Command Your Audience: Become a Competent Speaker

 

Public Speaking & Confidence Boosting Workshops

 

 

Do you feel that your confidence levels are holding you back at work? Do you wish you were a stronger communicator and public speaker? Do you shy away from making speeches and presentations?

 

Public speaking is one of the world’s number one fears. We understand how difficult it is for some people to even attend training workshops in order to overcome their fears. That's why we use alternative therapies alongside practical training in public speaking.

 

We provide weekend workshops in public speaking and confidence boosting. We have a maximum of 3 attendees to each trainer and a maximum of 12 participants, so you get plenty of one-to-one training throughout the weekend.

 

Seize this opportunity to outshine your peers and become the best. Please do attend if you want to improve your confidence, but please be aware that you will also improve your public speaking skills! If you are looking to improve your public speaking skills, but feel confident enough already; you’re going to feel even more confident by the end of the course because this programme has a dual purpose. It is designed to make you the confident, eloquent speaker that you didn’t realise you already are!

 

Neuro Linguistic Programming is used by the world's best public speaking trainers. It is a highly innovative practice, which often has instantaneous effects. During our workshops, we use various tools to help you stand up and shine as speakers; including Neuro Linguistic programming, Hypnotherapy and Auto Suggestion.

 

 

Public speaking is about knowing what you want to say and delivering your speech effectively, so that others go away feeling inspired and uplifted. We can help you to become the best orators you can be. This is an excellent opportunity to meet likeminded people who will be able to help you achieve your lifelong goals of becoming effective communicators. The course is suitable for anyone who is insecure about the way they speak or what they say when put on the spot. It is for anyone who is interested in overcoming their fears and becoming more confident.

Testimonial

"I would recommend Smith’s English to anyone who wants to gain confidence and speak effectively in public.

I’m an IT trainer in the City and provide group training sessions on a weekly basis. I was aware of the fact that my voice was monotone and lacked energy. The final straw came when one of my trainees described my voice as dull and monotonous following a two–day training course!

I decided to do something about it and contacted Smith’s English. Francesca quickly responded to my email and designed a weekly one hour session, based over 10 weeks at my organisation.  

The lessons were brilliant! Francesca provided personalised coaching and showed me how to use my voice to its full capability. With daily practice I found the effects were immediate and I now feel more confident in speaking in front of large groups and able to command my audience’s attention.  I also found the training to be useful in other aspects of my job. I feel more confident talking at team meetings and delivering a speech to 200 clients at a recent user group meeting was an enjoyable experience rather than a trauma!"

 

 

Public Speaking is one of the word's greatest fears. The majority of people use the following strategy: avoidance... This is unfortunate because overcoming our fears is one of the greatest things we can do to increase our feelings of self worth and boost our confidence.

We provide a nurturing environment in which to cultivate the amazing speaker that lies within each and everyone of us. We use techniques such as NLP to make the process as far from traumatic as possible. Indeed, our courses are fun and progressive and provide the ideal environement to produce award winning speakers.
