Here’s how the course worked for Hannah, Andy and Helen.
-
“I signed up for the course because I was absolutely terrified of an upcoming speech. The course taught me how to get comfortable with those fears and not see them as signposts that I’ll fail. Now I can breathe into those feelings and get up and speak...and I’m actually starting to really enjoy it! The course has helped me SO much and if anyone is on the fence, I would say go for it. You won't regret it”.
Hannah McKibbin

“A proper in depth look at the root cause of fear of public speaking. The course deals with the fundamentals rather than learning tricks to disguise the fear. That's not to say it 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”
Andy Topp

“I’d really really recommend this course! I was apprehensive about spending the money at first, but if you commit to the course, it is absolutely worth it. I felt that the focus on vulnerability / authenticity was really important in getting to the root of what causes my public speaking anxieties. Rather than teaching us to put on a mask and pretend to be someone else/hide our fear, Adam taught us to embrace them - and reframing my perspective like this I've found really useful. This course feels it really gets to the core of what makes us tick/anxious about public speaking, rather than just giving us techniques to fake it. I would wholeheartedly recommend!”
Helen Spooner
“This is so much more than just a public speaking course”
Why this course is radically different.
Most public speaking focus on “fake it until you make it”
But this only deals with “appearing” confident.
Public Speaking for Beginners does it differently.
This live online course combines elements of…
voice technique and body language
acting training and improvisation
breathing, meditation and mindfulness
Western psychology and Eastern philosophies
…to create a unique, holistic method that’s fit for the modern world.
It helps you connect to your individuality, to others and to your audience.
This comes through openness, embracing vulnerability, and daring to be yourself.
We believe learning to be vulnerable is the cornerstone of developing true confidence.
If there’s nothing to hide, there’s nothing to fear.
So whether you suffer from anxiety when speaking in front of others, or you’re a performer, actor or leader, this course helps you get out of your head and truly connect.

4 Week Live Public Speaking for Beginners Online
Virtual Public Speaking Training for Beginners.
Designed for beginners, here are the details of our 4-week Online Public Speaking Course, week by week.
Week 1:
We begin by sharing our empowering philosophy on confidence. This’ll be your road map for the 4 weeks. Equipping you to better deal with your anxiety and public speaking nerves.
You’ll explore the ‘V’ word - vulnerability. How this will become your SUPER POWER.
As part of a supportive team, you’ll dive into our unique exercises that gently encourage you to peel off your ‘fear armour’ and be vulnerable. With fun and laughs!
You can do it with your eyes shut, but now discover the right way to breathe
You’ll start speaking in front of the group little by little
Week 2:
You have a powerful voice, it’s time to share it! You’ll learn how to project your voice with exercises that get you speaking with passion and energy (picture an Italian talking about pasta!)
Discover how resonance will make your speaking larger than life
All that nervous, tense energy you have? . . . You’ll learn how to transform it into confident power
Week 3:
You’ll learn the 5 BLPs (body language principles). You’ll play and experiment with these. Using not just your words, but your whole body
You’ll discover an expressiveness you never knew was there. And how to use it in real life
We’ll introduce you to the power of narrative
You’ll deliver your first short speech to the group on a themed topic
Week 4
You’ll learn how to be memorable for all the right reasons. Using emotion you’ll transform your message and make people want to hear more
You’ll become a powerful communicator who touches people’s hearts. And when it comes to the way you communicate, this will change everything for you!
You’ll deliver a final prepared speech on a topic of your choice, an opportunity to put EVERYTHING you’ve learnt into action. And of course, finish with a round of applause.
Reading this, my guess is you’re feeling a mix of emotions?
A weird curiosity, a voice in your head saying - ‘Am I really capable of this?’
Yes you are.
And we’re with you every step of the way.
