Testimonials

 

Gemma Requena

“I met Michael in a taster session years ago and that day something changed inside me…

I followed his courses but for different reasons couldn’t join them until I saw the opportunity of this Public Speaking course on Saturdays. I must confess, that have been 4 tough days of intense mixed feelings. Every day in class you are exposed, vulnerable, and terrified but surprisingly, a moment after you feel absolutely exultant, confident, and calm as you know you can do it, and you know you can do it better every day. Mike led us smoothly through the process of knowing our fears, our inner thoughts and feelings, building our confidence day by day to ultimately let us be ourselves in front of the audience, and it is only that authenticity what will make you a good speaker. Don’t miss this course!! Mike, THANK YOU!”

Andy Topp

“A proper in depth look at the root cause of fear of public speaking. Mike deals with the fundamentals rather than learning tricks to disguise the fear. That's not to say he doesn't give you tips to help you through but once you have a better and deeper understanding of the issue, the quick win tips are less necessary. And then it was just a lot of FUN which I have never before said about public speaking. Thanks Mike”

Tanya Korobka

“I attended Mike's taster session and in the first 5 minutes of listening to him, I was SOLD! His life philosophy and public speaking techniques are so authentic and playful, you just totally lose yourself in them. Having just finished the course, I can honestly assure that it was the best thing I did for myself this year. Worth every penny and more!  We were vulnerable, passionate, authoritative, spontaneous and with each session, I found myself dropping my mask, becoming less self-conscious and most importantly – actually connecting with the audience (which has been difficult before). Mike's course is more than just a public speaking course, it's a form therapy - it helps you to find yourself, own yourself and become more honest and present with all your communications – be it with friends, acquittances or colleagues”
