who is this course for?
Our small group courses are designed for people who need extra support in managing anxiety and building confidence when talking to an audience. Our participants are likely to be more fearful of public speaking than the average person. They are motivated to learn how to manage their fear and become more comfortable with public speaking so that they can start taking career and other opportunities.
fear-less approach and why you should choose us
Other courses will teach you about the art of public speaking or how to become an exceptional speaker, but there are few choices available for people who want to stop being terrified first!
You will learn how to create and deliver a good presentation but we also focus heavily on confidence building. We will start with what you are comfortable with – e.g. introducing yourself to one other person, and then gradually extend your comfort zone.
During the course you will be with other people who are in a similar situation and you will receive support not just from your coach but from others in the group. Your wellbeing is our focus and extra support is available to those who need it.

private public speaking coaching
While private coaching does not provide an opportunity to practice in front of others it can be useful in some circumstances including:
- when you have an important speaking engagement coming up and you don't have time to do a course
- if you are working on a particular aspect of your speech writing or delivery technique (e.g how to structure a presentation or how to improve your body language)
- if you would like a brief introduction to some tips for managing your nerves prior to enrolling in a course (you will receive a course discount if you subsequently enrol)
