Speak With Confidence

“I've enjoyed Lee's course so much, I've done it three times. Each time, I gained new insights into my personal communication style, and each time I felt inspired and full of energy to out and use my voice to tell stories. I'm a writer. My pen and notebook are my tools. Talking with people one on one is usually no problem for me. But I'm shy. So speaking out in front of an audience or at a job interview feels challenging. Thanks to Lee, I feel I can use my voice more confidently.”

“What an amazing journey this course was! I was absolutely terrified walking in on the first night but Lee did a fantastic job of putting us at ease from the get go. This isn’t to say we weren’t pushed out of our comfort zones during the course, we most definitely were! But meeting such a great group of new people and learning how to navigate and conquer inner demons of public speaking whilst gaining new tools, skills and knowledge from Lee and was an invaluable experience - I’m so glad I took the plunge and signed up!”

“Thank you so much, for the sessions I did go to were fantastic and I felt really well supported to face my public speaking fears. I thought the way you delivered the feedback was always kind yet informative and this encouraged everyone else to give kind and informative feedback as well.”

“Just wanted to say a big Thank you! I definitely left your course feeling much more confident. I found the feedback you gave us amazing. It was great to take something away each week that we could work on for the following.”

“I was one of the participants and I absolutely LOVED Lee’s course. I highly recommend it to anyone, no matter your level of public speaking experience. Thank you Lee, you’re amazing.”

“ As horrific as it was at the time, the video speech I found to be the most helpful. It was fascinating to watch myself (in all my speedy glory!) and to see how I come across when speaking - def a lot to work on there!
I felt very supported. I was so nervous on the first couple of nights, especially seeing some of the group being actually so good at speaking! But you created such a warm and safe atmosphere it was really not so terrifying as we went on. And it was actually a real eye opener for me to see that even though someone may appear confident they may also be struggling for whatever reasons.
The feedback was great, super helpful. I enjoyed that you let the whole group give feedback also.
- I can't think of anything improvement wise. I actually just wish the course was a bit longer as I feel like I still have a long way to go haha, but maybe that's just my situation. ”

" I have had time to reflect over this week and a part of me missed coming to ‘class’ and seeing everyone and getting out of my comfort zone.

On reflection of the course it exceeded my expectations on what I thought I would learn.  I not only gained new skills to grow my self confidence in public speaking but also learnt a lot about myself and my abilities, being kind to myself and also it will be ok.

It was so much fun and enabling and I would so recommend you and the course to anyone wishing to venture this path.  It was very safe, fun and your enthusiasm was very contagious. You have great skills in listening and reading people and understanding their journey and giving them space around that. "

" Three things I enjoyed most about the course:
1. I liked how the course involved real people, physically present. The handbook you provided was a great resource that was made even better by the fact that you facilitated the teaching so well.  Rather than self-managed learning it was invaluable to have you there teaching us in a group setting and making the teaching individual to us all.  The supportive environment you created made me feel better about my failings and encouraged me to try my best in somewhat challenging circumstances.
2.  It was short, direct and to the point.  No mucking about.  We dived straight in - didn't dwell on anything too much and got straight to work. I also appreciated the kind but assertive way you encouraged us to improve.
3.  Meeting new people! "

“ The Speak with Confidence course provided a safe fun arena to be able to try things that I otherwise could not have done myself in normal life situations. We were given plenty of opportunities to prepare a speech and to be able to present it in front of an audience. It has given me some very useful tools to use in preparation for public speaking including tips on how to reduce / control & use nerves, also how to use the ‘pause’ to my advantage. I have learned some very handy skills to apply when in conflicting situations with people which I have used with great success. This course has noticeably improved my public speaking confidence and in turn has improved my own self confidence as well. ”
