Our 1 Day Stand up and Speak course will introduce you to the three key elements of successful public speaking and teach you how to communicate with Clarity, Confidence and Courage.

On this practical course you will not only learn how in a relaxed and fun setting, but also have plenty of opportunities to practice in a safe and encouraging environment of no more than 10 people.

You will learn how to:

Speak with Clarity

Speak clearly - How to use your voice to communicate clearly including tone, projection, pace and diction

Script - How to write a script that will tell people what they need to hear in a way that makes them want to listen

The course provided me with a clear path - breaking down the job of creating a script into bite sized chunks - and the opportunity to practice. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to create their story, get clarity and build their confidence.
