Burst Trainings is a world-class company fully committed to delivering a highly interactive virtual or in-person training experience no matter the size or location of your company or the amount of time you have for a training session.  We believe that learning in shorter "bursts" of time (MicroBursts) is less disruptive, more time-efficient, and increases retention levels.  Our street-wise systems generate lifelong results in as little as 30-minute virtual coaching sessions or half-day on-location "deep dive" trainings.    

The Burst training you receive is custom-built to meet your specific needs and goals delivered by experts with years of communication credentials.  Our coaches have a wide range of experience - operating as national talk show hosts, C-Suite executives, actors, and television and theater writers.  The variety of audiences means a depth of understanding about what will best meet your team's needs.  It's training from seasoned communicators.

Terry is very approachable, engaging and he brings gravitas to the teachings.  Giving us options on how hard to go felt like giving us permission to give him permission to push us. He made us feel like we were in safe hands."

Robin's encouragement, normalizing of fears, your faith in me, and then your skill at helping me craft the message, tighten the storytelling, and adding bits of gold along the way – I truly can’t imagine how I would have gotten where I did Wednesday morning. Your spirit, compassion, and relatability are worth a million.

I didn't want the end of the workweek to arrive without sending you this thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed the class on Monday and learned a great deal. You are an incredibly engaging instructor. I've already started employing some of the elements that I learned and look forward to using them on the "big stage". I have taken a number of presentation/public speaking classes throughout my long career and this one was by far the best.”

This is the easiest testimonial I have ever written, hands down. He is not only my speaking coach but my mentor and friend; someone who pushes me to work harder and have more confidence in myself.  Within our first hour together, he not only taught me skills I was able to put to immediate use, he made our time together fun.  He coaches in a way that sticks.  He’s made me a better speaker, better storyteller and a better leader.”

There have been a few moments during my 12-year career in which I leave a room feeling like a different person in terms of how to approach my work. Today, it was one of those days. You really opened my eyes to a new way of understanding the business, the process, the priorities, and the methods. I feel I can do a better job with all the tools you provided.”

We initially retained Tim to help train speakers for Facebook's Partner Center program in Menlo Park. I've now worked with Tim for 2+ years, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He is a fantastic speaker himself, which brings credibility to the work he does with his clients. He is patient and kind in how he delivers feedback. I've so appreciated this, and can honestly say that he's been an integral partner for us.  I cannot say enough good things. Highly recommend Tim if you have the chance to work with him.

"Our Fall 2020 cohort Nasdaq Center's Milestone Maker program is super lucky to have Tim Fortescue as our pitch mentor. In a few short sessions, Tim empowered the entire cohort with an actionable 2-minute pitch framework. I'm more confident in front of an audience thanks to Tim! I highly recommend his coaching sessions.“

“Amy's had an extremely positive impact on me as both a leader and human being. She has the uncanny ability to connect with everyone she meets with as though you’ve been lifelong friends. Her facilitation and presentation skills are masterful, allowing even the most technical and opinionated of audiences to become more open and engaged. Amy is the real deal and I would recommend any of my fellow leaders, executives, and friends to find an opportunity to work with her.”
