“ Barbara Tannenbaum has been one of the most influential people in my career. Taking her course taught me the art of public speaking and communication. Her in-depth knowledge of the techniques required to make an effective public speaker were eye opening and highly effective for me personally. Her fun yet serious approach to teaching is unique and is something I have greatly benefited from in my career. I thank Barbara for making me a much more confident and articulate public speaker. ”
