This is fantastic! What an incredible gift you are giving your students. We work with clients ranging from Fortune 500 executives all the way down to small business start-ups and these very senior people so often lack much awareness to the challenges they have as communicators. And most would tell you they wish they had exposure to these important presentation principles much earlier in their life. Be very proud of the work you've done here. One thing is for sure - your students will be presenting the rest of their lives and those who communicate with a greater level of confidence and believability will bubble to the top of every organization they're in. I can't think of a better way to prepare them for life. I applaud your efforts.
