Public Speaking Course Melbourne

Dramatically improve your presentation skills. Gain confidence, clarity and cut-through.

Public Speaking Courses Melbourne

Public speaking training.

If you present to conference -goers, customers, prospects, donors, staff or board directors, you’re a public speaker.

Effective public speakers and presenters gain support, sales, donations and influence. They enjoy better careers. Let Brett de Hoedt dramatically improve your presentation skills.

Brett works with people as he finds them. There is no one way to be an effective communicator, no one personality type, nor one special technique that will guarantee a standing ovation.  Brett focuses on your content more than what you wear or how you use your hands.  

Book one-to-one or small group sessions for your company or network across Melbourne and beyond. Delivered in person or online.

Who is this for?

CEOs, managers, advocates, representatives, spokespeople are constantly judged on their speaking skills.

Professionals

Professionals and entrepreneurs wanting to carve out a profile in their sector need to own the stage.

Leaders & those who wish to lead in the future need to persuade, inspire and gain trust.

The kudos & credibility that comes with being a great speaker.

Endless free publicity that comes with public speaking.

A boost to your career and bottom line with my speaking in public course.

How Does it Work?

Ideal for senior executives and those with a particular presentation to perfect. One-to-one training is best delivered over a series of shorter sessions. In-person or online.

Gather your colleagues - up to eight people works well. Group training creates a culture that values quality presentations and leads to all participants 'singing from the same hymn sheet'. Also: it's fun.

Industry associations, networks and peak bodies often see a need for our training and extend a development opportunity to their members. This is typically excellent value for participants.

Occasionally - once a year in Melbourne and Sydney - we hold day-long public workshops. This is ideal for self-employed folk and those from smaller businesses. Sign up to our emails to hear about them first.

Online Public Speaking Courses are now available. Improve your communications skills from the comfort of your own home. Click here to find out more or contact me today!

A Practical Agenda Built From Experience

Expectations of what makes a satisfactory speech have escalated dramatically thanks to the likes of Steve Jobs and TED Talks.

Public speaking is now a must-have skill for any leader.

Who knows – you may even develop a love for the limelight.

We tailor our curriculum to your needs but here’s what we typically cover:

Brett De Hoedt

When not training clients to be the best presenters that they can be, Brett de Hoedt hits stages across Australia and New Zealand as an emcee and keynote speaker.

This means he is continually putting his own theory into practice and observing dozens of speakers ply their trade. That means your training is always contemporary. 

Unlike other public speaking courses Presentation Savvy comes with three levels of follow-up coaching.

We know Presentation Savvy training gets results. That’s why if you invest yourself in our workshop, notes and follow-up coaching but don’t improve your skills we will give you your money back. 

What other Melbourne public speaking trainer is offering you that? 

We aim to make the most of our time together so before we meet  we’ll discuss the contexts in which you currently present, your level of confidence, your goals and investigate your typical audiences.

This ensures that we’ll cover what is most important to you.

Unlike other public speaking courses Presentation Savvy comes with follow-up coaching. 

Typical workshops are supported with 52 weeks of unlimited coaching for all participants. It’s all part of the deal. You’re welcome.

Why is ongoing coaching important for public speaking courses in Melbourne?

A great workshop is one thing – and it’s a thing I deliver, especially in my public speaking course Melbourne – but no matter how great the workshop is, the knowledge gained will naturally start to fade over time. That’s just human nature, which is why I offer 12 months of coaching following my workshops. This ensures that our initial meeting is just the beginning of your journey to improvement.

Imagine being able to call upon an expert for help with your conference presentation, a pitch to sponsors, or a report to the board, whenever needed. Our sessions might involve 10 minutes to fine-tune your opening or 20 minutes to enhance your audience engagement, or even hours spent crafting and delivering a major speech. And there’s no extra charge for this—it’s all part of the package. This benefit extends to all participants of the session. My commitment to coaching stems from seeing the tangible improvements in my clients. In my opinion, public speaking trainers who do not offer such extensive and complimentary coaching are missing a vital opportunity to share their expertise and time generously.

What should I look for in a public speaking course Melbourne?

When exploring public speaking courses in Melbourne, find a coach who is comfortable with clients as they are, regardless of their love for the spotlight or their confidence levels. I take pride in the diversity of my clients – ranging from Olympians to asylum seekers, including sex workers, CEOs, people with disabilities, and climate scientists.

It’s important to seek someone who will build on your unique strengths and style, rather than trying to fit you into a predefined mold. Beware of coaches with rigid formulas or trademarked techniques. Remember, you are a human, not a computer to be programmed.

Your coach should also be someone who regularly engages with real audiences. I actively take the stage around 25 times a year across Australia, serving as an emcee, facilitator, or speaker. This experience keeps my insights and approach fresh and relevant.

Moreover, it’s crucial that your coach values your content as much as your stagecraft. A good coach will help you convey your message in a way that is interesting, vibrant, and memorable, tailoring their approach to suit complex concepts and make them accessible. While some may focus predominantly on voice, movement, or wardrobe, a holistic approach that encompasses all aspects of public speaking is key.

Are Melbourne public speaking courses for shy people and introverts?

Most clients in my Melbourne public speaking courses range from feeling “reasonably comfortable” to “I’d rather die” when it comes to public speaking. They are primarily experts in their respective fields, which often leads them to give presentations. They aren’t chasing fame and fortune; rather, public speaking is a part of their professional responsibilities. I focus on nurturing their confidence by creating a supportive atmosphere and gradually expanding their comfort zones.

I’ve also found that engaging in activities like speaking, which people typically avoid, helps desensitize them to the experience. Moreover, improving their skills and having quality content prepared significantly boosts comfort levels in public speaking.

How would you describe Brett’s style of coaching?

Brett, as a public speaking coach in Melbourne, is known for his informal and extremely flexible approach, tailored to the client’s needs. His style is practical, and he takes great pleasure in witnessing clients progress. He excels in developing innovative ways to explain concepts and engage audiences, making each session both effective and enjoyable.

I don’t speak at fancy conferences. Do I need this training on presentation skills?

Absolutely. Training on presentation skills is essential not just for keynote presenters at large conferences, but also for those speaking in smaller settings. Many of my clients engage in activities like conducting tours for prospective clients, pitching to potential investors or supporters, addressing their board monthly, or communicating with their team daily. If you need to facilitate a panel discussion, I can help with that too. Everyone, regardless of the setting, can improve their speaking abilities. Enhanced communication skills invariably lead to increased influence and respect.

What’s better – one-to-one training or group for public speaking classes in Melbourne?

In my public speaking classes in Melbourne, I deliver training in various formats. Typically, it involves a small group of four to eight participants, often from a single organization. Sometimes, a network, industry association, or peak body gathers a group from different organizations within a common sector.

While more participants mean slightly less individual attention, the advantage is the opportunity to learn from each other. Group training is not only a great bonding experience but also an efficient way to bring new team members up to speed, offering better value per person.

Alternatively, you may choose one-to-one training, especially beneficial for preparing a specific presentation or for individuals in leadership roles seeking to establish a profile in their industry.

However, don’t immediately decide on one-to-one training. Having colleagues as an audience offers instant feedback and helps create a shared content experience.

Additionally, I’ve conducted media training for larger groups, typically in a presentation format, during conferences or in-house development days. These sessions are always a delightful and engaging experience.

What’s the hardest thing to learn in public speaking training Melbourne?

The toughest bridge to cross for most clients, particularly in public speaking training in Melbourne, is developing self-belief. Many struggle with the notion that they have valuable insights to share in an engaging manner. This modesty often leads them to believe someone else is better suited to speak on the topic. However, this is a mistaken belief!

Another challenge is the hesitation to try new approaches, like interacting with the audience, using more abstract visuals in their presentations, or adopting a more provocative tone. But with time and the right guidance, we make significant progress in overcoming these hurdles.

Do you want to learn and practise new skills in a small, safe, group course?

Practising and learning in a small, safe supportive group where other participants understand your challenges and goals…it’s powerful.

How CEOs and Founders can become charismatic speakers, without setbacks, even if you dislike presentations, media appearances, talking on video or public speaking.

Vip speaker training for ceo’s, executives, entrepreneurs & founders, we don’t want to remind you too much of that feeling when your heart pounds in your chest, your hands feel sweaty and clammy, or your voice trembles because this is something that up to 77% of humans experience at the thought of public speaking..

Presenting anxiety is entirely normal whether in front of an audience, in a pressure-cooker meeting, investor pitch, or behind the camera lens.

Freezing up on stage , moving too much or too little, struggling to project your voice tone or feeling out of sync with your audience are just a few of the challenges we can face when public speaking. You’re not alone.

If you’ve ever wanted to set the perfect tone for your company with charismatic presentations, media appearances and elegant speaking but have already lost time searching for public speaking courses in Melbourne and feel little inclination to join a generic public speaking class, you should consider MY VIP Speaker training for CEOs and Founders. I will train you in the niche tactics you need to become a vocally influential speaker in a way that accelerates your brand and builds your industry visibility.

Because the last thing you want is to be invited to speak for a huge and unexpected opportunity and not be ready.

Elite Public Speaking Training

Hello, i’m dr. sarah, communication performance consultant for executives, ceos & founders. director at cadenza..

After working for over a decade as an executive speaking consultant, voice coach and speech pathologist, I noticed that many public speaking programs leave out the detailed science-backed solutions communication research offers. As a result, most presentation training options don’t focus on personalised training in a way that gives you a transformative experience and method unique to your persona and visibility goals for your industry, personality and unique communication style. While Toastmasters and group workshops are a great way to cut your teeth on stage, the generic approach and time commitment involved can have a limiting impact on getting the tangible outcome you need, especially if you’re a flat-out entrepreneur or founder with limited scope available to invest in time-consuming group sessions on weeknights.

This is why I’ve designed a richly-packed public speaking course that allows you to get it done, in person , with me so that you can be ready at the last minute or at the best moment right away to give the presentation of your life . Rather like public speaking triage, with high-level expert crisis care geared to CEOs, entrepreneurs and founders, so that you can walk away buoyant and upskilled, ready for any high-level presentation, media appearance or curveball opportunity that will propel you forward as an industry leader.

Sometimes speaking and media opportunities come up out of the blue. There is no way that long-winded generalised public speaking courses can prepare you for an appearance that needs elite presentation skills.

This is why I’ve created this public speaking course and structured it as an intensive so you can get it done, once and for all .

PhD, Master of Speech Pathology, Master of Music (Opera Performance), BMus (Perf), BA(Eng and Philosophy)

Back in 2018, I was contacted by a landscape architect who was on the path to developing into a global industry leader in the design space for their ingenious climate solutions. My new client had to prepare her first Ted Talk. Although they had presented small talks before, they were eager to reach their audience naturally and craft their presentation skills to add more of a human touch and build rapport with the viewer.

It turns out this was a brilliant goal because my client’s Ted Talk to date has just under 2 million views with over 58,000 likes, and they have since been invited to speak at numerous global events and even made it into Time Magazine and the New York Times .

In just 12 minutes on stage, my client built their brand and influence at a global level. What did it take?

Obviously, they had years of experience in their industry niche to become an expert, but regarding the training it took to get their message across in a way that resonated with millions of people, 5 hours of work with me.

This is just one of many industry leaders I’ve trained at the brink of their viral public speaking breakthrough.

So how did I partner with my client to get them ready?

You need considerable niche skills to prepare to step on stage with impeccable confidence to deliver an elite and memorable presentation.

What we cover, here’s a summary of what we can cover so that you, like my many clients, can harness verified tools that capture the crowd and make your message change lives, hearts and minds..

You’ll get a dedicated intensive program with me as your communication expert in which I’ll show you how to:

Increase your charisma when speaking on camera, in front of an audience or to the media using 16-verified tactics supported by the latest communication science research.

Warm up your voice to clarify your tone and feel assured and acoustic while presenting.

How to speak off the cuff and with a teleprompter, and when you should opt for either

Incorporate logical flow strategies so you don’t need a script. You can confidently present your ideas and message, especially in media interviews, on stage and in pressure-cooker situations

Walk on stage, move on camera, and use facial expressions and gestures to charm and endear your listener, audience and the public — your body talks, and you’ll learn how to use it more effectively.

Set up your lighting, microphone, camera angles and other gear to ensure you look and sound good on diy video.

Build your elevator pitch so that you can state your value offer precisely and with magnetic conviction.

Increase your vocal expression using my prototype vocal palette training to keep your speaking animated, gripping and engaging.

Dress for stage, the camera and career-defining meetings so you can leverage increased executive presence and credibility and feel comfortable and self-assured

A Breakdown of The Agenda

What your vip public speaking course will look like.

Once your application is accepted, we’ll schedule an onboarding call to clarify your public speaking training goals, ask any questions and ensure we’re clear on KPIs for the day and your top speaking goals so that Sarah can make out your day in a personalised and bespoke way.

Once we complete this onboarding call, you’ll be ready to book your VIP day.

The VIP Public Speaker Program

You’ll arrive at the CADENZA HQ (Level 14, 380 St Kilda Road, Melbourne) for your public speaking VIP day.

We’ll start with a morning briefing over coffee of the core KPIs for the day ahead before launching right into your first bespoke session of the day. We’ll then give you login access to your personal digital learning platform, where all your resources, exercises and practical tools will be allocated for later reference.

The day starts with Voice Optimisation training, where you’ll learn the best-fit vocal warm-up that your voice needs, as well as tactical drills to suit your communication style and voice tone so that you have the most effective system for getting your voice ready for any presentation, keynote or media appearance. At the end of the first session, you’ll receive a portfolio of your allocated voice exercises with video demonstrations to implement voice techniques after our session.

The resources are built in such a way that you can log in on your phone before a presentation to complete the guided warm-up with Sarah before any presentation.

This is your unique chance to get voice training for public speaking with a professional opera singer, speaker and voice therapist, the only offer of its kind in Australia.

From 10 am to 11 am, you’ll receive training in the 16- verified charisma tactics for public speaking with practical demonstrations and the chance for personal rehearsal so that you know what behaviours to increase to build your magnetism on-stage. While the charisma techniques are concrete behaviours supported by research, this training is practical and tailored to you not theoretical. It includes vocal, verbal and speech rhythm tools to increase your eloquence and stage presence while speaking.

Next, it will be time for an intensive that covers how intense presenting is. We’ll look at tools and techniques to assist you in overcoming performance barriers, performance anxiety and high-level pressure on stage, behind the lens or behind a microphone. You’ll gain the scientific and artistic tools Sarah uses on stage for seamless vocal and physical performance as an opera singer that will revolutionise how you interact with your audience and internal fears so that you can feel polished and prepared for any audience size. This training is the most practical way to address the flight and fight response most people face on stage. In 1 hour, you’ll learn what elite performers spent a lifetime mastering to overcome performance anxiety and deliver for their audience.

After this session, it will be time for a chance to decompress further with a fine dining business lunch experience on Level 14, 380 St Kilda Road with Sarah, where you can take the opportunity to reflect on your morning of learning, ask questions and enjoy the superb cuisine that Melbourne is known for before returning to the CADENZA HQ for your afternoon of training.

Our next session will be dedicated to bodywork, where you’ll cover how to walk on stage, position your body on stage, emote more effectively with facial and gestural expressions, and overcome any eye contact concerns behind the camera or in front of a large audience.

You’ll receive solid training in how to make a strong stage entrance and exit as well as tools to calm your body of excess and erratic movements, poor posture, breath positioning and hesitant neurotic stance on stage that kill charisma with clear demonstrations, examples and targeted feedback so that you know exactly what you’re doing and how to do it better.

This session is dedicated to the technical tools of a presenter. According to your onboarding call, we will prioritise any or all of the following as time permits:

• Spontaneous speaking training and how to respond to unexpected questions with poise, polish and charm to stop yourself from freezing up on stage or in interview/ panel settings
• Teleprompter training
• Dealing with the media like an expert
• Microphone and lighting tips for presenting better in DIY videos- great for founders and business owners
• Scripting strategies

To wrap up the day, Sarah will sit with you and prepare your public speaking biography and develop your unique value proposition based on her observations across the day so that you can leave with a finalised personal branding document in your hands that outlines your unique public speaking style and offer ready for your next event.

Presentation skills training shouldn’t be a time suck and leave you feeling underdone, especially since wasted minutes are lost business and career opportunities.

Discover this step-by-step way in a day to become a talented and charismatic speaker for public speaking, presentations & media appearances on stage, in the boardroom or behind the lens without spending years trying to overcome performance anxiety.

Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions, we have answers..

Here are the common questions that we get and our answers.

1. I’ve never heard of a VIP day. What is it?

A VIP day is a day that gives you total access for one full day, to an industry expert, providing you with a thorough, personalised and fast solution for your needs.

2. Who exactly is this VIP Day public speaking course for?

Sarah Geiger International’s presentation training is best suited to time-strapped people who know how they communicate on stage, to the media or in the public eye directly impacts their business ventures, career potential and credibility as an industry leader or public figure.

3. I’m not a CEO, Founder, Executive or Entrepreneur, would this VIP day be suitable for my public speaking training?

Although this public speaking course is geared towards CEOs, Founders, Entrepreneurs and executives, the beauty of the program is that Sarah tailors your VIP day to your needs so that your bespoke goals are achieved. If you’re unsure whether your specific public speaking training goals will suit this program get in touch with Sarah .

4. I've already tried public speaking courses but didn't follow through because I'm too busy, would this even work for me?

The best thing about this public speaking course in Melbourne is that it can be done in a day. The presentation skills training has been designed for people that work in high-powered roles who can’t commit to a regular time frame due to managing several companies, travelling extensively or simply not having the time to keep up consistent sessions. If this sounds like you, receiving your public speaking training in an intensive model across one day, is the best way to get strategies in place and give you the chance to dedicate focus across a feasible time frame given your mobile and heavily packed schedule.

5. Can I purchase this public speaking course for my employees or team members?

Absolutely! Sarah partners with Fortune 500 companies, corporate organisations and small to medium businesses to provide evidence-based communication and speaking solutions. If you’d like to sign up a team member or employee for a program get in touch with us .

6. What differentiates a CADENZA VIP Day from other Public Speaking Courses?

7. is it possible to work on my public speaking skills in a 1-1 session don’t i need an audience to practice with.

Inspirational and impactful public speaking is the outcome of a systematic set of techniques, and while it may seem like public speaking training is only possible with an audience, consider this. The best athletes and performers all learn their techniques before they compete or perform for a crowd of spectators. The learning process for public speaking is best suited to 1-1 consultations so that you can efficiently drill and implement the speaking tools, visual delivery techniques and voice tone techniques. Don’t bypass the hard work needed to gain the finesse your audience is hoping for by skipping straight to the stage. That would be like jumping into the pool without knowing how to swim. The best performers train in private to deliver seamlessly in public.

8. How much time do I have to dedicate to this program to see results?

Like any skill-based training program, the more you put into it, the more new skills will stick and outcomes will rise. However, since this program has been engineered for time-stretched people, Sarah has built the training so that at the end of your VIP day you will already have results and be more than ready for giving enhanced presentations, media appearances and speeches . If you wish to keep building on the techniques and skills mastered on your VIP day, you will have the chance to do so. Your purchase also includes amazing bonuses like the 4-week mentorship program that helps you implement with total accountability via our walkie-talkie style interface. You’ll also have access to a portfolio of Sarah’s prototype tools for later use if you wish to add more finesse.

9. I’ve been asked to present for the media, onstage at a conference or on the news on a very tight time frame, can I book this day ASAP and will it give me what I need to present eloquently in the public eye?

Absolutely! This is precisely why Sarah offers this service. Speaking and media opportunities come up out of the blue. There is no way that long-winded generalised public speaking courses can prepare you for an appearance that needs elite presentation skills when you’re on a tight deadline. This is why we offer this elite public speaking course and have structured it as a VIP day so you can get it done in a day.

10. I’m really interested in this program but have a few more questions. Can I get them answered?

You sure can, check this page to get in touch .

11. I’m more interested in media training than public speaking training, would this VIP day be a suitable option for me?

The bespoke nature of this VIP day means that Sarah can give attention to the core goals and skills you have so if you’d like to focus more on media training, this is totally possible.

12. I've seen lots of public speaking courses online, is this public speaking training in person?

Yes, this training is delivered in person with Sarah.

13. I'm terrified to get on stage, present or speak in public, will this public speaking course help me overcome performance anxiety?

Yes, this training includes tools. and techniques to assist you in overcoming performance barriers, performance anxiety and high-level pressure on stage, behind the lens or behind a microphone.

Communicate With Confidence

Presentation skills training | workshops | keynote presentations | coaching, presentation skills training course melbourne.

Communicate with Confidence workshops are designed to enhance your confidence levels, storytelling skills, presentation techniques and script writing strategies in a fun, hands-on and interactive environment.

Workshop key learning areas

• How public speaking helps you elevate, innovate and grow your business
• Defining your why; Uncovering your unique business story and competitive edge
• Creating your high-impact elevator pitch
• Learning to control public speaking nerves and transform fear into positive energy
• Strategies to use your body language and voice for maximum impact
• Creating a compelling and engaging visual presentation that brings your key messages to life

• Learning how to engage your audience, and read and raise the energy in the room
• Rehearsing, planning and preparing for presentation success

One of most valuable skills in the corporate world is the ability to deliver an effective, engaging, clear and confident presentation in front of your peers, colleagues and clients. A compelling presentation is a very powerful business tool. It enhances your power of influence and can be used to encourage the growth of ideas, motivate your employees, instigate change and influence key stakeholders.

However, delivering an effective presentation is more than just preparing content. In a Communicate With Confidence Presentation Skills Workshop Jordana will teach you the tools you need to deliver a winning presentation. This includes how to:

Engage Your Audience

You don’t want to spend hours investing time into creating an incredible presentation – filled with statistics, data and colourful stories – only to find you can’t connect with your audience – and therefore, all your hard work is lost. Jordana will teach you how to connect and engage your crowd from the moment you open and throughout your presentation; whether you are speaking to a small group of close colleagues, or a large room of strangers. Learning how to engage your audience from the moment you step on stage will boost engagement, enjoyment and audience retention, making your presentation more meaningful for both you and your crowd.

Spice Up Your Presentation Methods

The more of our senses and our body we engage when we’re performing tasks, the more engaged we actually are. As a presenter, if you can work towards engaging all of your audiences’ senses, you’ll create a more memorable, meaningful, and richer learning experience for them. The best way to do this is by varying your approach, style and how you deliver your content. By enrolling in a presentation skills course, you will learn how to vary your teaching methods in a way that’s exciting and fun for you and your audience, keeping your audience involved, engaged and motivated.

Use Visuals To Enhance Engagement

Incorporating visuals in your presentation is a powerful tool that helps bring your key messages to life. However, if you overload your slide deck with visuals, your audience can get easily distracted. In this workshop, Jordana will teach you how to achieve the right balance of visuals to help bring your unique message to life in a way that resonates with your audience and adds to their learning experience. Jordana will teach you which messages and stories can be enhanced with visuals, how often to use visuals and how to create visual aids (such as PowerPoint presentations) that are clear, concise and add to your content rather than taking away from it.

Time Your Presentation Properly

Timing is crucial in delivering an effective and high-impact presentation. In some situations, you’ll have strict time constraints and a lot of content to fit in – which can seem impossible! While in other situations you might be allocated a big window of time, and it can feel challenging to know where and how to start planning. Jordana will teach you strategies and techniques to plan and structure your content in a way that best suits your message and your audience. Most importantly, you will learn how to maximise the time you have been allocated so you don’t feel the need to rush.

Is this workshop right for you?

Clear and effective communication skills are important in all areas of our life. Whether you’re just starting out with public speaking, or you’re an experienced speaker already, you’ll learn valuable and practical hands-on tips that will help enhance your confidence, boost your presentation skills and increase your power of influence.

Why are Jordana’s workshops special?

"I have learned about public speaking/presenting in the past, and the training with Siobhan has proven to be most useful by far. Although it was just one day, I have learned some valuable tips. The session was structured well and we got to practice in a safe and fun environment. It was nice to learn about the sociology behind the tips."

"Best training we've done and it doubled as a team bonding day :)"

"Siobhan was a great trainer. In a short amount of time she warmed up the room and made everyone feel comfortable practising public speaking techniques. She gave useful tips and good feedback. The group took a lot away from the session and I would highly recommend Siobhan as a public speaking trainer."

"A fantastic course. As someone with lots of experience in public speaking (but with no formal training), I was a bit worried that the course would involve a lot of "nice to know" stuff and not offer much relevant learning, but I needn't have worried. Jill tailored the course to meet the needs of all participants and I can safely say that I got what I expected to get out of the course and more and it was a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable experience."

"Great trainer - wish Origin would have provided us with a longer session. Siobhan is an asset to your company!"

 "Really enjoyed the course. The trainer made it highly engaging and interactive."

"I enjoyed the course a lot and learnt how t o be more positive in a particular environment. The course helped me build my confidence, I wish I could have more of such sessions."

-Origin Organisational Capability - Upstream

"Great Trainer, she made us all feel comfortable and was very genuine and relatable. Best trainer I've had."

-Associated Retailers Limited

"This course was great for me. Mark the trainer was very helpful I would recommend him to anyone. A++"

-Downer Group PTY LTD

"Peter was excellent. Best trainer I've had. really in tune with the needs of the group and very direct in a supportive manner."

"Trainer was excellent and help people step out of their comfort zone."

"The course was amazing. The facilitator was amazing, always made us feel very comfortable but also made us leave our comfort zone (very necessary for public speaking) in a very safe and respectful way. Always gave us constructive feedback and what to do in order to achieve the wanted results. I would recommend this course 100% and I am very thankful the course was facilitated by such an amazing professional and person. Thanks so much!"

-Fuji Xerox Supplies

"I found the course to be a great refresher as have both trained and received training in the content in my earlier career. I had forgotten how useful the concepts are and feel invigorated to re-apply to my current role and company. Siobhan was great, extremely knowledgeable about how the brain works and providing additional psychological perspectives to advance the info to a deeper level."

"I found the body language portion of the course extremely useful as I had never really had training specific to this and it will be important to future roles. Also, controlling and being aware of my body language during presentations is always something that I have found difficult to develop, so I will most certainly incorporate my learnings from this segment."

"Siobhan was a fantastic trainer, she was fully of energy and made learning about public speaking a delight. Lot's of fun and useful. I'm in a phone based role but the skills learnt will be helpful for my development."

-Eventbrite Au Pty Ltd

"Most: the experience of the presenter was obvious/ She had a wealth of experience. It did not take her long to identify the needs of her learner"

-Plumpton House school

"I'd like to mention how incredible I think Siobhan is as a trainer. She was really positive and fun and has a huge base of knowledge. She kept the energy in the room so positive all day and made learning really fun. I came away feeling more confident and like I'd learnt a lot in a day."

-Eastern Victoria GP Training

"Best course I have ever done!"

-Royal Australian Air Force

"Great small group of people. Our trainer Peter was very engaging and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to any friend looking to improve their confidence with public speaking."

-Your Hot Property

"I thoroughly enjoyed the training. This is because of Siobhan's practical and energetic approach to delivering the training course. Everything that Siobhan has shared during the training I have implemented immediately in my work context."

-Equity Trustees

"Siobhan was excellent! She made the course very enjoyable and all participants were engaged throughout. The day was tailored to our needs as a group and I personally found it an extremely useful training day and the topics learnt are invaluable."

-Individual Course Participant

"It was a great course, with an excellent teacher!"

"The trainer (Peter) is really good. He puts energy on what he discussed preventing the discussion to be boring. I learned a lot from him."

Ecolab Pty Ltd

"This PD session for me was one of the best I have ever attended. The small group was fantastic for people who lack confidence in public speaking. I came away feeling extremely happy and confident within myself with how the day went. I have already made recommendations to the department for future training suggestions. Thank you Derrick :)"

Individual Course Participant

" Instructor was fantastic. Some participants were not familiar with public speaking, for those more nervous about the experience it would also have been a good option to have participants pair up to provide a presentation together on what each learned at the end of the course. Content was useful and the instructor did a good job at using practical examples and exercises rather than pure text book learning."
