What our trainees say about us

The course has answered my needs. It helped me become aware of the weak points in my verbal and non-verbal communication, and gradually overcome them. It motivated me to continue nurturing my diction and public speaking skills. I’m extremely satisfied and grateful to Marko.

Jelena Jovanović

Tanslator

Marko and Slobodan have a very specific, dynamic and personalised approach to the training, which can be applied even with those people who have already gained experience in presenting. Getting familiar with the techniques of verbal expression and articulation, with practical advice on how to apply and perfect them, is one of the most striking impressions from the training, because it open up a whole new perspective of public speaking and presenting, and it’s something that’s usually neglected in other trainings of this kind. With the other section, based on non-verbal communication and concrete suggestions on how each trainee can improve their own style, the training ties up the subject of public speaking, and the results are applicable in both private and business settings.

First of all, it’s a great privilege to have a mentor and teacher in such a professional as Marko. The method, enthusiasm and professionalism with which he approaches are “out of this planet”. Perfecting the skills and class with him – it’s as if I had the chance to perfect my tennis skills with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.

Goran Djokic

Key Account/Distributor Manager

Thanks to your course, I learned how to correctly accentuate certain words, I got free of nervousness during public speaking and trained myself to breathe properly while speaking. Slobodan is an excellent teacher and I would recommend to everyone in any way involved in public speaking to sign up.

Mirjana Djordjevic

Journalist

When I found out that my testimony in court will decide whether or not I win the case on which my life depended, I was determined to prepare for that public appearance as best as I could. Recommended by my son, who attended a course in diction at the Main Point Institute, I made the decision to ask for professional assistance. During training classes, I got more than useful advice on how to present what I want in a suggestive way, clearly and resolutely. I’m just going to say – the favorable court decision I got stated that the determining factor behind it was my testimony, which was characterized as reasonable, logical and impressive. Now I tell everyone that in the vicinity of the Arena in New Belgrade, there is a place where to can learn to say most effectively what you care about.

Dragana Aleksic

Entrepreneur

I believe this is a unique opportunity for young professionals who want to improve not just in their careers but personally as well.

Saying that I’m more than satisfied with the approach and organizing the workshops by Slobodan, Marko and Pavle is an understatement. What I appreciate is the seriousness in work and commitment to each trainee. I wish lots of success in further work, and you will always have my honest recommendation for your workshops.

My initial days in Main Point Institute were a sad sight. Great motivation and a desire to do the job I love, but an ever greater block. I was running away from the camera during the training itself, and the thought of entering a TV studio was mission impossible. Little by little, and I made it, but only thanks to immense persistence and support of Slobodan Roksandic. I thank him for believing in me. Nervousness is still there, but more as an internal sensation. It’s really possible to desensibilitate yourself. Today I manage to be on top form even during live-broadcast programs. Although nervousness was my biggest problem, I learned other useful skills: I breathe in a more proper way, I control my clutch words, I improve my non-verbal expressivity and most importantly – I say what I want properly and memorably. Thank you to the wonderful people from Main Point Institute for not letting me give up for enabling me to have this win in life.
