What's this course about?
This transformational course has been designed to change how you feel about public speaking so you can enjoy the experience rather than dread it. We know what it feels like to be in a big job and be terrified of public speaking. What makes this course different is our commitment to helping you feel more confident when you speak, and our focus on long term impact. That’s why at the end of day 1, you will buddy up with someone else on the course and support each other in moving forward with your public speaking journey in between sessions.
The two days of training you attend will be one month apart. With a maximum of 8 people on the course, you will be socially distanced for safety. In the training, you will learn how to develop a new mindset around public speaking so that you feel more comfortable taking up opportunities to present. You’ll pick up key techniques on how to manage nerves, learn body language and voice techniques to present with impact, and take part in a variety of speaking exercises as you build up your confidence. Most of the day will be spent speaking, not listening. At the end of the course, you’ll take away an action plan to continue making progress on your public speaking journey.

"Life changing. Best presentation skills course I have ever been to. I attended the two part course. One of the biggest qualities of the course was that as we went through the day and were taught presenting techniques, we got to put these techniques into practice within the controlled environment of the course - what better way to transform knowledge and techniques into actual skills! Our group was perfect size to allow each and everyone of us ample opportunities to practice presenting and receive and give feedback to focus on our strengths and allow us to work on suggestions. I can honestly say I am a much more confident and skilled presenter. Thank you!"Ula Caroto, Client Advisor, UBS
