TESTIMONIALS
My dislike of public speaking meant I found the sessions challenging, and was definitely out of my comfort zone 😊, I signed up to improve my skills and find ways to better deal with my nerves during a speech situation. Being with others who struggled with this helped too helped, as we started on the same page. Debs was supportive, encouraging and gave us feedback in a respectful manner. I became more self-aware of what I was doing or not doing. I learnt how to better structure a presentation / speech and what was important… preparation, practice, practice, practice and to be myself. Completing 5 sessions hasn’t made me an expert, but I have learnt a lot and it is up to me to continue building on that.
While I found it challenging at the start, what I learnt each week helped me to get better and build confidence.
Debs was supportive and encouraging and kept everything real. I appreciated her honesty and feedback.
I improved my self-awareness of use of fillers (ahs / ums) when speaking. I will focus on keeping communication simple and not getting carried away with all the details.
The key thing I got from participating was how to give presentations effectively. I will use the tools I have learnt to improve communication delivery at meetings etc.
I found the mind mapping tool the most useful and interesting as it enabled me to better structure my speeches as well as reducing the need to use lots of notes.
I can truly recommend Debs, she was professional, fun to work with and made me feel totally comfortable. Thank you, Debs, you have given me the tools I needed to deliver presentations with more confidence.
Excellent – nice organised structure with practical examples giving me much more self-awareness in public speaking and submissions. It helped me keep to time and keep my presentation relevant as well as presenting concise speeches.
I now understand how to structure a speech, mind-mapping to get key points across. The programme was very beneficial and look forward to putting it into practice.
Excellent programme. Well-structured and with a good level of preparation in between sessions. The feedback was very valuable as were the tips and size of the group was just about right.
Provided practice in a great environment. Key points to take away are all the areas I need to be aware of when speaking and where I can improve and build on. I found the prepared and impromptu speeches and feedback useful. It was an extremely valuable programme for me and something I had been meaning to do.
