What our students are saying
Dalibor Buranda
“School of Connection and their workshop led by Adam Hanim was excellent opportunity for me to wake up my imagination, get out off my head and for a moment to forget all the troubles we all have in our lives and work with so many different people on approaching how to be effectively vulnerable and better at public speaking skills. Thank you for wonderful insight into your work!”
Kristīne Šica
“Definitely the best public speaking workshop I have been on! It’s much more than just improving your public speaking skills, it takes a deeper look into the subject, in terms of fears, and humanity. Mike’s approach and techniques is really about to gain a deep understanding to unlock your authentic self. It was transformative! Highly recommended!”
Ashleigh Heaney
“I attended the taster the other evening and definitely think there’s a lot to learn. From just attending the taster you get that drive of wanting to work on self-development and growth. There’s a lot more to public speaking than just speaking in front of a crowd. Would definitely recommend this!”
