Do you want to be more confident and engaging when public speaking?

This course spread over 5 evenings is ideal for anyone wanting to feel more confident and be able to convey a more interesting and compelling message.

Whether you are:

• Nervous
• You’ve previously had a bad experience or
• You simply want to be a more skilled and engaging presenter or something else...

Whatever it is, I’ve helped lots of others to become achieve these and I feel confident I can help you achieve your goal. Held over 5 evening sessions (course dates below) you and a maximum of 5 others will learn about settling anxiety when speaking to others, understandinh how to continually improv your speaking skills, structuring a presentation, engaging an audience , voice, body language and much more. There is plenty of time for practise so you get exactly what you want from the course.

I used to be scared of speaking to others when I was younger. I learnt to do it over years but there is a far quickler way and I can help you learn that. As a double winner of Toastmasters International UK Public Speaking contests, I've learnt a lot and I can teach you much of that and, in doing so, you can become a confident, engaging and effective public speaker just like many of my former students.

As to what we cover, the following gives you an overview of the course and what we will cover together:

• Understanding and building confidence
• Understand what you do well and both what you can improve and how
• Clarity in both your message and your spoken word
• Improving your voice and body language
• Tools to help you engage better with your audience
• How to evaluate a speech and give useful feedback

The small group is vital to allow each person to share their experience and support each other to be the very best speaker they can be. The group atmosphere is lovely and it is always a complete pleasure to watch people develop, grow and bloom when they flow through the course.

Comments from those that have been on the course include:

Chris acted as catalyst and facilitator all in one and his timely interjections and personal thoughts and experience created a welcoming and relaxed environment which helped me get the most out of something that can be stressful…namely standing in front of people and talking!’

Chris’s speaking course has been transformational for me. I do a lot of speaking as part of
my business but always felt like I should be much better at it. I had significant imposter
syndrome. In literally the first session I had a massive shift and began to feel like I could
actually become a great public speaker
