A lot of people feel that if they draw a blank that you're going to think, what about them? What? They don't know what they're talking exactly or that they're going to. They think that you're going to feel. By the way, there's money in this envelope. This is an Asian little thing I picked up. Pass that down to Frank, if you will. He was just awarded some cash because a lot of people draw a blank and then they feel that all eyes are what? And then what happens? Do you then relax? No. Now what happens? You tighten up, Harvey, you're losing us. You're giving the rich people money. Okay then, Harvey, what? Okay, okay then, Harvey, you have not said too much, just so you know. But Harvey, having said that. So where did I break down? Where was my failure in this particular communication process? Help me out, treat me like a three year old and be gentle because I'm sensitive. Yes, you got some help. What's your name? Scott. Helped you out. Not knowing my audience clearly. I didn't check the wallets before people came in. Okay, my mistake. The speaker can make a mistake.
I feel that the class was very informative and pretty educational. And out of this class I feel that I got a foundation in order to increase my public speaking and hopefully further my career. I think he's a fun loving guy. I think it makes it easy for us to want to listen to him, to learn from him, because he's good.
At what he does.
Jesse reinforced a lot of foundations that I can place in my own classroom when I'm teaching my own classes. I'm going to utilize the public speaking that he implored in us with those principles, the five principles. Jesse's a great speaker. He makes it really easy to sit and learn because he's very active and does really good interactive teaching styles. I thought the class was great. I got out of it. What I came for was points on improving public speaking. He presented very well. He got his point across.
It was entertaining. Okay, well, I'll tell you, Jesse's an incredible individual. Very rarely with an agency.
Do you.
Find somebody that's going to interject their personal feelings and really take the initiative to make your agency or your business successful. And Jesse really takes to heart what it means to be successful successful. And he inspires people and he bridges teamwork and makes connections with your folks. It's not just training. And that can be powerful and that can be life changing for people of all ranks in all agencies and all businesses. And he's an inspiration.
What I get out of this session from Jesse is one. He's a great instructor. He's passionate about what he teaches. He keeps the audience interested. He keeps the class moving. Like you said earlier was two hours, but it felt like 10 minutes. What I took away from this class was some of the pointers about making connections using what you have. As far as if you're from Nebraska or if you have a little bit of a dialect, use that to your advantage. Make connection with the audience. If you get lost on where your thought process was, how do you recover? You go back to the audience, ask them where you were at, or you move forward. Just pulled a lot of good pointers out of this course, and the only thing I'd like to see improved in this class is if we could have more time for more role playing, I think that would be great. Presentation was excellent. Jesse is a consummate professional, and.
He.
Just kept it moving. He kept everybody interested. He kept everybody involved in the course, and everybody. I could tell just by looking around the room, most of the folks that were in this course had already worked 10 to 12 hours. And within the first half hour, 45 minutes, everybody was relaxed and laughing and enjoying the course. And. And that says a lot. After working 10 to 12 hours in the jail and then going to a class.
