I speak a lot in my job but I still learnt a lot and I'm itching to try it all out.
Mike Ames, Flair
Informative. A different slant from other 'similar' courses I have attended. A lot more detail on voice control etc.
Mark Jennings, Action Coach
Very enjoyable. I will leave with lots of confidence.

Priscilla - as ever you were fab! Great contructive feedback and a comfortable, secure and safe environment to practise in.
Jen Smith, Bluepost Digital
I was so nervous about attending this course, even though I put myself forward for it! It was very scary doing the presentation and being filmed but everyone was supportive and the criticism constructive so that I now feel a CAN do.

Great course, thoroughly enjoyed it. I have received the DVD and it was a great eye opener. I have learnt a lot and really enjoyed the day. I will hopefully consider the other courses next year.

A wonderful, safe environment to overcome your fears about presentation
Nadine Emmanuel, The Co-Operative Financial Services Ltd
An excellent insight into the world of public speaking, offering an opportunity to practice the skills and overcome your fears in a safe and supportive environment.
Sangita Ladwa, HBOS Plc
An opportunity to get great "in the moment" feedback to apply through the rest of the day and most definately in the workplace.
Kath Thomas, The Co-Operative Financial Services Ltd
Paul Sugden, Town'sWeb Archiving Ltd
Thank you so much for your coaching sessions leading up to the Dynamic Public Speaking event. It was of great benefit and helped me tremendously on the big day.
Of particular benefit was the ability to practice ‘pauses’ at strategic places which helped to ‘emphasise’ certain parts of the speech and allowed the listener to ‘take-in’ what had just been said. Practicing also meant that I could portray an air of confidence even if on the inside I was severely lacking in it!
I will certainly be recommending you to others.
James Day, Leisure Marketing Ltd, 8 November 2010
Thank you both so much for yesterday - a very focused, and professional day - already used to great effect last night at a wine tasting - I used my elevator speech to secure some new business - and I did it MUCH S L O W E R!
David Hickie, David Hickie & Associates, 26 April 2010
Great opportunity to review my presentation technique and get practical and honest feedback, and great ideas for improvement.
Roy Lee, Roy Lee Plumbing & Heating, 26 April 2010
I thought the day was excellent. I am a lazy speaker and the course highlighted that fact. I will try to review my speech and try to use the tools from today.
Jane Bailey, Prima200 Ltd 26 April 2010
Really enjoyed the day and will certainly be using the learning. Look forward to receiving the DVD (I think!)
Ben Kench, The Business Booster 26 April 2010
I believe this is a vital component for anybody who values the impression they create when speaking.
Jane Box IPD 26 January 2010
Good sized group & group dynamics. Great interaction & feedback within the group. You can always improve. I may be back for more!
Raj Unadkat, Senior Manager, Santander UK
Lots of good information which I need to start to put into practice
