This course has revolutionised my approach to public speaking. Simply by planning more effectively and using the techniques for managing my nerves, I have seen a marked improvement in how audiences respond. I recently received very positive feedback from a presentation to over 200 people. And the great thing is the skills also transfer to other areas of my life – in meetings, conversations with clients – wherever strong communication skills are needed!

Pete Barrett, Grants Programme Officer, Northern Rock Foundation

Since attending this programme I have put all the tools and techniques into practice and received excellent feedback on my performance. According to my audience from a recent presentation, I made a dry and dull topic interesting and lively enough for the group to feel motivated - a real success!

Dee Jethwa, Director, Learning Consultancy

Thank you for a great 3 days! The video feedback and presentation practice has helped me overcome my fear of public speaking. It's really boosted my confidence and given me some invaluable tools to help me deliver clearer and hopefully more engaging presentations - my days of reading out lists of objectives from a PowerPoint are well and truly over...!

Justine Simons, Mayor of London's Office

The course was fantastic. I honestly think it’s one of the most useful and beneficial ones I’ve ever attended. I didn’t think it would be possible for me to present for 5 minutes without a script in my hands before I came on this course – WOW! Gold stars to you all!

Kate Booth, Legacy Officer, Cancer Research UK

This was the best training course I have every attended. Despite the ‘scary’ nature of being observed, I felt very comfortable with the group and the safe environment created by the trainers. Excellent!

Julia Hargreaves, Local Campaigns Coordinator, NSPCC

I found this course challenging and very worthwhile. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their skills in public speaking. The results have been far-reaching, particularly in developing personal presence and increasing audience engagement. On top of that, the video feedback and 1₂1 sessions were extremely valuable for practising techniques in a safe environment.
