For some people, public speaking is their absolute worst nightmare. For others, it’s a necessary evil that they wish they were better at doing and yet, for others, it’s a super comfortable zone where they excel. How do you go from feeling one to the other?

That’s a process and one that’s best encountered with an experienced practitioner who’s actually been through it herself. That practitioner is Amanda Fleming. Once upon a time the thought of public speaking horrified her. Decades later, she’s one of New Zealand’s leading transformational facilitators in this space. If you’re ready to begin, improve or excel in presenting or public speaking… this is the programme for you.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Overwhelmingly, feedback shows this programme is a very safe and stimulating way to explore a traditionally challenging topic resulting in often profound shifts in confidence and competence.

Authenticity is key and this course is designed to bring out the best speaker in you, your way. Participants explore the underlying causes of the common fears relating to ‘public speaking and presenting’ in a safe, stimulating and non-critical environment. We also get to learn some tools and tips to help deliver better, enjoy presenting more and achieve better outcomes from the ‘room’.

Although there is no compulsory part in the programme, participants will have opportunities to be filmed. No play-backs are done in session.

FEEDBACK

The course was incredible… it was insightful, thought provoking, challenging and humbling. It put you in a position where you were outside your comfort zone and vulnerable – but in a good way. It provided a safe environment to test new skills and receive constructive feedback – it changed the way I perceive work, customers… and interactions with others...[and has improved] my overall confidence and self-respect.
