Next dates: Thursday & Friday 13-14 October 2022

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?

You find an expert practitioner with a track record of achievement in helping people change their relationship with public speaking for the better.

Meet Amanda Fleming - self-confessed former public speaking phobic and now 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.

“I did the programme myself and I’ve been speaking in public professionally since forever. I came away with useful feedback, new tips and tools, and a refreshed approach. What I witnessed though was mind blowing - total transformation in people who had arrived genuinely terrified of public speaking.”

~ Cara Tipping Smith, Director, The Business Hive

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.
