"Russ Dantu is a real PRO -- Professional. Resourceful. Original. I have had the privilege
of working with Russ on several projects such as seminar facilitation, speech writing, and
event coordination. He has a gift of incorporating fun into his work, yet is focused enough
to get the job done. Working one-on-one with him has been tremendously beneficial.
As a professional public speaker myself, I will attest to the fact that I have learned a
great deal from Russ. He provides honest and constructive feedback which has helped
with the development of my own public speaking. In a large group setting, Russ has
the ability to keep the participants engaged. He is able to teach from is heart.
Russ uses his experiences to help others in a positive, uplifting way."

Coaching

“If you need coaching, you need Russ Dantu. Russ's coaching helped me along the arduous
path of Toastmasters International World Championship of Public Speaking. Russ coached
me through the Quarter Finals, Semifinals, and Finals of the World Championship.
An established speaker in his own right, Russ will get you on the right path
to becoming the speaker you want to be.”

Martin Presse

World Championship of Public Speaking

“What can I say, I have had the pleasure to witness Russ coach several members of our
Toastmasters Club. He is always honest, fair and helpful. I don't know how he comes
up with so many ideas so quickly. More recently I have benefited from his talents.
Through Russ' help I have been able to gather the confidence I need to move
my speaking to the next level. Does Russ help you lose the butterflies? No.
What he does, is help you to learn to overcome those butterflies by
having the confidence in yourself to know you can do it!”
