“I sat down this morning and started to go through OWN THE STAGE. WOW WOW.
What a production and what a dedicated effort on your part to impart your
tremendous knowledge and experience! This program is worth twice the price
for someone interested in these topics. I certainly plan to promote it.”

Ron Grusy / South Euclid, OH, USA

"Excellent course. I got my value for money just by watching the first two DVDs.
I recommend it to any speech coach, speaker, and my mother-in-law!
I cannot wait to finish all DVDs. I want to share the knowledge with others.
And what more is there in the package? The work book and Audio CD's. They are really valuable.
The workbook helps you to absorb the learning and you can listen to CDs in your car to refresh
your learning. Since I live in Sri Lanka, its not easy to come to your boot camps,
so I think this is one way of delivering your experience and knowledge with people
who find it nearly impossible to travel in search of knowledge."

M.Z. Saleem / Colombo, Sri Lanka

"I'm really getting alot out of it. More than I thought I would. I wasn't sure watching you
coach other people, would be of any value to me, what would I get out of that?
But I am amazed. I'm just hooked and I think it's the repetition of the coaching.
I really get the point that you have to engage people with a story.
See and hearing it over and over again, it really drives the point home."

Barb Langlois / Chilliwack, BC, Canada

"Bravo, Craig! Bravo, Darren! Can you hear the standing ovation?
I just finished OWN THE STAGE and IT IS AWESOME! I kept smiling throughout the course
knowing that I'd made the right decision...purchasing this product. It's of the highest quality
and surpassed my expectations. You provided tips and techniques that I can apply immediately
and the coaching sessions were powerful. I took 23 pages of notes... just like the observer
you mentioned! You both are insightful and masterful teachers and communicators. One more accolade
and it's straight from the heart. Both of you radiated so much kindness and thoughtfulness
throughout the course, even when you were being brutally honest. I'm glad that I got to
spend so many hours with you... and that I can spend more time with you whenever I choose!"

Alexis Miles / Boulder, CO, USA

"Great DVD set. It is loaded with immediately useful information.
I’ll be recommending it to my fellow Toastmasters tonight during my
“Inspirational Moment” at the beginning of the meeting."

David Crone / Columbus, OH, USA

"I've watched all 10 DVD's and they are great! They beat all the audiobooks, podcasts, and
webinars on public speaking I ever heard. There is simply no match to seeing the BEFORE's and
AFTER's on video, with you giving superb feedback. I really hope you do more video productions."

Adam Wern / Stockholm, Sweden

"Tremendous product! I have spent more than $180,000.00 on my real estate investing
education (products, courses, and boot camps) and this may be the best packaged and
best presented course that I have ever purchased! Great investment!"

Randy Poulson / Woolwich Township, NJ, USA

"This is fantastic. Awesome techniques. I am enjoying every DVD and CD.
Thanks, and may God continue to bless you."

Mike Armstead / Columbus, SC, USA

"OWN THE STAGE is the next step in the evolution of your teaching materials.
What you have created is an exponential learning format. For years, it felt as if my learning
about speaking was a step-by-step long-term process. OWN THE STAGE can catapult you
many levels higher, in a short time if you'll simply follow Craig and Darren's lead.

Their dedication to teaching these principles and making you a better speaker comes through loud
and clear. The price I paid was a pittance compared to the years they're cutting off my learning time.
Buy this program now if you want to become a communicator who connects
rather than a speaker giving a speech.
The first two DVDs are an excellent foundation for the individual DVDs. Even though
I have your other materials, these two DVDs are critical for laying the foundation.
I know of no other speakers who lay out this type of foundation. Excellent!

The transition on Carmelita's speech is phenomenal. If I was a prospective coaching client of yours,
I would pay your fee after watching that disk. Her transformation was remarkable, and the impact on
me was very real with the second version of her speech. Thanks again for an outstanding learning tool."

Mike Davis / Cincinnati, OH, USA

"I am about half way through viewing/listening to OWN THE STAGE so far. I have many great
resources on Professional Speaking from yourselves and many others, however I consider
Own The Stage to be one of my best investments in my growth. Many programs talk
about what to do, however you both demonstrate it and give the rationale behind it.
You also take real examples of participants presentations and tweak them so the audience
'gets' the message more effectively. This is a great asset to help me fulfill my passion."

Dr. David Kliese Ph.D. / Sunshine Coast, Australia

"I just wanted to drop you a short note to say I am blown away by OWN THE STAGE.
I am only on DVD no 3 and it has already paid for itself. It is so much easier to digest and
internalise the learning when you see it rather than hear it. In addition, you put so much
effort into the coaching, it really is from the heart and it pays off. I can't believe the transformation
in Carmelita from day one to day two. Great work, great product & great mentoring!"

Davin Mac Ananey / Leinster, Ireland

"Just went through part of the first Foundation DVD and the one on Coaching Carmelita!
Amazingly helpful! I love the way you guys interact, celebrate the process, and highlight the
lessons right then and there as the speech unfolds. I took several pages of notes not just on principles,
but also on specific ideas and applications for my own talk tomorrow night. Fantastic resource!"

William Reed / Tokyo, Japan

"There are so many valuable speaking points in just these first two DVDs that I am
blown away. I knew to expect a lot and OTS is exceeding my high expectations. You guys
are awesome! I am excited about scheduling more speeches to use the material.
You don't 'own the stage' just because you own OWN THE STAGE -- you have to use it."

Jim Niswonger / St. Paul, MN, USA

"It's chalk full of great ideas and uber-useful tips you NEVER get from anyone else!
Those 'a-ha!' moments just hit you when you watch/listen to Darren & Craig...
I just sat there, saying 'Yeah, of course!' all the way through. You just NEVER, EVER
get this info anywhere else, try though you may, and we all try... Some of what you say
is SO seemingly simple but it's so NOT top-of-mind, when you're working on a speech necessarily.
It took the DVD's for me to learn this stuff, and guess what... I am already using it in my speeches!
It works!! Try it! We want to use the DVD's in a training session... Ideal!!
Thank you so much for producing this and letting us be your audience.
It was such fun and the DVD's are extraordinary!! :-)
