Participated in the Speech Coaching Business Programme
Excellent programme
Great coaching
Team feedback meant we learned from others
I went from being scared to talk to the audience to becoming very relaxed and confident
Learned the tools to use for structuring a speech
Plenty of practical application
Repeated exposure over the 5 weeks helped me become less stressed about presenting
Learned that making the presentation personal, looking at people, planning the speech and linking content makes great presentations!
All tips can be applied to use
I liked the specific homework requirements and work-related speeches
I gained greater confidence in giving work presentations to colleagues, the public and councillors
I learned how to use PowerPoint well, how to use pace and pause well and how to manage nervous breathlessness
It really helped having presentations critiqued
Loved the impromptu speeches
Relaxed and comfortable sessions
I built up my confidence in public speaking
Received great tools for future speeches
Evaluations and self-evaluations were helpful
Loved the sessions being so interactive
