“Gerardo is very professional, he maintains a level of energy that he never lost and above all he explains each point very well, emphasizing the most important points. With full willingness to clarify doubts.”

“One of the tangible results was during the presentation of the account planning project transformation. Prior to the session, with 100 people from different areas, I analyzed the different motivations of the audience and, being very diverse, I found the common denominators to facilitate connection with the different areas. When the day of the presentation arrived, I used tools such as silence, modification of voice tones, and interaction through questions, and that facilitated the transmission of the message and helped me connect with the audience. A week later I shared a document with the next steps to continue with the connection. The change I noticed was that dialogue flowed much better and that, despite being a sensitive topic—account planning and cross-functionality of areas—we managed to make a very natural match. That allowed others to express their opinions and discover the true concerns.”

“It is a different experience that breaks paradigms. As doctors we tend to be very rigid and this course helps us see things from another perspective. We believe that only scientific evidence matters and that's it, but no, it has a lot to do with how the slides are organized. I highly recommend the course, it helped me develop myself in a completely different way.”

“I learned the importance of sharing a story, because it not only allows you to show empathy, it is also an opportunity to share your experience. I also understood that showing vulnerability changes the perspective of attendees and helps capture their attention. A clear example was the IMSS Catalog II process, which is new for all collaborators at Takeda. The General Director mentioned that, given everyone's lack of knowledge, we ran the risk of delaying the deployment of the Entyvio contract, emphasizing that no one at Takeda had experience in that. Through my story, everyone learned that I was a pioneer in that process and that I have managed it for many years, and that gave them a lot of peace of mind. This made me see that it is extremely important not to assume that all attendees know everything about you, nor you about them. Before taking this course, it would never have crossed my mind to share a story, much less one that would make me show my vulnerability and lack of empathy. Today I understood how important it is that people, not only work colleagues, but also friends and family, feel your empathy, that you understand what they are going through, and that perhaps with your experience, together you can resolve complicated situations. After my presentation, I received several text messages and audio messages congratulating me, mentioning that they didn't know I had experience in the subject and that I demonstrated it to them with facts. Furthermore, last week when I had the opportunity to meet with that team again, they told me that the information I shared with them was very helpful, the process manual, but especially the tips, because they have been able to obtain information in their accounts and have guided their doctors about the process, and they are achieving approval for all their Catalog II cases, which translates into the deployment of the Entyvio contract. So the best evidence I have is the feedback they gave me last week and the deployment of the contract.”

“It is definitely worth it, it is always important that they help you design a presentation, it was useful to learn new ways of seeing the design for a presentation. There is much to learn. It helped me know the steps you must follow for a presentation, to use tools and tips for a presentation with images.”

“A different perspective. It helps me see the client, it makes visible the partner who is communicating, it's not about us talking or us trying to retain a card, it's about being the partner and really identifying what the credit card is useful for them, why they need it, what is its value in their life, at the moment they are going through, and the client values that a lot”

“I faced the challenge of coordinating multiple teams—global, regional, and local—with different priorities and communication styles. As part of the organizing committee, I needed to ensure that Mexico's key messages were visible and that the experience had impact beyond the in-person event. To solve this, I applied storytelling concepts to build a clear narrative with emotional connection, focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and on Mexico's strategic role within emerging markets. That narrative functioned as a common thread to align the teams and generate a coherent and meaningful experience.”

“I want to widely recommend Leaderlix because even though I had a certain degree of experience, they gave me tools that helped me structure my presentations, some very interesting tips and the experience of people who have been at TED or at some other conferences, who have much more experience than me, synthesized in a very digestible way. I widely recommend this course.”

“Even if you have vast experience giving presentations, this course teaches you how essential it is for your communication to be purposeful in order to create real impact—not just transmit content. For me, realizing that a presentation must be intentionally designed to truly connect with the audience was a game changer. The tools I gained will be especially useful for designing and delivering scientific presentations in a more effective way.”

“I see it within Bayer. There are various teams: there is the Cardiology team, there is Oncology, Specialized Medicine, Women's Health. And honestly the Cardio team that took this course... you can see an abysmal difference. And I say this with all the confidence and emphasis that it deserves, because the fact that the cardio team presents itself, is in these forums and uses this methodology enhances and stands out among the others, because it has served us to hook the attention of the attendees. So it has been something that has brutally made the difference.”

“Seeing things from a different perspective, regarding call handling, how to approach communication in our calls in a different way, understanding that you can work from another angle; I personally consider it is always very enriching to exercise our mind to learn new ways both of doing and of understanding things”

“What I appreciated most about this course is that it didn’t just focus on how to give a presentation—it taught me how to communicate clearly in any type of conversation. Every concept we covered felt relevant and applicable, especially since I hold a leadership role where I regularly interact with different profiles, including oppositional ones. I can apply the lessons from this activity across all areas of my work. Being in a management position, I’m constantly involved in high-stakes conversations where it’s crucial to convey my message effectively and to use the right tools depending on who I’m speaking with. Throughout the course, I practiced active listening. The structure helped us identify different types of people—like oppositional listeners—and gave us strategies to engage with each one. That made the content engaging and easy to internalize. What I found most valuable was the chance to interact with peers and put the tools into practice right away. I left not only with theory but also with useful, hands-on experience I can implement immediately.”

“The classifications of communication types of a leader were the most interesting for me. I can develop them with my work team, as we are part of the technical service present with our clients. My intention was to listen actively to understand the examples that were given, since they enriched my ideas. The greatest value was knowing that there are different ways to communicate with the team, and this makes the difference between success and failure, as we are an important part in taking the direction of the team.”

Justino Arriaga

“This activity was profoundly meaningful for my professional development, as it helped me realize the power of storytelling to inspire, motivate, and create genuine connections with different audiences. One of the most impactful concepts was understanding the “level” from which one communicates: survival, what’s necessary, adventure, the special, or the important. I now see how essential it is to identify where our team is emotionally and guide them toward a higher level of commitment and purpose. I can apply this insight directly in three key areas of my professional life: as a pediatrician, when talking to families about serious or chronic conditions; as a university professor, to better engage medical students and facilitate their learning; and as Vice Dean of a School of Medicine, to lead innovation and drive cultural change within our organization. Throughout the session, I practiced genuine active listening. The speaker’s energy and clarity made it impossible not to engage deeply. The greatest value I took from this experience was realizing how much I still have to learn about storytelling—and how essential it is as a tool for leadership and professional growth across the many roles I fulfill.”

“Regardless of how comfortable or uncomfortable you feel giving presentations and speaking in front of an audience, we always have something to learn. It is for all types of characteristics and profiles. I think it is a very good program.”

“The course is very good because it takes us step by step so we can understand how to make and develop our topic. The instructor is very good, he was very didactic and invited you to participate at every moment. This methodology is a different way to communicate a topic, after taking the workshop you will come out as a differentiator.”

César Hernández

“Since the in-person event, in all the classes I teach I am thinking about this methodology, thinking about the importance of emotion in the audience, I believe it has helped me a lot. My expectations were exceeded because it is something completely new for me. Without a doubt it is useful to have this technical preparation; every doctor who is going to dedicate themselves to giving conferences would need this preparation.”

“One of the most powerful tools I gained from this experience is the Trojan Horse method to capture attention right from the start. This technique is not only creative but also deeply strategic, allowing me to build more impactful presentations—both within my team and for global audiences. I also appreciated the holistic approach to voice, tone, and diction, and the emphasis on crafting strong storytelling backed by data. The chance to practice a real presentation and refine it step by step was essential to reinforcing these insights and applying them immediately in my professional environment. I now feel much more equipped to pitch ideas and projects with clarity, impact, and purpose.”

Octavio Buzo Arguelles

“The moment when I had the opportunity to moderate the sales convention was where I applied several concepts. One of the tools was "sharpening the axe," because I analyzed a diverse audience as best as possible and was able to prepare messages and stories that would stick. That was evident, for example, when closing one of the convention activities, when we left satisfied with the purpose we sought as a diverse, inclusive company centered on the patient. I also worked on speaking with stories. One of the days was focused on "inspiring" and I had the opportunity to tell the story of a person with Down syndrome who has forged a path to be independent, and that opened the audience to connect with the purpose of inspiring us. By sharpening the axe, getting to know the audience first was key, because I identified that one of the common motivators was the patients and the patient's story was going to click, we managed to put ourselves in their shoes. In that execution, the use of tone of voice was important to move emotions and make participants feel like an important part of the activity and our purpose as Takeda. I am left mainly with the importance of preparation and with the use of pauses and silences. This gave me more fluency when speaking in virtual work sessions and being more assertive in my comments.”

“Excellent session. Congratulations to the entire team! A fantastic experience to broaden the perspective on how to communicate information from the Pharma side, which is usually rigid and detached from emotions.”

“To share that in the course you can learn to improve communication and be able to resolve conflicts effectively, that the benefits the course shares are active listening, increase empathy and develop skills to handle objections effectively. This will allow you to reach your objectives and improve your performance.”

“This new way of giving presentations helps maintain something that is always difficult for us in every presentation, which is: the concentration and attention of the people who are present. Many times we think that because the information is interesting to us, it will be interesting to everyone, and the reality is that it is not. It helps a lot to make a synthetic process of complex information, which facilitates the communication that one emits, for the understanding of the audience we are directing it to, without tiring them. Many times it has happened to me that I am attending an event as an assistant and the doctor or presenter is giving us incredibly interesting information, but on the second slide I got lost. With this new modality, the truth is that you don't have time to be thinking about what you failed to do, you are concentrated and paying attention, because the information is very fluid and you are trying to capture everything that is coming to you. You have given a turn to my way of working as a presenter. Starting because you challenged me, continuing because you highlighted some errors for me. Constructive criticism, despite how difficult it is, helps to improve in aspects. I realized at one point that even though you were challenging me, the ultimate goal was to help me reach people better.”

“This is going to help me a lot because it made me change the way I present. Correcting and correcting, making changes, is going to give a 360-degree turn in my professional life because of the knowledge I acquired with you. What you presented to us is extremely interesting, they give you very detailed technology to give an amazing presentation. At first it was difficult for me but it was worth it. They are going to be very amazed at the end since it is not what is expected, they will be left with a good taste in their mouth and they will be able to be better doctors and better presenters, they are going to love it.”

“I would definitely recommend it, I would tell them that it is a method that will help you make presentations that interest your audience and make your idea pragmatic so that it helps you improve your objectives.”

“I liked it a lot. It's a space where you can truly feel calm about each step you're taking. You go into the unknown, because it's truly stepping away from what you do when you only look at it in one way. You feel accompanied and you can feel calm asking, exploring, and identifying other perceptions and points of view, that you hadn't even considered before. I think it's good to be open to this that is new. Everything serves you to the extent that you understand what it's about.”

“I think it's wonderful to know how to tell stories because we do it all the time and it's the best way to become not only a better professional but a better communicator, you communicate all the time and knowing how to do it I think is key. The process I went through with you helped me know how to tell a story. It is of great value to me in all aspects.”

“From the point that event execution was being improved without being at 100%, I implemented with the core team the color-coding of KPIs. In a meeting we started by defining which parameters had worked well and which ones we needed to improve, and from there I raised the importance and value of measuring the following 3 events with KPIs to ensure better management. It was well-received, and when I emphasized that the super green was the most challenging KPI and that it was the one that ensured outstanding execution, it made more sense. The 3 events improved, flowed in a more harmonious way, and a mindset of executing with excellence began to be generated in the team.”

“My expectations were to improve my skills and strategies for making professional presentations. Generate a common language as an area to make presentations. Build confidence with speakers. Now we all understand the path to present in an amazing way and I also learned and organized things that I previously had as separate knowledge. It seemed practical to me, and communicated in a dynamic way. I liked that it was designed as a series of steps, with exercises to solidify the knowledge. This program will help you transform the way we understand how to make a presentation, making it interesting, practical and professional, and with a series of replicable steps.”

Glieb Troncoso

“It is a super great experience, when you arrive at your presentation and you see the difference that exists between when you give a presentation normally without having support, direction, and advice like the ones you provide us through the course, it is very visible. At the moment of giving your presentation and achieving a great connection with the audience it is impressive, particularly it left me very happy, when I came down from the stage I felt like a peacock.”

Heder Gonzalez Gonzalez

“I think this technique seems very good to me, it breaks all our schemes as health professionals. We are used to another dynamic and this breaks all the structures we had. This program makes these presentations much more striking for the audience, they hook you. Especially for me, this is very new. The inspiring story, we had never used it before, but I think it makes you have empathy with other people. We as doctors are used to something more technical, for example, making presentations based on articles. This course is something that moved me completely, it cost me a lot of work, but little by little, practicing over and over, I think we can perfect the technique.”

“I feel that these sessions were tailor-made for me. The experience with Leaderlix has seemed very important to me for my professional development as a speaker and as a communicator. It seems to me that it is always important to keep updating yourself. Without a doubt we all have areas of opportunity. It seems to me a very cutting-edge methodology, very interesting, and I think it is worthwhile to consider it for potential speakers or those who are already speakers and want to improve these skills.”

“By incorporating concepts like the paradigmatic idea into my presentation and focusing on the problem rather than the topic, the flow happened in a more agile way. Also, considering who the audience was and the context helped me generate attention and openness from the audience. Although when we started the sessions with Gerardo we talked about putting into practice what we learned in a specific meeting, the opportunity came up to participate in a session during the recent convention and there I applied the concepts. In the same way, I will do the same in the session that I initially discussed with Gerardo. For that session I also studied the content, and that allowed me to feel more confident. The way the project was narrated was very natural: the context was addressed, the problem was presented, the audience was made a participant, and they were attentive during the presentation. As evidence of the result, I received positive comments not only about the project, but about the way it was presented. There were even written comments congratulating me and they asked me to share this same thing in the region.”

Maite Tazón Sierra

“Sometimes fear of the audience consumes you. Fear of colleagues can take over and you can see that dilemma between criticism and scarcity mentality, that "I can't." I really liked this ability to present in a completely different way from what we have learned in schools. There are more ways to learn, I have been experiencing it. I am very grateful for the patience you have had because sometimes in my field it is complex. Sometimes a certain impostor syndrome appears, I am grateful and admire your patience Gerardo. I felt a very close contact from you all. It is a very human form of learning.”

“It seems like a very cool tool to me, very didactic. I enjoyed this a lot and I appreciate sharing this experience and knowledge. I recommend this experience 100%. I think it is a completely different way of transmitting knowledge. Transmitting the experience goes beyond reading slides.”

Verónica Cedillo

“What stood out to me the most in this activity was learning how to present any topic clearly and directly, capturing the audience’s attention from the start. This straightforward and enthusiastic way of communicating is extremely valuable for keeping people engaged and ensuring your message gets across. I see direct applications in my professional life, especially when presenting class topics or sharing results from practical exercises. It’s also highly useful when explaining processes and highlighting, in a concise and clear way, the consequences of not following them. This focus on clarity will help me communicate more effectively with both my teams and students. I believe I maintained active listening throughout the session. The examples presented were so relevant and clear that they helped me recognize past mistakes and explore new, more impactful ways to communicate. What I valued the most were those practical examples showing how to craft interesting and clear stories. They gave me a concrete guide on how to deliver messages that truly connect.”

Adriana Ramirez

“A concrete example was the presentation I gave at the past sales kick off. I received the second best presentation and more than 25 people approached me to recognize my story, because it had inspired them and called them to action. Additionally, the General Director and the Regional Director recognized me as having an exceptional presentation for its emotional impact and content.”

Jorge Méndez

“I definitely recommend it because there are many people who go to the speaker to get the information a little more digested, to make it easier for them to apply it and to have information that is concise, clear, entertaining and that can be understood; and many times it is not entertaining and it is not concise because we do not know it, because nobody teaches it to us and learning it is important.”

Nathania Cárdenas

Galderma

“I have learned to improve my presentations, make them shorter, and how to communicate an idea in a clear and concise way. I have changed the idea I had about presentations, because it is not having a lot of information that makes them good, but rather connecting with people, making it understandable, and perhaps what is most important is the ending where I must hook the audience to achieve an impact with my presentation.”

“After my husband Gerardo has been the man who has been on my mind hahahaha wow I've dreamed about him. Not having a story to tell made me feel many times that I had nothing to contribute, more than that, I already wanted to get off the boat, I didn't want to anymore, what a shame to stand up and contribute nothing, but Gerardo takes you to the limit.”

“Gerardo is brilliant, he is exactly what you are looking for if you want to build a successful career as a coach and speaker. The best part of all is that if you don't know what you want, you will definitely know it after meeting him. I'm telling you from experience, he will give you light and direction on your path. I have no doubts, Gerardo is your best option.”

“Participating in this program was challenging, but it was very much worth it because as a doctor it gave me a new perspective on how to communicate my work. It gave me tools and showed me how to apply them in a systematized way. This is very important for any doctor because it gives structure to the idea of how to convey medical practice. With Amazing Presentations you will learn to communicate medicine emotionally. What a great course you have! Congratulations!”

“The activity was an incredibly enriching experience, allowing me to deepen my understanding of concepts like artificial intelligence, effective communication, persuasion, creativity, the Eureka moment, and conscious leadership. These insights are directly applicable to my professional practice, especially in event organization, public speaking, and daily team communication. Thanks to the live exercises and active note-taking, I was able to internalize the concepts and apply them to real situations, improving the quality of my recent presentations. The greatest value I found was learning how to use communication tools not only for presentations but also to make everyday interactions more memorable and emotional, genuinely connecting with the audience.”

“I improved my way of communicating in front of small and large audiences, and I have greater confidence in myself to convey clear messages that generate a call to action. I also perceive that the confidence with which I now communicate, combined with hard data, generates more trust and credibility with my interlocutors. A concrete example was that I had been searching for months for a meeting to present Ixazomib to ISSSTE, and with the changes in the way I communicate with decision makers, in the last 2 weeks they gave me the appointment and furthermore the presentation was very successful. The impact is also noticeable in day-to-day life. It is noteworthy the way I now communicate: I feel more confident in generating messages, I am more punctual in conveying them, I don't go around in circles with the topics I want to address, nor do I ramble. Personally the change has also been considerable, because my communication with my children, husband, family, and friends now generates a more positive impact. If I had to present evidence, I would have liked to have a recording of my way of presenting 6 months ago and now, but since I don't have one, I believe my colleagues and supervisors can be faithful witnesses to my evolution. What I can document is the change in my PowerPoint presentations, because there you can clearly see my evolution between how I did them 6 months ago and the presentations I create now.”

“Excellent content. It exceeded my expectations because I thought it was just an explanation workshop, instead it was very dynamic and entertaining. Gerardo is very good in his way of explaining and giving the workshop.”

Carmen Verduzco

“I think they should take this program. It is very dynamic, it is never boring, it is never rigid. It gives you many options, many tools, many ways for the method to permeate within you. I think you will not regret it. I believe the inflection point was very important for me. Also the leadership and the call to action. It was possibly what I learned the most from. If you apply what you learn in the program, your presentation becomes much more engaging, also when you are preparing it.”

“Indeed they taught me, complemented or reminded me of practical and fundamental aspects for making powerful presentations. It is a well-structured program and easy to understand, coupled with how well the objectives of the presentations are tied together. The instructor was good, good handling of the information and of the group. It can be a very useful tool to improve professional aspects.”

Augusto Figueroa

Gerente Médico

Novartis

“My experience doing this program was good. I believe it allowed me to open myself to a new way of communicating. That is very important. It was very difficult for me at first, but it allowed me to discover a more simplified way and at the same time with much more potential to communicate, under certain aspects. I had never tried it before. In the end I felt very happy about doing it. The part of the course that was most difficult for me was the graphics. We are used to putting a lot of information in them. Following Gerardo's idea, about knowing the data by heart, about saying them without overwhelming people, I thought about how I was going to be able to make the graphics simpler. When I was doing it, I realized that that is the point of the Amazing Presentations course.”

“Very pleased. Few experiences with such good communication, with such good quality in terms of content. I would like to always be able to count on support companies in that field and with that quality. I have been modifying a bit my basic curriculum classes that I give to my students so as not to make it boring for them and to make the messages clear. For a long time I feel that improvements and that you inevitably incorporate into your presentations, it is something quite useful. Definitely if you are looking to grow, you need this advice.”

Alfredo Valerio

“In less than two months, I went from just having the idea of being a Digital Coach to having my first online clients, an automated business model, and a complete platform at my disposal. All of this without needing to hire programmers, community managers, or business advisors. With the application of Gerardo's system, the entire process becomes logical and understandable. Now I have excellent prospects for the next steps in my business and professional projects as a Digital Coach, thanks to Internet tools and Gerardo Betancourt's methodology.”

“One of the learnings that interested me most was the concepts of "Flare" and "Spark". I not only understood their meaning, but also how to incorporate them into my personal communication style. It seemed revelatory to see that these qualities can be developed and are not exclusive to those who "are born with charisma". I identified that I can put these concepts into practice directly in my work presentations. I feel that they give me tools to express myself with more confidence, dynamism, and authenticity, which makes my ideas land with more force. During the activity, I remained attentive to the content and the way the instructor explained it helped me a lot. The examples he shared made it easier to understand what they meant and how they could be applied in different contexts. What I value most about the experience was discovering how to communicate with "Flare" and "Spark". It was an interesting shift in the way I see communication: it is not just about saying something well, but about transmitting it with presence and energy.”

“My expectations were to increase knowledge to develop an excellent presentation and they were met because I discovered that there are details that I was missing. It is good but it does require more practice, perhaps as a team. The instructor is good. I would recommend the Workshop so you can refine your presentations and have more tools for new presentation options.”

Claudia Rodríguez Velasco

“The experience was truly meaningful. The concepts covered —effective communication, inspiring leadership, problem-solving, emotional connection, innovation, and creativity— were not only interesting but highly applicable across all areas of my professional life. What stood out was how these elements come together to create real impact, from developing ideas to achieving strategic goals. This activity is a powerful tool for both professional and personal growth. Without a doubt, it makes a difference.”

“As a trauma surgeon and speaker for several laboratories, I knew I had a skill for making presentations, however when I took the course I realized that there were things that could be improved and I am always grateful for the opportunity to do so. This course impacts the way you approach people and being able to make clearer what you consider important for each audience. I believe that in addition to enriching your knowledge, you have the satisfaction of knowing how to give a good presentation.”

“We learned the 6 phases for the prescription to take place. Thank you for working with us, it helps us improve in our daily work. The program seems good to me but it could be done in more time to go deeper and make it clearer for everyone. The instructor presents ease of speech and keeps us attentive, I like the program's dynamic, it is agile. It would be good to have another program at some other meeting.”

Arturo Hurtado

“This is a completely disruptive method. For me it has been a great way to open my mind, explore new alternatives, get out of my comfort zone and start the new challenge of communicating in a more efficient, inspiring and motivating way. It is a system that brings a lot of order and gives a lot of punch to what one wants to say. I give many talks inside and outside the company and you helped me see very important things. Amazing Presentations not only works but works very well!”

Martin Mariscal Lauhsen

“This experience provided me with valuable tools to enhance my leadership, particularly in how to engage the team and keep them motivated to collaborate and bring new ideas to the table. I learned the importance of telling clear, purpose-driven stories that align with what is expected from each team member, which makes communication and execution much more effective. These insights are helping me manage my development team better and support their talents, directly impacting our daily outcomes.”

“The session helped me rediscover the power of genuinely people-centred communication. As a healthcare professional and lecturer, I am taking away concrete techniques to pinpoint what patients, users and students need and turn those insights into more human and effective service. The clarity with which the tools were explained will also allow me to pass them on to my health-science students and amplify their impact inside and outside the classroom.”

“I recommend your services for your expertise in communication and presentations. What I highlight most is how you reaffirm and validate what you hear. You say something like "I understand this, but correct me if I'm wrong," which is very useful. You can work with someone in a pharma session and then with a retail client, adapting different styles that you have perfected. You don't just listen about pharma, but you help form leaders with clear and specific communication. This not only changes perceptions, but it really makes an impact. I felt that your intention was to change minds, not just present numbers, since those don't change. But with your presentation, you help the team grasp the message.”

“Excellent, exactly the knowledge I was looking for. Excellent, at this moment I am working on a digital innovation project in the company and this topic and all related ones fit me super well. I was delighted with the class.”

“It is a puzzle method, in which the parts of the methodology are literally being assembled, seeing the result that transcends in communicating an idea in a more appropriate way. In the end you see a much more communicative result.”

“This activity helped me realize how closely leadership models and team motivation are connected. I understood that the way I communicate has a direct influence on the team’s level of commitment—both in professional and personal settings. At work, I will apply these insights to better engage my team around shared goals and create a stronger sense of accountability. Personally, I also see the value in encouraging responsibility within the family, as it is the foundation of society. I especially appreciated the moderator’s skill in keeping our attention and bridging theory with real-life examples—even more impressive given the online format.”

“What interested me most about this activity were the concrete strategies and tools to develop yourself as a leader. Seeing that leadership is not an innate quality but a skill that can be built with intention and preparation seemed motivating and applicable to my current context. In my case, I work in a small team and I am the person with the most seniority. I have the desire to grow professionally and become the team manager, so the learning was directly applicable to me. They gave me clarity on how to start assuming that role from where I am, using practical tools that I can implement immediately. During the training, I made a conscious effort to develop active listening. Although it is difficult to completely disconnect from work, I set out to put everything aside and really focus on the content. I believe that made the difference in internalizing what I learned. The greatest value I take away is the idea that we can all be great leaders, as long as we know and know how to use the right tools. I leave with more confidence in my ability to lead, and with a clearer map on how to do it well.”

“Participating in this activity allowed me to see the power of Storyleading from a fresher and more strategic perspective. I learned to define my story from different angles, which will help me break routines and better align my messaging. I realized that we often assume there is only one “flat” way to tell stories, when in fact there are multiple paths to connect with people. This approach opened my eyes to new opportunities—especially now, when innovating in how we communicate professionally has become essential.”

“I loved every concept shared during the activity, especially the thought-provoking phrases about defining a life vision and connecting with our purpose. They made me reflect on the power of our words to empower and inspire action. Even though I don't manage a team, I work with people from many different areas, and this experience reaffirmed the importance of recognizing their contributions and helping them see how their work impacts the entire organization. What I take with me is the drive to do things with intention—not just for the sake of action, but with meaning—knowing that if we want to be part of real change, we must apply pressure with awareness and purpose.”

“I say this from personal experience, not only as a participant, but applying it afterwards with a tough group, in a real moment. It was truly wonderful and even from that presentation many more offers came in an impressive way. I highly recommend it, it can be a bit difficult at first but the reality is that the results in the end are spectacular.”

“It helped me a lot to make presentations because we are thinking differently about how to interact with the audience. I consider that how you have conducted the course is perfect. It is quite interesting, it is a different way of structuring a presentation and it makes it easier for us to do it. Excellent option to improve.”

“This activity gave me the opportunity to learn new concepts that are highly useful for my work. What I value most is how clearly everything was explained, making it easy for me to apply these ideas directly to my professional day-to-day. Being able to fully implement what I learned is what truly makes the difference in helping me grow in my role.”

“Participating in this activity helped me realize the powerful influence stories can have on people. Gaining this new perspective has given me a valuable tool that I can apply both in my daily work with colleagues and in interactions with students. What I appreciate most is how the concepts explored enable the creation of meaningful and lasting relationships. This experience encourages me to move from reflection to action, applying what I’ve learned in my professional routine.”

“I had already taken a course with Gerardo. I love his methodology, and besides, he is always giving you formats that lead you, step by step, to achieve the objective. The objective arrives on its own if you follow all the steps. So, at no moment have I felt overwhelmed. The online course seems incredible to me because I can watch the videos whenever I want, at the moment I want. Yes, I have had to discipline myself to give it space, but really as I go filling out all the formats, it clarifies my ideas, my messages. I highly recommend it, I love Gerardo's way of working. He is a very assertive person, he is a very structured person and I also love, truthfully, the personalized advisory part. Being an online course, he does not stop being available in his individual sessions. His team is always in contact. This also seems incredible to me, which not all online courses always have. Go for it, I can assure you that the formats and methodologies he uses can help you a lot, in all your projects, your companies, your businesses.”

“You allowed me to understand that there is always opportunity for change. For me the most important thing is that we benefit someone and that benefit reaches the patients, breaking with the way I was doing things by using this methodology. I had never had a methodology and it is the greatest gift I am taking with me. Since we started with the coaching, I have been making presentations in which I have incorporated this methodology and it is working better for me than the one I was using until 6 months ago. I feel very happy to have had this opportunity. I will definitely recommend it.”

“My expectations were met because they indeed taught me, complemented, or reminded me of practical and fundamental aspects for making powerful presentations. It is a well-structured program and easy to understand, combined with how well it is tied to the objectives of presentations. It can be a very useful tool for improving professional aspects.”

“Many times when you work with the public, you believe you are doing the best you can and sometimes situations can arise where you feel you did well and other times not so much. Now I have it clear at a conceptual level, I think I now have more tools to try to make much more effective presentations that engage the public. For me it has been a wonderful experience. I arrived with a little bit of fear and resistance because I didn't know what to expect, but I found myself with a toolbox that I am using even in my daily life when I work with other people. For me it is completely recommendable, I am grateful.”

Dr. Rommel Augusto Andrade Carrillo

“For me it has been a turning point, a before and after, knowing that before the presentations I gave made no sense compared to what there is now. I have been able to implement it even in my practice in techniques with certain patients, or even I have a YouTube channel, I have implemented it in my YouTube channel. It has been a very good experience for me because I have been able to implement it even in my practice. For me it has been a very good experience and I do recommend it.”

Enrique Ibarra

“Taking the course allowed me to grow and learn to share knowledge and information with the purpose of changing ideas based on values. It made me try to be more empathetic with the needs of my audience, and be more focused on real needs through assertive and empathetic communication. I'm going to tell you, it was a Monday, I was invited to give a talk about a drug they have and the manager is, is a doctor. She is also my friend since we were in high school. And it was very ah demonstrative because there were two of us, we are both cardiologists, we are both graduates from the same hospital. We are the same generation, but he had not taken the course and I had. So, objectively my talk was much more attractive to the general practitioners because they were general practitioners, they are MSLs than my friend's, and I remembered you a lot because they took us to the roof garden of the hotel. So you couldn't see anything. So we had to make a presentation a bit less dependent on the slides, so then, he asked me hey, I've known you since high school, we even lived together for a while during internship, what a good presentation. How did you do it? Well, I took a course.”

“Totally recommendable! Not only does it make you reflect on the best strategy to promote your product or service, it makes you question the root of it and the true differentiator. It is an excellent guide as a professional, entrepreneur and even an established businessman. It is one of those sessions that left me with more questions than answers but they are the questions that will lead me to approach true success.”

Liliana Becerril Ovalle

“I recommend this program because it opens the doors to communicating not only in the typical way, with typical people, that is to say with specialists. But rather this method can be used with the general public, so they understand what you are saying. It makes what we do more universal, it being our obligation to transmit what we do to those who don't know it.”

“Regina is a person who inspires you, focuses you and takes you step by step in the management of soft skills as a manager. Excellent presentation. You will have the opportunity to visualize the way you are doing things and what are the areas you need to improve to achieve all your objectives and organizational growth through your teams. My expectations were met and went beyond. We learned good omnichannel management, as well as the empathy that provides us with a better understanding of the sector's needs.”

“The speaker's approach is very interesting in being able to explain to a healthcare professional the importance of storytelling, of creating a connection with the audience, instead of just showing a PowerPoint with data.”

“I already knew how to present, but in the course I learned to do it in a way that takes me out of my comfort zone. Yes, you learn a new way of doing presentations, and they will always be interesting. I feel that it will serve me well for my professional career. This program challenges you. Many people do not commit to the philosophy of Medicine. This course is very epistemological. Yes, it takes you out of the pragmatism of Science, out of hard data. You learn that you must also interpret them epistemologically. If you are one of those people who do not feel prepared to make a presentation, you could start with this program.”

“Testimonio en Inglés Participating in the masterclass enabled me to significantly enhance my communication skills. Recently, I successfully applied the concepts learned during a key meeting with colleagues regarding the redesign of our medical curriculum. By aligning my message to the group's emotional and motivational state, I effectively elevated the conversation from a mindset of mere survival to proactive engagement and enthusiasm. This experience profoundly reinforced my understanding that there's no single method to convey a message effectively; rather, it's about identifying and honing our personal strengths. Inspired by these outcomes, I enrolled in the full Rockstars del Storytelling program, recognizing that mastering effective communication is essential for continued leadership success.”

“I had taken several courses but I had not received information so specific, so concrete, so digestible and so thorough in time. I loved seeing throughout this coaching each one of the points of the group transfer. I feel very satisfied. It has given me more ease, more confidence, I have greatly improved the design of my presentations, compared to a year ago. My ability to develop my materials and be more concrete improved a lot. Without a doubt I recommend this course.”

“Participating in this experience allowed me to deeply understand the power of "the story of what’s important." This concept had a strong impact on me because it taught me that sharing our experiences not only inspires but also guides our team members, creating a meaningful impact on those who follow us. I take away the conviction that the lessons learned here can be applied at every stage of our professional lives: from survival moments to the most demanding leadership challenges. I realized that a conscious leader can naturally navigate and master various levels of difficulty. If I had to pass on a learning to a colleague, I would definitely choose this one: what matters to you should be reflected in your work and in the story you share with your team. This experience strengthened my previous knowledge in communication and leadership, showing me that the way we tell and live our stories can be a powerful tool to inspire, argue, and leave a lasting mark on those who come after us.”

“Participating in this activity was a truly enriching experience. One of the concepts that impacted me the most was learning about the different types of narratives used by leaders and how these stories influence the formation and motivation of their “tribe.” This understanding is highly applicable to my work as Director of an academic, outreach, and research center, as it allows me to improve both my communication and leadership in projects and teams. Throughout the activity, I consciously practiced active listening, also participating via the chat, which strengthened my learning. The greatest value I found was the opportunity to critically review our practices, speeches, and actions, opening the door to reconsidering and proposing improvements aligned with the new knowledge.”

“This is a method that, precisely in Public Policy, can have great reach. Because it takes you to a moment where you can empathize with the right people to make a change. Through this method, many things can be achieved because you can help people who make decisions in Public Health understand a problem and ultimately benefit the patients. It is definitely a brilliant method.”

“The event and its content were very complete. The Doctors gave me feedback that in addition to the medical content, the training for giving presentations and talks was useful and pleasing to them. The instructors were very prepared and engaging. Excellent and enriching in knowledge.”

“They don't have to think about it anymore, it's definitely going to give you very valuable tools that are going to give you much more confidence when making your presentations and they're going to look much better, definitely.”

“I really like it, before we saw each other in the offset and the sessions I had taken a masterclass with you on Amazing Presentations that seemed great to me because every day we are immersed in a need to convince. To be able to communicate better and influence better, having this structure and this manual allows you to develop this skill. For me it has been very enriching because this stays with you forever, and it is easy to identify it. Reviewing my presentations from last year to those of this year there is a drastic change. For me it has been very enriching.”

Liliana García

“A learning activity and personal and collective well-being on leadership and motivation. Which is an opportunity to develop the skills and competencies necessary to lead work teams, projects or initiatives with effectiveness and responsibility.”

“I believe that in many professions, including Medicine, there are very capable people to practice, but very bad at transmitting it and sharing that with other people. That does not allow us as professional human beings to go a little further and connect. It is something so basic that we should all know. It is never too late to learn. The method is flexible. Working with the team, with Gerardo in particular, is something that has been very good for me, it is a totally different vision from conventional presentations but it makes so much sense when you listen to it. To be good communicators without ceasing to be good professionals. I recommend it with all sincerity. I think we should all learn this method as part of our teaching tools because it is useful, not just for Medicine, but for any profession. This experience helped me improve my way of giving medical presentations. It is something that is tangible because I have already had other forums and I realized how people, who also know me and have seen me speak in other presentations, were really impacted and congratulated me. I really liked that, it made me feel very good, because I had always considered myself a good speaker, it is not like I started from zero. So, when other people I respect from medical forums approached me and congratulated me because they told me that my presentation had really been very good, it made me realize that the method is very good and that we can always do things better.”

“It is a very valuable activity that really allows you to question whether the way you are communicating is the best, and it allows you to simplify the communication of a message and be able to impact with that message. It has improved precisely through storytelling. When I started the course I had no presentations coming up and now I have several, and I have seen that sharing a story really changes things. They receive the message more easily, and this is the turning point of everything. The difference is very noticeable.”

“This program completely transformed the way I approach both teaching and public speaking. I learned the value of structuring each presentation as a story—something I had never been taught before and found truly eye-opening. As a teacher and a speaker at Columbia, I deeply appreciated the practical tips on how to capture and sustain the audience’s attention throughout a talk. Public speaking is not just about sharing knowledge; it’s an art. And in this program, I learned to enjoy it and to lead with confidence on stage.”

Dr. Carlos Ranulfo García Román

“I definitely recommend it. It gives very appropriate guidance on the steps you have to follow to make a presentation in an organized way. It is easier to capture the audience's attention with this method. It breaks the barrier of always making slides the same way, it makes it more dynamic. It does generate a change. I consider the method to be very good and in fact I have already been implementing it in my presentations.”

“This methodology changed the landscape I knew when making presentations. In general, the structure of the methodology was very useful to me, it gave me the openness to make a presentation in an easier way.”

“The session was very interesting. The speaker provided me with excellent quality material with information and very practical examples for everyday life. I am satisfied with the content I have received and I already want to learn much more about the topic.”

Elizabeth Arroyo

“It simply opens your eyes. It's as if someone else, in this case you, had helped me see from above. I was in the middle of a maze, believing I was doing well. But with the tips you gave me to polish the structure, the route, the message and the story of change, that helped me a lot. Having a clear identity that we must convey and maintain constant over time was also very useful. Besides, the tips like the use of the camera and backgrounds were really powerful and generated a compound interest that added a lot of value. I really liked it because in the end it's about my brand. I believe greatly in the power of words. In the end we all sell something, and through stories, by making people visualize your presentation in a friendlier way, this makes it easier for them to pay more attention and you can sell your idea, achieving what you want. It impacts my personal life. Maybe I don't make presentations to my wife or my daughters, but I can tell them a story. And I'm taking that from here too. I was waiting for a sign to decide whether to hire or not, and I want to be that sign for them. It's really going to produce a lot for the company, first by helping the group of people who will receive this gift, and then they will be able to pass it on to more people, feeling part of the company. It's a gift for them that will ultimately produce for the company. If you invest in your employees, they will repay you in revenue. We all have to present at some point: to suppliers, internal clients or superiors. Being able to do it in a clearer and more pleasant way, as is done after receiving these tools, generates greater confidence and is appreciated by whoever receives the presentation. In a culture of many meetings, having someone who presents in a clearer way is a win-win: for you, for whoever receives the presentation and for the company.”

“This activity helped me strengthen one of the most important pillars of my professional practice: teamwork. In my daily roles as a teacher and part of clinical teams, it is essential to actively participate and provide a sense of security to everyone involved in the process. The concepts discussed were not only relevant to teaching, but also to research, surgical practice, and client interactions showing their value across all areas of my work. I also found great value in empathy and the power of sharing real-life knowledge, both of which enrich any professional environment.”

“One of the most valuable takeaways for me was learning how to transform hard data into stories that truly resonate with the audience. This approach is especially useful in crafting presentations for senior management, where clarity and impact are critical. The activity helped me frame my presentations as conversations, allowing for a stronger connection with the audience and making my message more effective.”

“Excellent! Everything was fabulous, especially the levels of thought, speech, and leadership. I found these concepts particularly useful for working with my medical team and my patients. This activity gave me a unique, disruptive, and innovative vision and strategy. I’m very interested in continuing to develop these topics around communication and leadership—and there’s no better guide than Gerardo, who is truly outstanding.”

“What impacted me most about this masterclass was the Storyleading approach: it is not just about telling a story, but about leading through it, generating a real emotional connection with the audience and guiding them toward a concrete action or perspective. This approach seemed powerful to me, especially when combined with two key elements: communication with charisma, to capture and sustain the audience's attention, and the integration of Flare and Spark, which add creativity, spark and identity to each message. From my role in Marketing Direction and Anthropomarketing, I found multiple ways to apply these concepts. On one hand, in the development of brand narratives that resonate with consumers' values and emotions. On the other, in training teams to communicate with greater charisma and empathy. Additionally, the incorporation of Flare and Spark inspires me to design more creative campaigns that stand out in a saturated environment and that truly connect with the audience from a more human place. Throughout the entire session I developed active listening. Gerardo Betancourt's clarity in presenting the concepts, as well as the practical activities and interaction with other participants, made it easier for me to stay focused, grasp the details, and apply the knowledge in a concrete way. This way of learning helped me better internalize the techniques seen. The greatest value I take from this experience is precisely that fusion between narrative and anthropology applied to marketing. Understanding how to lead with stories, and doing it in a charismatic and creative way, opens new possibilities for connecting with people genuinely. It is not just an improvement in communication skills, but a transformation in the way of generating impact with meaning.”

“As an expert/speaker/coach/academic/opinion leader, it is essential that you have business training, through the mentorship and expertise of someone who already has the results that you want to have. I know that mentor and I have implemented his method and strategies. Gerardo Betancourt is the mentor you need to have not only a satisfying career, but a successful one.”

“It is very good to have a method that is already previously clarified, worked out, that allows you to simply adapt it to the rhetoric that you want. It is not something random, it is not to plant yourself on a stage and speak however you feel like. I liked the 1 on 1 sessions because Gerardo drops more pearls of wisdom. What good vibes, the course is super cool. I have also been integrating it as a form of professional practice in my classes. You activate different parts in your audience such as the emotional one with empathy and inspiration. This method has a technical and intelligent part that also seems very good to me. You can take the whole piece of cake of patient attention.”

“I would recommend that you take this course because it really is a practical, simple way to communicate effectively with anyone. Whether it's with your boss, colleagues, clients, suppliers, and really generate a positive impact in this communication. I am convinced that this methodology helped me have more clarity about how I want to communicate, how I want to express myself and have people understand me.”

“They exceeded my expectations, it seemed extremely educational and applicable to me, as well as interesting. Concrete, simple, practical, for me the most important thing is that it can be applied and it seemed to me that I can use everything we learned. I was left wanting to know more. Super good, I couldn't stop paying attention. It is an excellent course to learn how to tell a story and be able to make any talk you need to give entertaining, as well as capture the attention of others from the start.”

“It makes you go much better prepared and much better equipped to give any presentation, to understand very well how to direct it, how to conduct it, and how to have control of them to achieve the objective you are looking for. I think that is crucial and I think that is how I feel today, after having had this experience with you.”

“My expectations were to have tips to be more effective in presentations and they were met because the information they shared with us is applicable to our dynamics. The instructor masters the subject and is very active. The workshop will give you tips to be more effective in your communication.”

“It is very interesting, it has very useful techniques that can be applied to any type of presentation, and even to a 1:1 conversation. The instructor was clear, kept my attention throughout the course (which was exhaustive), felt dynamic and I think it was worth investing my time in this. To those who are thinking about experiencing this, I would say it is the course you need to take your presentations to the next level. It seemed to me a super dynamic and useful session.”

“The method for creating Amazing Presentations will help me transmit my small and large learnings in a clear, structured, and striking way, thus enhancing the impact caused on the audience. It is an excellent tool to influence positively and effectively in my work or personal environment.”

“Last November 30th I gave a conference in the city of Monterrey. With the title "The 8 Seeds of Female Personal Power," I put into practice everything I have learned in Amazing Presentations!!! Thank you Gerardo Betancourt for the guidance!!!”

“It reveals skills of mine such as my intellectual capacity, oral and body expression, composure or fear management, active listening, among others. Second, it allows me to explain my ideas, my point of view, represent my group or team's position on a problem. Third, it allows me to meet new people, both in the audience, who can be potential clients and/or allies, as well as behind the scenes, potential suppliers and colleagues. Furthermore, speaking in public is a public relations tool since you make yourself known without paying. It works both on a stage and through a media outlet.”

“What is different about Gerardo and his team is that they really know everyone behind it all. I wanted a strategic mind that would tell me where to take my business in the coming years, a clear vision of how to scale this and how to get results. He really helps you ground your ideas. Being with Gerardo generates a business system that makes you grow. He has a systems vision, long-term, and the strategies I've developed with Gerardo are specific to me. For me it has been a transcendental point in my business.”

“I recommend it without any hesitation. It is a serious process, a well-structured course where you can learn many things that you don't learn online. Definitely, the matter of having a mentor is supremely important, because in this way you don't make common mistakes, by listening to yourself.”

“It helped me a lot in terms of removing uncertainty about what the attention triggers are or what steps exist to tell a story and change people's mindset. Definitely, I consider that this work with the methodology helped me a lot to present better.”

Ricardo Zamora

“I see that all of us doctors internationally have presented empirically. Each one makes their slides and we are used to getting dizzy with the graphics. But when you see this new way of presenting, you feel it much more personalized. Working on the slides was the most challenging for me, but the method is really good. I feel that the fact of making this type of presentations is going to motivate us more for change in treatments. It's not about convincing or getting to prove that I know more than you, that what I say is law, it's about motivating them. That's what I learned here.”

“Very important, and although it was difficult for me, I managed to correctly structure the way to deliver a message, unlike how it was done in the 90s, in the 80s… I liked that. I now have a fixed structure for delivering a message.”

“I found all the concepts very interesting and applicable. The greatest value of the activity was the clear approach to topics that often arise but are not always properly addressed. I see a direct application in my area of influence, especially in marketing.”

“Gerardo Betancourt is a very punctual person, he has great leadership and literally guides you by the hand throughout the course. The workshop is very personalized, he took the time to help the participants with each of their stories and projects.”

“Do you want to be a good speaker, know how to communicate and have people follow you? Look for Gerardo, you are going to learn a lot about the way of giving presentations, the courses he gives are understood perfectly. Yes, it will require effort from you but like everything that is worthwhile, do you want to learn? Train yourself first! and with Gerardo you are going to have an excellent coach, who will prevent you from making common mistakes when you start.”

“It seems excellent to me, of very high quality and above all that it is oriented specifically for this field; in which we are venturing, to make a living, yes, but in its core, it is like a lifestyle, through the very path traveled. Commendable work being a Coach of Coaches. Gerardo, congratulations on your work in clearing the path for us so that knowledge that brings transformation may flow. Our success will be your own success.”

“Gerardo Betancourt has great charisma and mastery of the subject of coaching and communication. He immediately establishes rapport with the person. He is very assertive, creative and helpful. With the objective you really discover who you are and where it can take you.”

“Order and vision, this is the first time I am enrolled in a non-in-person program, for me interpersonal interaction is very important, in fact I love it, however I really like being on the computer and I consider myself good at it, so this excites me and this last aspect is for me a good result.”

“Indeed you learn to make amazing presentations. You understand the process, the mechanism, the structure and I think that is what is valuable. It is very important to learn this structure because it applies to all topics.”

“This is a very valuable opportunity, since it is a whole process in which they teach us to improve our communication capacity and to transmit the message in a more organized and orderly way. Not only from the scientific point of view and with medical technicalities, but with the intention of transmitting the message and achieving the objective of generating a change in the audience. It was definitely very helpful, from very simple aspects like the presentation of slides, body expression, camera framing, and non-verbal communication. Above all, we learned to organize the information without saturating the audience either visually or auditorily, thus managing to transmit the message better. Thank you very much for your time and guidance. It has been very beneficial since the course we took in Cuernavaca, but this part was even more personalized. I am at your disposal for whatever you need.”

“I take away two main concepts: assertiveness and empathy. I see them as aspects that it is worthwhile to continue working on because they impact directly on communication with the team and on the way agreements, disagreements, and expectations are managed. They are applicable at all times. Effective communication improves personal relationships both with external clients and with internal clients, because it reduces misunderstandings and allows for clearer conversation about needs, limits, and priorities. During the activity I did maintain active attention. There were topics I did not know and they served me to expand my framework; in other cases, it was useful to reinforce concepts that”

“In both the personal and work environment, without a doubt, having and telling a good story that speaks of a success, a result, and/or a learning that stays in the memory of the organization and of someone, and that adds to comprehensive efforts, in my case of the organization that provides health and wellness to a patient, is a practice of great value. I relate it to very concrete challenges: clearer communication and messages, more emphatic, more timely, that avoid ambiguity or doubt. In my area, which is purely technical, many times I rely on the fact that the technical element speaks for itself, but I am aware that what matters is anticipating a message, the words that are used, the actions that are agreed upon, the keys for making decisions and risk management. If I had to explain a concept to a colleague, I would choose "eye contact," because I have seen that it makes a difference in a meeting. It allows for empathy and modulation, and in difficult situations it reduces stress, you manage emotion better and it allows you to recognize things that perhaps you didn't see before or weren't aware of. I also take with me an experience that helps me: having and maintaining a positive mindset that allows me to create, solve and anticipate, and that helps me avoid predisposition toward achievement, visibility, challenge and difficult conversation, in order to reach effective problem resolution and the expected result, and even exceed it.”

“Thanks to everything I learned with them I was selected as a TEDx Speaker. I had the help of both María and Gerardo in a PERSONALIZED way in the process of creating the conference and I continue learning a lot from them. If you want to choose something that is worthwhile for you, the best there is on the market, do not hesitate: Amazing Presentations.”

“Gerardo Betancourt has a very clarifying style of explanation, with examples and above all, with a message structure that is very easy to follow and understand. I have participated in many public speaking and presentation courses and the approach of this one is what I consider the clearest and most effective, especially nowadays when capturing the attention of audiences is so challenging. Gerardo is an inspiring mentor, who invites you to action and generously shares his knowledge. The live sessions with small groups are excellent.”

“Gerardo is a very inspiring professional, intelligent, skilled, passionate about what he does, and a spectacular mentor in the area of communications. This is a practical program that can start being applied from the very first moment.”

“Gerardo has the experience to take you from the point where you are to the point where you want to be, to break with beliefs, to be aware that your knowledge has value in the market and that out there there is a community that is waiting for your message and willing to pay for it, and that being a speaker is taking on the leadership of your life and your calling to inspire people to transform the world with your vision.”

“Gerardo is a great person. There should be many like him and surely the world would be different. I love his videos because I learn something very new from each one of them. I wish the universe continues to give him wisdom so that he can share it with us.”

“I have learned to communicate more fluently and connect with the audience using different communication strategies I acquired in the course. These techniques have helped me convey key messages more efficiently. For instance, in one of my talks with professionals from other specialties—I, as a nephrologist, was giving a session to gynecologists—I asked myself, based on what I learned in the course, what common ground connects our two specialties. From there, I decided to build a story that would resonate with both of us, focusing on patients with chronic kidney disease during pregnancy. This allowed me to lower the audience’s guard and create a space where I could effectively deliver the key message: the importance of early identification of kidney disease in pregnant women, due to maternal, fetal, and long-term nephrological complications. I believe that without what I had learned beforehand, it would have been more difficult to make an impact with this audience. At the end of my presentations, I feel I’ve inspired other colleagues. Some doctors have told me that my sessions motivated them to apply the knowledge in their daily practice. This has helped me stay closer to my audience. This is a course that is truly worth it. In our medical training, we usually learn to give presentations through trial and error, following our mentors' examples but without a clear structure. This course gives us the tools to communicate more clearly and effectively.”

“Gerardo is a great person, there should be many like him and surely the world would be different. I love his videos because I learn something new from each one of them. I wish the universe continues to give him wisdom so that he can share it with us.”

“He has a clear direction, he is enthusiastic like many coaches, but he particularly is honest, he tells you the pros and cons and how to deal with it, his talks are truly unmissable and being on his mailing list is essential.”

“If you have the opportunity to take this course, please do it, it's completely worth it! You are going to learn things that, I promise you, you hadn't heard before and if you had, you're going to reinforce them. What I love about this course is that the technique is direct, clear, and concise and the truth is that not everyone tells you what you're doing wrong, and I feel that's what we're missing: for someone to tell us what we're doing wrong, where we're not doing things well, and how you're going to improve; and you have this in this course. So, super recommended, of course!”

“If you need a mentor who can accompany you in the process of becoming a great speaker, you need someone who has already achieved it, and that person is Gerardo Betancourt. He is the best in his field for his authority and performance on stage and he implements that same thing in his programs.”

“The concept that interested me most was storytelling, because it will help me a lot to show the TH the importance of maintaining their TJ and, above all, why the investment they make is worthwhile. I believe I can apply it in many areas. Personally, in my relationship with my family, when they ask for advice: telling a story that I have lived and the learning it left me can help me understand how they feel and have a better conversation. At work, I would apply it in the same way with the TJ, to help maintain their TJ. Yes, I believe that throughout the activity I developed active listening. While I listened to the situation, I would recall if I had gone through something similar so I could link it to the benefit that has worked for me. The greatest value I found in this activity was identifying another way to have a conversation with the TH, so that they see the benefits of their TJ. Also identifying the words I should use to find the underlying reason.”

“When I started my presentation, I noticed that people were distracted. As I moved forward with the introduction and the amazing story, I noticed how people paid more attention to what I was presenting. At the end of the presentation, I had interaction with three people who spoke to me about the topic and recognized the work I do, which is sometimes not easy to understand. The change I saw is that the technique helps capture people's attention. I believe that, at least from what I presented, they retained more than two ideas and understood the context. It also helped me understand the importance of interacting in a different way, and some people recognized my presentation, that was the result I saw. In general, it has helped me think about the type of audience, what materials I should prepare so that my presentation truly fulfills its objective. It has made me more aware of my surroundings and how I should address my audience. If I had to show evidence, I would say that the cross-functional team better understands the work I do and how they contribute to achieving the result, because I encouraged them to make a commitment and collaborate to reach the same goal.”

“Its structure is very coherent, it is made by experts and I recognize the dedication and passion with which they do it. I really loved it and I can recommend it 200%. They really care that we learn and it gives me a lot of confidence that Gerardo Betancourt and Maria del Mar lead me by the hand to find the path to my objectives.”

“It is an excellent program to guide you. It opens your vision of what is possible in the Spanish-speaking world and gives you tools to grow as a professional in the world of coaching, speaking, in any area. It takes you by the hand step by step in what you must do to build yourself a niche of opportunity.”

“During the program process, I generated a high-value client ($3,500.00 USD) through the strategies that are integrated in the program and I feel very happy about it. I thank Gerardo Betancourt for his guidance and support to move forward in this way.”

“I have liked the way they teach us and the progress I have made, the practice sessions are very interesting, and although I still don't dare to do one, I have learned a lot. Also, if something is not clear to me I can go back and watch the information again.”

“Having taken this course, how did it help me? In being clear, precise, in losing the fear of speaking, in losing the fear of presenting my ideas with clarity and precision. I feel very pleased at this moment to recommend it fully. (Gerardo) is a very clear person, very precise in his concepts, in his teachings and in his observations. He is demanding, and I think that's good; and for that reason I recommend him fully. I am pleased to be here, recommending him with all my affection.”

“What I take away the most are the 6 points that make a presentation amazing. I can apply it when making presentations. Yes, although at times seeing so many videos made it harder to maintain attention. I take away the 6 questions for making a presentation with impact.”

“At the company where I work, we have recently received courses and certifications regarding Storytelling. This seminar helped me refine how to make that story a decisive factor in my presentations as a Medical Representative.”

“In general, all the concepts we saw in the course were useful to me. For me it was a complete update of the way to present: it helped me improve and put into practice new techniques that raise the quality of my presentations, both in content and in how I convey it. I see a direct application in my presentations and in my classes with students, but also in my daily consultations with my patients. In all three contexts you need to organize ideas, sustain attention, and communicate with clarity, and several of the tools from the course translate into concrete adjustments that are noticed immediately. Something that became clear to me is that it's not enough to listen to the concepts: it's essential to analyze them one by one to be able to put them into practice. Many of the tools are very actionable "tips" that facilitate the process and open up options for you to make a better-constructed and more creative presentation. The greatest value for me was realizing that you can always learn something new and that there's always room for improvement. It taught me to be more creative and to understand that there is no single "correct" way to present; you can find alternatives depending on the audience, the objective, and the moment, and thus achieve a better experience in each presentation.”

“My experience with Gerardo Betancourt and his team was more than memorable. His enormous capacity for organization, his great efficiency, professionalism and precise order to bring together every moment and turn it into something wonderful, but above all his gift for making each conference an invaluable human experience for speakers and audience, make it retrospectively for me like one of the most memorable experiences in my life.”

“I have been able to live each of those learnings through the step by step that he gives, which despite being concrete and practical, are also very detailed. This has been very gratifying for me because it is not just theory, but we go to practice, applying it in real life. Something very important that I have taken from the courses with Gerardo is that everything we do is always thought about how we relate to and inspire other people. Each training we apply considering that those people have emotions, feelings and their own stories, and with our story we can impact them. These clear structures, step by step, are very applicable both to business and to real life.”

“Gerardo is a young man who, upon knowing your life project, perfectly presents to you what paths you can choose to reach your goal. He encourages you not to have limits for your objectives and speeds up your path. He will not make you waste time, but rather will manage to show you everything that you yourself cannot see and that will boost your work to 100%. I am sure that Gerardo will not give you wings, but will teach you to fly with the ones you already have.”

“The use of voice seemed very innovative and useful to me. It left me with a clearer idea of how the way you speak can sustain interest, organize the message, and convey confidence, even when the content is already well structured. I see it as especially applicable in presentations and continuing medical education courses, where you need to maintain attention and have key points understood with clarity. I also think it's a learning that applies in day-to-day life, in simple and everyday situations, like explaining a patient's condition to them: there the tone, rhythm, and intention with which you choose your words end up influencing comprehension and trust. From the day of the activity I started applying several concepts and trying to change old ideas I had. I'm left with the feeling that these are concrete adjustments that, with practice, can become a natural part of your communication.”

“If there is someone who can take you to ULTRA results, it is Gerardo Betancourt. If you want to have true influence and bring "your idea" down from the cloud, believe me that with the first 90 minutes applying Gerardo's methodology, you are going to be in the big leagues; doing what you do best, creating unparalleled relationships and building six-figure incomes. What more do you want? In a world of so much "hurrah, hurrah," motivation and coaches everywhere, I personally am very selective when I decide to learn from someone, because for me, coherence is EVERYTHING. Today, I can say that Gerardo is that and more. Thank you my good Gerry! For being: human, genuine, and having first-rate know-how, for those who want to shake off laziness and start materializing their legacy and results. You are great!”

“The part about how to capture your audience's attention from the beginning and the importance of robust storytelling is what stayed with me the most. These are things I already knew, but you realize that you do not put them into practice with all presentations, and that is where impact is lost from the start. I can apply it practically in all of them. I frequently give presentations to audiences of peers, superiors, reports and multidisciplinary teams, and also, in other positions in my career, to external audiences, so having a more consistent structure from the beginning helps me in all those scenarios. Yes, I found the information very interesting and the course very valuable, and that is why I found it easy to follow and to connect with what I already do day-to-day. I am taking away having this course as a foundation to improve my communication and presentation skills, and to put them into practice more consistently.”

“I want to highly recommend Leaderlix because even though I had a certain degree of experience, they gave me tools that helped me give structure to my presentations, some very interesting tips and the experience of people who have been at TED or at some other congresses, who have a lot more experience than me, synthesized in a very digestible way. I highly recommend this course.”

“Taking the different courses with Gerardo has helped me improve the way I communicate because I have learned to transmit my ideas in a clearer, more effective way, with greater impact. The techniques he teaches us are very easy to apply, but they generate great results in how we express ourselves and how we connect with others. Since I finished the courses, I have seen notable improvements in how I relate to my clients and in the results I get in my businesses.”

“Yesterday I had the opportunity to coordinate the first conference with my collaborative innovation community using the Amazing Presentations methodology and the result was tremendous. What a blessing all this learning is. You leave a legacy in your students that allows them to make valuable contributions through great ideas. Thank you for not pressuring and never letting go.”

“The most important and new concept for me was storytelling, because I didn't know it and it seems very important to me. I can apply it in my day to day, both in interactions with cardholders and in my social life, to have better communication and practice empathy. Yes, I consider that throughout the activity I developed active listening, precisely to be able to develop new skills or reinforce them. The greatest value I found in this activity was opening myself to new ways of working and, above all, learning new methods that can work to obtain better results.”

“Hello, I'm Osman Salih and I greet you from Munich, Germany. I want to recommend to you any course that Ger Betancourt is offering. I have worked with Gerardo and I can say that he has helped me a lot to communicate my message and to connect with my tribe, my people and my students. Gerardo has strengthened my knowledge and has given me the leadership skills necessary for the world of entrepreneurship, where I operate between Latin America and Turkey. I have been working with him for years and I am grateful to him for all the knowledge he has provided me in leadership and entrepreneurship, from how to implement effective practices to leading my own tribe and business. That's why I highly recommend him to you. Follow him, establish a close relationship with him and let yourself be guided by his method. In the end, you will see that it will be worth it.”

“The importance of capturing attention and communicating effectively is what stayed with me the most. I relate it directly to my challenges because, especially in the work environment, it is necessary to create impact by being persuasive, and that requires thinking more about how you are transmitting the message and not just about the content. If I had to explain a concept to a colleague, I would choose capturing attention, to interest the audience from the beginning and to be able to achieve the objective. I also take with me things that I hadn't analyzed as much, such as integrating the concept of empathy, for example, and having it more present in the way I present my messages.”

“The most interesting thing was studying your audience and the idea of "1 hour of preparation for 1 minute of presentation". I'm going to apply it when it's my turn to present at Mexico's townhalls. I'm taking away "change if you want to improve" and the effective affirmations. Also the impact of the beginning and winning over the audience.”

“I asked God in prayers and meditations to teach me the rules of the game about how money works. Suddenly, Gerardo Betancourt arrived with his experience and all those rules that I had not found anywhere nor in any advice. Without a doubt, I arrived at the right place.”

“I take away great learnings from the course. For me, some of the most relevant concepts are those related to creating amazing presentations that allow us to capture the attention of our audience. This course gave me structure to strategically plan the attention of our audience and how to achieve it systematically with ease. The learnings acquired during this course allow me to communicate more effectively and achieve results of changes that I hope can happen in the shortest time possible. The creation of alliances, through convincing teams or members of my family to commit to my causes, is fantastic. The structure that this training provides us, the practice, and Gerardo's guidance have been a great change. A topic that I found very interesting is the generation of winning formulas, and how to incorporate them into our presentations to improve our communication. The inclusion of affirmations allows us to give forcefulness and solidity to the beginning of our presentation, explore titles that allow us to have a journey toward deeper and more detailed analysis, always keeping in mind clarity to understand the topics and the impact they have on our objectives. Also, how to make personal testimonies that help us overcome challenges, imperatives that help us generate competitive advantages, lists that help us focus, and provoke and challenge our audience for the future, so that with these tools we are capable of impacting with our words and transforming our dialogues. Without a doubt, this course is a before and after in the way I plan my presentations, communication messages, and the action I am directing with my different audiences. I have had the opportunity, during my sessions with Gerardo, to challenge my status quo and manage to generate changes that I feel are visible in my environment. Thank you very much.”

“Thank you Gerardo for contributing so much! I am super motivated and focused with all the information you provide us, it is quality and above all understandable. You have the patience to attend to us and support us! If there were more stars to rate you, they would give them to you. I had never invested my money so well in training before.”

“Before I always felt that I was not enough to stand in front of an audience. Impostor syndrome accompanied me at every moment, and fear paralyzed me, completely affecting my confidence and leaving me with a dry mouth. Then I took this masterclass, and I wanted to come back to leave this comment because not only I, but also my colleagues noticed a very important difference. I learned that not only was it possible to manage that fear, but I could turn it into an ally. I realized that, with the right tactics, I had control of my emotions, and that there were practical strategies to transform stress into positive energy. Now, every time I have to speak in public, instead of allowing fear to control me, I use it as fuel to project more confidence and transmit my message with impact. And all in 2 hours, I can't believe it. This fear accompanied me my whole life and today it's no longer there. I left this masterclass feeling much more empowered, knowing that I have the necessary tools to communicate effectively, no matter the situation. Definitely, this course was a turning point for me. Thank you very much Gerardo, really.”

“Your activity as a teaching methodology, the way you do it in this program you have created is brilliantly wonderful, so easy to understand, to identify with each topic, with the exercises and examples. They guide every moment allowing you to understand much better and much more practically the message you transmit about Amazing Presentations.”

“The greatest value I found in this activity was the opportunity to stop and reflect deeply on my practice and my decisions, something that we often set aside due to routine. It allowed me to internalize key concepts and, above all, understand how to adapt them to my particular context, thus strengthening my commitment to personal and professional growth.”

“The promise, the first message I give in a presentation, is built by thinking about what motivates my audience. What I need is to capture their attention and get them interested in what I am going to say and present, and that is why it is a key concept for me. I relate it to my challenges because I can apply it in my presentations to make them more effective and so that people become interested in what I am going to say. For me, the point is to capture their attention from the start, from the moment I am going to present. If I had to explain it to a colleague, I would choose the promise and explain it as formulating my opening in a presentation, what factors I should consider, who I am addressing, what their interests are, and how I can start to address them with an interaction that hooks them from the beginning. This complements the communication I have in presentations with my cross-functional team. It has helped me think more about how to start presentations, to observe my audience, what brings them there with me, and how I can motivate them to become interested in listening and participating.”

“I found the way of bringing a dramatic sequence to presenting a topic especially valuable. I understood that when you order the content with that logic, the development becomes more understandable and more comprehensible for the audience, because each part prepares the next one and the message is not perceived as a list of loose points. I see it as very applicable in my role as a speaker at continuing medical education events. In that context, clarity doesn't depend only on what you know, but on how you make the audience follow the thread, maintain attention, and reach the conclusions with you. Yes, I consider it something you can apply immediately. In the end, what you take away is an improvement in your communication capacity and in the way of getting ideas across to the audience with more structure and more intention.”

“It seems phenomenal to me. The course feels like you are really with the coach full time, considering the new methodologies. It seems very good to me that we can have feedback at all times, apart from the fact that it is clear you master the subject very well. I think the humility with which you present yourself is important, because not many people like being able to pass on their knowledge.”

“It is a clear program, from someone who has already tested it, someone who has already done it and is teaching it. He is not one of those who read a book and made a course. Besides, I would say it is very well structured. Above all, I would say they have the passion to serve and provide support so that both can grow and be able to reach goals.”

“The demographic and psychographic profiles, in my case, are something very important to me because I interact with diverse areas and I always think about who my presentation is directed toward, and also about how I need to say things to achieve the objective of the presentation or of the learning. In my work it is useful for making effective presentations that really achieve my objective, and so that my audience feels committed and reaches the learning objectives that I am planning. During the course I tried to visualize, understand, and ground the concepts in the example that I worked on, and to keep them in mind when preparing a presentation. This helps me think about where I am, what I am looking for, and how I need to prepare myself to have the attention and commitment of my audience. I am left with thinking about how to transmit the knowledge that matters, that helps me obtain the learning of my audience, how I should prepare my presentation, and how to modify current behaviors and create new behaviors.”

“It is definitely worth taking the course. For us in the health field, presentation technique is not as developed in our training. This course not only changed my way of organizing myself mentally, but also of thinking about what the audience wants and how to achieve transmitting knowledge effectively. It definitely changed my way of presenting. Now, from the beginning, I know how to capture the audience's attention with a clear promise. Incorporating stories into presentations also places the audience on a homogeneous level. Furthermore, I learned to make cleaner and more organized presentations. The way to conclude was also a positive aspect that I learned. In summary, everything learned in this course is applicable to our presentations in medicine. Thank you for everything and congratulations on the course. Your ability to explain is excellent and I hope you continue forward because you are very good at it.”

“I suffered from horrible stage fright and thanks to the course I feel more confident, I have the steps for how to give a good presentation and without a doubt I am a before and after this. The program is very enriching, it not only nourishes you on the topic of presentations, but also on general culture.”

“I communicate the knowledge I have to others better, with this I generate trust and attraction about the topics as well as an incredible attitude from the people who listen to me. Also the messages I send are clearer and that causes the community to understand the information better without it being boring or monotonous.”

“If I can say something, what I have seen is a lot, is that in no other course had I heard them ask me: 'Who is your audience?' And that question did make a "crack" in my brain to make a big difference to see where everything started from.”

“I have managed to convey my ideas and in that way influence in different ways my students, subordinates, peers and bosses, clients. It has helped me have personal prestige and credibility in varied topics because of the clarity, coherence and passion with which I usually convey my ideas or approaches.”

“Yes, it was worth it for me to have been in the program, I like it, I want more! Yes, you are going to present differently, it is a fact, do not doubt it. You are not going to present the same way again! I personally dedicate myself to teaching and I think I am even going to listen better to my students' presentations.”

“The application of the learning I obtained during this course served me greatly to improve my presentations in multidisciplinary forums. Connecting with my audience from the first moment helped, without a doubt, to adapt my messages so that the presentations would have greater impact. Identifying the motivations that drive team members and focusing our efforts on obtaining tangible results helped me enormously. A specific example was a workshop with the Immunoglobulins area. During this workshop I had the opportunity to use all the tools learned during the storytelling course, with the objective of moving my audience to action. I managed to prepare all available resources to execute the strategies outlined during this session going forward. The positive impact has been that this methodology is effective and implementable for me in my personal and professional life. They have given me tools to improve my communication more effectively and achieve concrete objectives more quickly. If I had to present evidence of results, I would show the tangible outcomes of the workshop: we obtained insights from each of the health institutions, we will follow up for doctor mapping, patient census, and strengthening relationships with KDM. That follow-up will be recorded in a calendar with deliverables for each session and tracking files in SharePoint for its implementation.”

“It is an excellent program to set you on the right path. It opens your vision of what is possible in the Spanish-speaking world and gives you tools to grow as a professional. It guides you step by step in what you must do to build a niche of opportunity for yourself.”

“I greatly improved my planning, my studying, my focus, and my way of conveying my messages. I saw this reflected in my presentation of the State Coordinations project and in my presentation in plenary at the strategy meetings, where I was able to deliver the messages with more order and with a clearer focus. The impact has been significant in my work environment, in my presentations, and personally in my dialogue with my son, because it helped me communicate with more clarity and think better about what I want to achieve with each conversation. If I had to present evidence, I would show the information I used as a basis from the Official Gazette of the Federation, from the General Health Council website, and from the Health Secretary website.”

“It was really very challenging, it was really fascinating! And in the end I leave with so much learning. The course delivered, or I would even say, exceeded the expectations I had. So, if you are thinking about it, I give you testimony of my experience, of how it worked for me.”

“One of the concepts that truly resonated with me was the realization that what others dream of, we live every day. It made me reflect on the relationship I build with myself and how, by having a clear vision and purpose, I can strive to create a meaningful impact—starting with myself and leading by example. I also found great value in learning to communicate with clarity and alignment, choosing the right concept depending on the context, whether personal or professional. This activity helped me connect with the concepts through real examples, and reminded me that every powerful story needs a clear and coherent thread, whether it's about an adventure, something special, or a call for social change.”

“I take away the impact, using emotions, that the closing is key, and adapting your style by understanding the audience. I relate it to the need to refresh and change the way of presenting, being more innovative. We retain little and you have to retain the audience, and that is why it seemed very useful to me. It also helps that the course includes coaching sessions where you can practice real cases. If I had to explain a concept to a colleague, I would choose how to deliver a message of value in little time and with impact, because it is something that is needed in many presentations and conversations. In general, I take away a dynamic and fresh way of presenting and helping.”

“This activity gave me a deep understanding of how to generate influence, leadership, and build communication with a purpose, especially within the scientific community. I learned not only how to structure effective storytelling but also how to integrate the Eureka moment into my presentations to make them more impactful. I can apply these concepts in virtually every aspect of my professional life, from daily interactions with patients to the structuring and delivery of medical conferences. Throughout the activity, I developed active listening skills that helped me better narrate and describe, strengthening my communication abilities. The greatest value I found was recognizing that every presentation must work toward four clear goals: creating an experience, fostering learning, influencing behavior, and achieving concrete results.”

“One of the concepts that resonated most with me was identifying the tribe I am creating. It helped me see more clearly the type of team I want to build: one that is antifragile, open to change, and that revolves around the company's values. This idea made me question and reaffirm the direction in which I am leading. I do not limit the course learning to just one area. I feel that I can apply them in any environment where I am present: whether in meetings, change processes, or one-on-one conversations. For me, what is essential is knowing what role I should assume at each moment, telling my story effectively, and above all, maintaining genuine listening toward my team. Throughout the entire activity I was completely involved. I believe I developed active listening because each point addressed was key, relevant, and very well presented. The way the content was shared was excellent, truly a 10 out of 10. The most valuable thing I take away is the complete message about what the narrative of a good leader entails: how to inspire the team, recognize the different roles that each person can assume, and practice active listening as the foundation for achieving collective success.”

“The archetypes and the Trojan Horse technique were what impacted me the most. I can apply them in dialogues with health authorities and when presenting strategies to the commercial team, because they help me adjust the message according to the audience and present ideas in a way that is better received. When I ask myself if the course was easy to follow and if it really left me with something, the answer is yes, A LOT. The speaker was very clear and his information very digestible, and that made it easier to understand the concepts and think about how to put them into practice. Overall, it left me with A LOT OF VALUE: now it will be easier for me to communicate, and to do it in a clearer and more fluid way.”

“The most interesting part was learning to work with audience resistance to change through a story that allows you to connect empathetically, relying on the implicit tools of the archetype. That approach helps you better understand what is holding back the audience and how to lead them, step by step, to consider a different idea without feeling it as an imposition. A part that gave me a lot of guidance was the closing of the talk. I learned to end with messages that make clear what is expected of the audience to do afterward, seeking for the content to translate into concrete changes in daily practice and, ultimately, into the common good that our patients are. I can apply this knowledge in my professional life, both in medical consultation and in the talks and classes I teach at congresses and in the training of my residents. In fact, during the course I was working on it in parallel: in each session I imagined presentations I had already given and how I could improve my way of communicating. Since I also had talks scheduled while the course was developing, I tried to bring the theoretical concepts into practice in real time. That allowed me to start seeing changes more quickly in the audience: I noticed improvements in their attention and in the clarity of the message I wanted to convey. In summary, taking the course gave me guidance and clarity to communicate ideas in different scenarios and with different audiences, and with communication and storytelling tools to better identify the group you are facing and facilitate them to adopt an idea of change focused on the benefit of our patients.”

“I had the opportunity to apply the concepts I learned during several presentations in the company, particularly one in which I presented the profiles for Value Access Manager and Key Account Manager. There I was able to observe a great difference in the way I communicated my ideas and inspired those of us present in the meeting to take action. I found the concept of "overcoming our audience's resistance to change" super useful, because preparing a presentation that is amazing, interesting, and inspiring allows you to ensure that the audience has an open attitude toward new ideas. In that sense, storytelling techniques help tell the right story at the right time, so that attendees achieve greater connection and can receive ideas more easily and openly. To integrate what I learned, it has been helpful to have all the course concepts at hand, take advantage of every minute of the sessions with Gerardo, take notes on the things I need to improve and put them into practice. I also take away having clarity on the points of what makes a presentation amazing: amazing promise, archetypal story, paradigmatic idea, inflection point, leadership path, and Checkmate or inspiration. Always keeping these concepts in mind, bringing them down to my presentations and putting them into practice has made a great difference in the way I communicate and give my presentations, and I am extremely grateful for all the theoretical and practical knowledge I acquired during this course.”

“I am taking away the idea of thinking from the beginning to design a presentation with a clear objective, effective communication and contrast. Capturing attention with a story that provides messages and reflections, and inspiring, and generating messages with the purpose of creating openness. Also with practicing, practicing to create amazement, applicability and openness. In my work life it is 100% applicable. I manage high-impact projects in the company, with challenging strategies and seeking opportunities in innovation, and there designing the messages and effective communication from the birth of the project, and following the main milestones until its success, makes a difference. I work with multidisciplinary teams locally and internationally, as well as with the Health Authority in Mexico, and creating contrast for day-to-day is also important, especially when our deliverables are vital for business continuity. Another critical challenge is communication when the milestone or deliverable had learnings or did not reach the goal and there is a plan B until we achieve it: there is no opportunity to say "it was not achieved and that's it," it is to anticipate actions. On a personal level, it has helped me reflect that having timely and clear communication benefits in many ways. Regarding what I am taking away to work on, honestly I do have it more conscious and I am clear that I need to work on my listening and not interrupt. The greatest value this course gave me is to raise awareness of concepts that seem basic and that, if you do not practice them, you leave them forgotten. Creating a presentation that amazes is an enormous challenge, along with creating stories, and I liked exercising it with simple and real cases. I know I have a lot of opportunity to grow it much more, and I am taking away the commitment to have my notes by my side and practice it even for day-to-day meetings.”

“It has helped me. First, to provide me with a degree of security when communicating more directly with the public, allowing me to overcome my fears, which there will always be, and second, to address the audience with greater propriety.”

“Confidence in myself, ideas about how to achieve excellence as a speaker and inspire others to also take the program and be coached. Within a month I will give a conference for admission to the Mexican Academy of Law on Social Security, with which I feel capable of creating a solid argument and above all with the confidence of being able to transmit my message with clarity and power.”

“As a health professional, part of our work is to inform and motivate patients and the general public in different ways, so presenting in public has been essential to be successful during academic training, as well as in professional work.”

“"Before taking this program, I had the knowledge but didn't know how to structure it to launch my business. Thanks to the tools and strategies I learned, and also to the positioning of the Leaderlix brand, I went from having no clients to generating more than $5,000 dollars monthly in the first year. Now, I not only live from what I love, but I also help others communicate with impact and that fills me so much!! ETERNALLY Grateful."”

“Learning never ends. I would like to continue with them (Leaderlix). The content is very interesting. You can also sell with good stories. The instructor was excellent. It was very didactic and practical.”

“The trainings with Gerardo Betancourt have been of great value to my life. The coaching, the mentorships, have helped me be a much more visionary leader, much more strategic, more focused on results. They have opened a different and much broader perspective for me, in what is the profession of being a speaker. Without a doubt, I recommend this type of training to you, that you invest in yourself, in your future, in your career, in your dream. If you have this passion, if you have this dream, welcome! I invite you to join us, see you inside, colleague.”

“I had no idea about this. I am understanding it perfectly. Furthermore, they provide coaching support. It is perfect so that anyone can start their entrepreneurship with a serious and dedicated institute.”

“I found the concept of contrast very useful for generating impact and awakening interest. In my personal life, I can apply it to improve my couple communication: being clearer and more emphatic. In my professional life, it helps me from trivial conversations, elevator pitches and even presentations, where I must focus the content according to the audience it will be directed to. It also applies in moments when difficult decisions need to be communicated. During the course, yes I worked on it because I tried at all times to relate the concepts seen in the program with examples or situations that were happening in my environment. I also thought about what situations I could apply the concepts seen to; for example, the "Trojan horses" to convince the Legal, Regulatory & Compliance teams to implement some initiatives like the posters. In general, I took away that communication is the basis of human relationships. As we manage to convey our ideas with clarity and use it as a tool to inspire others, we can establish ourselves as leaders and achieve real change in people and our environment. Without a doubt, the concepts and tools provided in the course serve to improve our leadership skills.”

“With Gerardo I not only learned how to tell my story from another place, from generating a community and relevance of that story, but also, with all his mentoring over the years, I was able to monetize it and generate a business around it.”

“I was very impressed by the great structure in which Gerardo articulates messages regarding his area of expertise, a structure that is evident in the orderly and precise way in which he built the program's modules. I am clear that his willingness to create a bond that guarantees real progress in the learning of course participants, but above all the program's content, is what makes it a unique offering in the market.”

“I already have the contract for 3 conferences, an invitation to teach 2 modules in a diploma program and I am about to start an in-person diploma program organized and taught by myself, currently with 17 registered participants. Next week I start the production of my online course. I am currently working on the redesign of my website and my Facebook page. All of this thanks to what I have learned in the program. Eternally grateful to Gerardo Betancourt because he literally held nothing back and with vocation and generosity shared what he is and what he does.”

“I took away the complete process of "sharpening the axe" with its 8 steps: connect with your audience from the first moment, research and understand who they are to adapt your message, identify the motivations that drive your audience, discover what moves people to design relevant messages, differentiate your presentation, define the unique approach that will make your presentation useful and memorable, focus your efforts to generate tangible impact, plan your presentation based on a result, transform your ideas into concrete actions of your audience, identify what behaviors you need to inspire in your audience to achieve that result, transmit the knowledge that really matters, design content that fills the learning gaps of your audience, design moments for your audience's memory, create emotional experiences that facilitate message delivery, group the artist's tools, prepare all necessary resources for flawless execution. The most relevant point from my perspective is identifying the motivations that drive our audiences. I believe that makes a big difference in transmitting messages according to our target audience. This allows us to ensure that the messages reflected in our presentations can have a clearer communication objective and much more forceful. From my perspective, something that is applicable to my work and personal life is focusing my efforts to generate tangible impact. I agree that we should try to transmit messages through experiences that allow us to have results that can be measurable and tangible, to achieve that the knowledge we transmit can be applicable. An example in my work is the complexity of health system information. We must be able to transmit the information in a way that Account Leads or our different audiences can use in their daily activities the information we share with them. Regarding the course, I find the videos interesting. I consider that the content in the materials is very useful for my work and the personal life examples also provide a different perspective that I find interesting. The use of theoretical concepts and downloadable material exercises seemed very useful to me, not only for the purposes of the course but also for preparing our presentations and information in a more attractive way.”

“I already feel ready to share with women this gift that I have inside! Doing the exercise of writing my method, my vehicle; was for me the revealing moment, the one in which I was able to recover the value of what I know, of what I have contributed. I am eager to continue training, to continue receiving feedback and to discover where this process can take me.”

“I'm keeping the work on storytelling. I understood that a well-structured story makes the message heard more easily and the content is assimilated better, because it organizes ideas and gives them a clear thread. I can apply it in my three areas: teaching, administration, and care. In each one you need to capture attention, explain in order, and get the other person to understand what comes next and why. I also thought the concepts are easy to listen to and, when you apply them, they become more detailed and practical. They force you to plan better what you're going to say and to communicate it with greater intention, instead of improvising the structure. In summary, I'm taking away tools to plan and communicate more clearly.”

“It helped me to be more open with the audience and to break that mental barrier of speaking in public and help others by giving my message, this is a new way to achieve success by bringing your message to others.”

“The meetings always give me clarity about aspects and situations we encounter when giving a talk. Continuous learning is the best thing I have found in this course, in this group and on this path. Always very grateful.”

“Gerardo is an intelligent person, very well connected, creative. Through preparation, work, and courage, he formed a company that today allows him to share his experiences and knowledge, so that other people are more successful in their businesses.”

“I have the support of the program, each chapter resolves something new. I have personalized support from my mentors and that has helped me advance through each of the levels. All the information is complete and complementary and it helps me ground each of my ideas.”

“I am Benito Gutiérrez. I am a speaker, mentor, consultant and author of the book "Marketing with Soul". On this occasion I want to share with you briefly a story. Of which Gerardo Betancourt is a key factor. And I'm going to explain to you why. Some years ago I was in the process of preparing my retirement after more than 30 years of collaborating in an educational institution and precisely planning what was going to happen after my retirement, which obviously I was not thinking of retiring. It was when I met Gerardo Betancourt. And at that time he became my mentor. I took a course with him to develop my skills that I already had as a speaker and thanks to Gerardo I went from a speaker level of $5,000 dollars to a level of $10,000 USD, with everything that this implies. It was not just the matter of skill development techniques, but the accompaniment he knew how to give me to find and develop my own abilities. Later with his mentorship, I entered the field of digital marketing. My original training is marketing. But that transition from offline marketing to online marketing I achieved thanks to Gerardo Betancourt's mentorship. One of the things that impressed me most about Gerardo was that he constantly told us I am not going to keep anything for myself. Everything I know, I am sharing it with you and I realized that more than teaching what he knew, he taught what he is as a person, and that is what I value most about him as a mentor. The fact that today, after four years, he is resuming his professional work. That gives me so much joy because he does so much good through his courses, through his mentorship and definitely I, if they asked me to synthesize what Gerardo Betancourt is or what he has been for my professional career, I can say that Gerardo Betancourt is a trainer of trainers. Thank you very much.”

“It has a clear direction, he is enthusiastic like many coaches, but he particularly is honest, he tells you the pros and cons and how to deal with it, his talks are really unmissable and being on his mailing list is essential.”

“It's good to have more tools to get out of the box. The talk was good and especially different. I wanted to learn something new to take advantage of it in field work. I have good comments about the instructor, the program content was very interesting, topics of good quality.”

“Excellent methodology for thinking, designing, communicating and making a presentation. It gave me a very visual, clean, simple concept of how to communicate through a presentation. Different from what I had learned and practiced with Power Point.”

“My expectations were to learn to communicate better and yes, they gave several tips to reach the necessary audience better. The instructor was very pleasant and energetic. It is an activity to learn to communicate and captivate the audience.”

“It is a very valuable activity because it really allows you to question whether the way you are communicating is the best and it makes it easier for you to communicate a message in a simple way. It is not just about transmitting the message, but about building a structure behind it that can have an impact. When I started this course I had no presentation in the pipeline. Now I have had several, some with patients and others as training for colleagues. I have noticed that sharing a story really changes things; they receive the message much more easily. I think that is the turning point in everything and you notice the difference a lot.”

“The Trojan Horse is an excellent tool for generating interest in the audience. I relate it to my day-to-day because these are learnings that will serve me greatly in my presentations in my franchise, to communicate in a more assertive and effective way. If I had to explain a concept to a colleague, I would choose the Aha moment, because it serves to capture the attention of my audience and inspire action and amazement, since each piece of my presentation is important. I also take away what makes a presentation amazing, because it gives me structure to carry out my presentations, through the amazing promise, archetypal story, paradigmatic idea, inflection point, leadership route, and checkmate.”

“One of the most important achievements I had when I was able to work with Gerardo was creating my first book, the ability to tell the story in the correct way, following a methodology and the steps that I had learned with Gerardo.”

“The impact of Gerardo as a coach in my session was very effective because he takes you by the hand and literally goes through all the steps to achieve the objective. Unlike other coaches, who only try to explain certain parts of the methodology to leave you wanting and buy the next one. No, here it is effective, from the first course you are already obtaining that learning that will last you a lifetime.”

“I learned techniques to capture attention and keep my doctor engaged in my presentation. I can also use this technique for my training courses. Gerardo has extensive knowledge of the subject, is clear in the concepts and reinforces each one of them in every session and through the practices. It is an innovative course, very different from other sales techniques courses and dynamic.”

“When I learned about the typology of communication archetypes, it was as if a veil had been lifted. I had always been a person who considered myself shy, without really knowing how to connect with my audience. Through this course, I discovered that my natural archetype was the Narrator and that by focusing on telling personal and authentic stories, I could not only capture my audience's attention, but also change the way they saw the world. I remember one particular talk, in which I shared a deep story about a personal challenge. I used the Narrator's tools, and for the first time, I felt that the entire room was completely captivated by my words. At the end, someone from the audience approached me, with tears in their eyes, and told me that my story had given them the courage to make an important decision in their life. That experience changed not only my career as a speaker, but also my personal life, because I understood the true power that sharing from the heart has.”

“I really like giving lectures and speaking in public. It is a skill that I have developed throughout my life and, although I consider that I do it well, I discovered with you, Gerardo, a new tool to connect better with new generations and current content. This allowed me to develop a different approach, moving away from the classic method of simply using slides. What I learned from you I see as a true "inception". From the first day, I told you that it reminded me of the TED Talks format, which I consider the most cutting-edge at this moment. After the group course in Cuernavaca, I began to change some aspects of my lectures inspired by your approach. Before I already received good feedback, but when I started to include personal stories in my presentations, I noticed a significant change. Now, the feedback is consistent: "I loved that you included a story," "I really liked how you shared your experience." Even simple phrases like "Let me tell you a story" captured my audience's attention better. In the last three or four lectures, this change has generated greater interest and better responses from the audience.”

“It is difficult to summarize how much this wonderful program has contributed to my personal and professional life. For me, today, it represents the bridge that connects my Dreams with their materialization. That is, it is the transformation process that has allowed me to make real what I once only looked at from afar without knowing how to begin. I remember the day I gave myself the opportunity to listen to a conference by Gerardo Betancourt. Something caught my attention, I registered, I entered, I listened carefully and thus I made one of the best decisions of my life. Joining the program has been an awakening, discovering a world I did not know, understanding that there are very powerful and completely accessible tools that are the key to opening the door to success. It has allowed me to grow as a person and as a professional, it has made me feel happy, secure and empowered, confident in my talents and with complete clarity about the steps I must follow, understanding that now it depends on me, on my love, effort and dedication to the program. I want to summarize my experience by saying that this is the compass that gives me the "direction" toward fulfilling my life purpose. It makes all the things I love deeply finally make sense and have direction. That is why I want to share the message and invite many to that, as I did one day, dare to make the best decision of your life. Thank you to Gerardo Betancourt and his wonderful team for changing lives and turning dreams into reality.”
