…TRIPLE Your Audience
10,000 speakers around the globe use this rock-solid formula to spread their ideas and triple their audience.
Ordinary presenters just don’t get it….
Recently I attended a presentation and watched two audience members walk out…
“It wasn’t anything special…lost me early on,” said the 1st.
The 2nd said: “It was boring…didn’t have all the answers.”
Once you lose your audience, it’s nearly impossible to get them back.
None of us can stand boring presentations with little excitement…
… or presenters that talk too fast, are monotone and use lots of ums and filler words.
We hate bad subject material that’s too easy and presenters that talk down to us.
We all want to connect to the people in the room…
…To touch audiences more emotionally and give them good advice.
But, if you’re boring and give boring presentations, then they don’t care about what you’re presenting.
You’re not looked at as a SME (subject matter expert).
It’s not uncommon to look out and 5 or 10 minutes in, see folks starting to drift away and to watch their attention spans wither.
Even though you know getting them involved and captivated is absolutely going to help you, it may be hit or miss for you right now.
You may have a fear of screwing up…
…with bigger audiences, smaller audiences or even 1-on-1 conversations.
You may have complicated content or you don’t know where to start….
…many of the best speakers often have to re-engineer their presentations because the content they have to deliver changes fast…
…it can be challenging when contemplating writing (or re-writing) your script, and handling a presentation with 50 slides when it could have been 3.
You may get nervous beforehand…
…even if it’s nothing seeded that keeps you up at night, you still get nervous before a lot of presentations.
Even if you’re not nervous inside, you may worry about SHOWING nervousness…
You may just want to be more comfortable at public speaking.
That’s because
When you can make a good impression quickly and
You can do something special…
…you can touch emotions and go BIG.
A Few Questions BEFORE You Present:
Do you know how to guarantee you’re telling your audience exactly what they want to know?
Have you identified your presentation personality style, and do you know how to use it to entertain your audience by being yourself?
Have you dialed in your messaging to make sure you’ll deliver a flawless presentation without relying on a script?
What if your audience isn’t listening? Do you have a plan for engagingand re-engaging your listeners?
Most importantly…are you absolutely certain your entire audience will take action when you’re done?
“If You Answered ‘No’ To Any of These Questions, Then You Need Presentation Bootcamp”
FACT: Businesses Need Presenters (…Who Actually Know What They’re Doing)
I’m not going to sell you on the importance of presentations.
If you’re here, you already know what presentations can do for your business:

Touch emotions, spread ideas and make the content exciting…

That’s where you come in.

Persuade your audience with the words you choose by minimizing fillers, eliminating deceptive words and finding alternatives to negative or controlling words…

Find your optimal pace, volume and tone of voice and master your inflections to create dynamic effects…
Create opening slides that assure your audience they are in the right place and reminds them what they are going to hear…

The exact steps to make your takeaways specific and actionable in seven words or less…
Show your presentation was worthwhile and move your audience to respond with enthusiasm…
…and much, MUCH more.
Are You A “Doer”…or Just a “Talker?” (or…Why You Might Want To Take this Course)
Let’s face it: Presentation Experts are a dime a dozen.
So how do you separate those who “walk the talk” from the ones who merely…
…talk?
And at Rule the Room, it was our problem, too. You see, we don’t just teach presentation best practices, we actually
Sure, over the last 10 years, we’ve observed and analyzed over 10,000 speakers (including the top 100 TED talks of all time).
But, we’ve also personally given over 10,000 talks of our own to over
We aren’t researchers. We aren’t journalists.
We’re business owners training employees (and training influencers to train employees) to achieve their full potential at work, convert belief into practice, and make retaining our employees a priority.
In other words:
We call it “Ruling the Room”, and here it is…
Your Expertise + Our Rule the Room Method = IMPACT.
THAT makes you an We built this course to train our own presenters, but in the spirit of “open sourcing” our business (which is what Rule the Room is all about) we’re now making this certification and training available to the world.
In short, we’re making it available to YOU…

Public Speaking Bootcamp: Reviews
“I have been to several seminars on public speaking and giving presentations, including Dale Carnegie training. I truly went into this thinking that I couldn't possibly learn anything new, but I found myself scribbling notes like a mad woman during the presentation. I quickly realized that these were tips and techniques that I had never heard before, and that I could use immediately upon my return to the office.”
- Joey Monson-Lillie - Human Resources Manager
“The number of things that you take away from one of Jason’s presentations, there’s just so many things, you can’t count them because it’s going to be different for every person. He might teach something that a few people in the room already know, but for the rest of the room it’s brand new knowledge for them and so the vast breadth of information that he teaches the entire audience is perfect because you know you are always going to come away with a lot of information.”
- Brad Grzesiak - Co-Founder and CEO – Bendyworks
“Jason’s techniques break down speaking fundamentals that can make anyone a more powerful and relatable speaker. His tips have revolutionized my presentations at large conferences, and internally to PerBlue employees.”
- Justin BeckCEO - PerBlue
"Every piece of advice you give has a very clear, direct follow-up action: if you want to get better at x (and by the way, doing x makes your presentations better), do y. The "y" you specify is never vague but instead very precise and obvious, thereby making your advice practical, unlike most given on the topic."
Alex Jamar - Project Manager
“Your class was one of the most useful that I have taken. Not only did you teach me how to give an outstanding presentation, you also demonstrated how to do so. This has been so useful as a project manager that I will likely take it again in order to refine my skills.”
John Dickens - Project Manager
"Honestly, this was one of the most helpful classes in my career and I think your presentation skills training was at the core of what made the class so effective. You model the skills that we want to obtain, and I think that helps a lot of different learning styles. I liked this class so much I tell my team members and ACs to attend this class anyways.”
Rachel Goldsmith - Implementation Services
"I’ve had amazing teachers throughout my life, but few were as engaging and informative as Jason. I was blown away after seeing just one of his presentations – if you’re lucky enough to have the same opportunity, do not pass it up.”
Will Brooks - Quality Assurance
"I figured Jason Teteak might have a few new tricks—but not much that I hadn’t heard before. I was wrong. Jason integrates the latest research on presenting, learning, and audience dynamics with a captivating style that plays with the ironic fact that he is doing presentations… about presentation skills. And therein lies the secret to this marvelous program."
- Philip Deloria - Professor and Associate Dean, University of Michigan
“Your presentation training helped me immensely understand that people love presentations when they are learning what they want to know. After taking your presentation training into account, I know how to design a course that will empower the end user by teaching them what they want to know – things that will make them happy, successful, or more efficient. The fun part is, while you are teaching them what they want to know, you can sneak the things in that they need to know. There is so much more I can learn from your training as well, and I know this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Tucker Morris - MCTS–System Engineer
"It's pretty simple. Jason Teteak walks the talk. In this day and age, finding a true thought leader amongst many is the key to getting to new levels. Listening to Jason and benefitting from his teachings will take you to that new level you seek. He is cutting edge, extremely practical and connects in a way that is motivating, informing and memorable. Some of the biggest benefits received from Jason are tactics, ideas and methods that are immediately implementable. Watch Jason’s program before your competition does."
- Al Lautenslager - Best-selling Author, Guerrilla Marketing in 30 Days

Rule The Room Public Speaking and Presentations Bootcamp Is Different
Sure, you can probably find other “public speaking and presentation” trainings and certifications that cover similar topics, but Rule the Room Public Speaking and Presentation Bootcamp is unique because it’s built and taught by real public speakers who actually present and speak and observe, coach and train thousands of public speakers to mastery.
In other words, we aren’t “researchers” sharing “theoretical fluff”. We’re in-the-trenches public speakers who despise untested theory and believe that the best way to learn public speaking techniques is to actually get up and teach in front of a real audience. And that's exactly what this program does. If that sounds like something that fits you, then welcome. You’re in the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: “How will this Rule the Room Public Speaking Bootcamp help me?”
A: It depends on who you are…..
If you’re a business owner, this course is a great way to learn presentation skills yourself. It’s also a great way to train and certify members of your own team and get them up to speed in half the time on the latest classroom training trends and best practices.
If you’re a consultant, this certification is a practical way to show that you are a Presentation Skills Specialist, which could help you attract better, higher-paying clients, boost their ROI and efficiency, and lower turnover, safety and security concerns.
If you’re a student, this certificate can set you apart from other graduates who may have a business or education degree, but don’t have the specialized skills that employers today are looking for.
If you’re an employee or training professional, this certificate can make you more valuable to your company, which can get you that raise or promotion you may deserve (but don’t have a reason to request).
Q: “How valuable is this Rule the Room Public Speaking Bootcamp?”
A: The bootcamp itself is highly valuable if your goal is to set yourself apart from the competition. What’s even MORE valuable than any course is the knowledge and understanding you’re going to gain when you take this class and pass all the tests. You will know public speaking and presentations.
Q: “When do I have to finish the class?”
A: You can go at whatever pace suits you best. You’ve got a lot of other things going on in your life, so just because you enroll in the workshop doesn’t mean you need to complete it right away. In fact, you can start and finish the workshop whenever you want. Either way, we’re going to be there with you every step of the way to ensure you’re successful and can get finished.
Q: “How soon can I finish the class?”
A: The Presentation Bootcamp Mastery class is in three parts. You will need the three courses on Udemy to complete the 16 hours of video training, so if you are dedicating yourself full time to it, you could probably finish in 3 days, but we don’t recommend that. Instead, we recommend you take 7 – 14 days (if you can give your full attention to the material. If you only have a little bit of time each day, then you should dedicated 4 – 6 weeks to completion.
Q: “How certain can I be that I will be finish?”
A: It’s never a guarantee. If it was, then our bootcamp wouldn’t mean anything. Instead, it does mean something, and because of that, you’re going to have to work at this thing. When you do finish, you can be certain that it will actually mean something. The class and the activities are both going to challenge you, but rest assured we make everything simple, easy to understand, and quick to learn.
Q: How hard is the bootcamp?
A: You can liken our bootcamp to the story of “goldilocks and the three bears” – not too hot and not too cold. In other words, it's hard enough that you need to study and know your stuff, but we don’t make it hard just to be difficult. We make the bootcamps as hard as they need to be to make sure you know how to “Rule the Room”. We believe learning doesn’t happen until a behavior change occurs, so to preserve the integrity of these bootcamps, we have made the course challenging and the questions specific to our proprietary Rule the Room Public Speaking and Presentations techniques, methodologies and recipes. Don’t expect to pass the course just because you have taken other trainings or certification courses in the past. This training is different, and the bootcamps will reflect those differences.
Q: Do you offer grants or financial aid for your programs?
A: At this time, no grants or financial aid programs are available. The good news is that we have priced all our workshops and trainings so that they are affordable to everyone, especially compared to similar public speaking and presentation programs and workshops.
This program dives deeply into the strategies, techniques and tools you need to create an effective presentation. You'll learn how to attract your audience to the presentation with content they won't be able to resist, and keep them there by subtly revealing to them the underlying emotional reasons they should want it. This program will help you create core content that is exactly what your audience wants to hear, put it into a form that makes it easy for you to deliver, and present it in an attractive visual show.
To engage your audience members, the theme of your presentation must appear to have value to them and be in line with their goals. It is essential you know what specific topics will be of interest. The best way is to ask them.
Now comes the unique element of your presentation: when you tell them the whys.
The whats—the takeaways—offer practical advice that appeals to people's conscious needs. The whys meet their subconscious needs. They eliminate or minimize anything that is causing anxiety, frustration, disappointment, or conflict, and they enhance whatever brings them pleasure.
By defining the way you'll relieve their pain points and satisfy their pleasure points, you tell your audience why they'd want your presentation. I then asked Brad to form a sentence naming each takeaway (the what) that summarized the reason they'd want it (the whys) and hinted at the way to achieve it (the how). The audience can't resist the bait. That's why I call those suggestions the hooks.
Go through the takeaways one by one. Begin by asking yourself, “Does the audience know how to do this?” This is unlikely, of course, since if the audience already knew how to make those takeaways happen, they wouldn't be at your presentation.
For example, when I asked Brad if he felt his audience would understand how to put his takeaway “Solve complex math problems” into practice, he said no. So I told him that he would have to come up with tasks—procedures or actions that make the takeaways possible.
You must do the same. I suggest that a presenter come up with about three tasks for each takeaway. You describe the tasks in exactly the same way you described the takeaways.
The example is the final level of the task hierarchy. A good presenter gets to it as quickly as possible. It is the most powerful way to ensure that your audience knows how to do what you suggest. The examples are very important because they're the solutions to the mysteries.
Don't overwhelm your audience with material. Try to keep your presentation to around five agenda items per hour, ideally ten minutes each but no shorter than six and no longer than thirteen.
These assure the audience they're in the right place (because the title is onscreen) and remind them what they're going to hear. You add the rest. This is what continues to hook your audience—when they have to listen to you to get the answer to their mystery.
The highlighted agenda slides serve mostly as placeholders so the audience knows what's about to be discussed. The task slides summarize the main tasks involved in making the takeaway actionable, but you supply the details and describe subtasks and sub-subtasks as necessary.
One summary slide, the next-to-last slide. It repeats the agenda to remind the audience of what they just got. And one final slide, which confirms that the presentation is over. It expresses thanks and gives contact information, and remains onscreen after you have left the stage.
There are many sources for pictures on the web. Search “stock photos” and a large number of sites will pop up. Look for up-to-date information about specific sites where you can find images available for a minimal fee or no fee. Read the information and licensing terms carefully. Copyright law governs the use and alteration of images. The words “royalty-free” mean you might pay a flat fee to use the image but you will not have to pay for each copy or use. The words “copyright-free” usually indicate that there is no charge for use and that you may be able to modify the image as you wish.
There is no shortage of books on how to manipulate the text and the visuals on your PowerPoint slides, and I think you may find them useful. Here, I will point out only the essential points to keep in mind and share a few of the techniques I find most useful in making attractive, effective slides.
Words alone aren't always the best way to make your point. Illustrations allow you to present a lot of information at once.
Before I began to address one group about giving presentations, I had overheard them debate the value of handouts, so I addressed the topic during my opening. “You may not be convinced of the value of handouts,” I said, “but I ask that each of you take one. Within fifteen minutes, at least half of you will be taking copious notes.”
Once you've finished the course, you can obtain your Udemy Certificate of completion. To learn how to do so click here: https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/229603868-How-to-Download-Your-Certificate-of-Completion

This program offers you the principles and tools that can help you do many things, among them attract your audience to the presentation with content they won’t be able to resist, and keep them there by subtly revealing to them the underlying emotional reasons they should want it. This program will help you create core content that is exactly what your audience wants to hear, put it into a form that makes it easy for you to deliver, and present it in an attractive visual show.
To get results, you have to act on that advice.
Take a few minutes to think about where you would like to make changes. Write down the top ten areas in which this program has shown you ways to improve your presentation content creation. Since research and my own experiences indicate that people can focus only three goals at a time, I suggest you choose the three you want to incorporate in your life first. Start working on those, and once you have achieved them, work on the next three. Continue until you have achieved them all.
Begin by going over the Your Turns for Each of the Main Sections of this program below. Then Dedicate at least an hour per week for twelve weeks in a row to practice.
Remember, presenters aren’t born; they’re made. You have all the tools at your disposal with a unique set of practical examples to make them happen for you. I have seen these efforts pay off for thousands of people with whom I’ve worked, and you will have that same experience.
You can Rule the Room.
