Authentic Public Speaking Courses with Presence Reviews

This training gave me confidence in a new range of skills and has significantly increased my confidence speaking in public. I appreciated the environment and Daniel's attitude in practising everything he was telling us. Before signing up, I was concerned that I might feel awkward, although the training might be old-fashioned or not useful. That could not be further from the truth! The training follows a great structure, with all the exercises link and makes sense as you move from one to the other. I feel the course was full of general life skills, not just public speaking. They all help you feel equipped in different situations. Thank you!

This course offered a practical, repeatable method to connect with people when speaking to a group. I appreciated the focus on the most difficult aspects of creating connection, especially eye contact, 'being with' the people in the audience, and dealing with distractions. I've been aware of this course for about ten years, waiting for the right moment to jump in and take it, with the certain knowledge that I wouldn't find anything like it anywhere else. That's because it offers something genuinely unique: a course in how to create that sense of connection with people, authentically, that is a precondition for any successful communication, no matter who you are, who your audience is, or what you want to say. Daniel is a great teacher and I warmly recommend this course.

On this training, I learnt how to be more present and confident when public speaking. I really appreciated the pace of the course and I gained some really valuable skills across the two days, particularly engaging and connecting with an audience. It was great to put this into practice. Daniel is a fantastic coach and I also really liked the venue - it felt like a very comfortable environment. I would highly recommend this course!

Great workshop! extremely helpful, well structured and practical

I learned the value of connection over content in this training, and it has certainly increased my confidence speaking in public. I really enjoyed the pace, the techniques and the importance of the training gives to self-awareness. My company signed me up for this training, because several other people in the firm have enjoyed it, but I was already looking for something similar. I loved it! I want to keep exploring techniques on how to be more authentic and confident! Thank you.

I was a little bit terrified speaking in public before I signed up for this training, to be honest. I need to give a speech at my daughter's wedding and I've been dreading it. This training has certainly given me more confidence to make that speech. I really appreciated the techniques, the kind teaching, and the ability to practice before a group. Everything we learnt was very useful. I feel more inspired and confident following this course, so thank you!

I got tools to manage expectations of myself and my audience on this training and it has definitely increased my confidence. I appreciated that the pace was very measured, whilst covering a lot of ground. I also enjoyed the logical and scientific explanations of why things happen.  There were some exercises that made me uncomfortable, but it felt safe to be uncomfortable, so it was all good.  I've already recommended the course to my colleagues.

On this training, I learned that it's okay to be myself, be vulnerable, and even to let go. I definitely do feel significantly more confident as a result. I really appreciated the safe environment. I also enjoyed how connected I felt, and that I managed to connect to the other participants. I signed up for this training because a colleague recommended it to me. I'm glad that they did. Thank you. I am grateful.

This training gave me the push I needed, along with plenty of helpful support. I really enjoyed the breakdown of parts, learning about connecting with the audience, and the pace of the training. And it's certainly increased my confidence. I took this training because it was recommended to me by a colleague. That turned out to be a good recommendation! Thank you.

I really enjoyed the Foundation 1 course and learned a lot from Daniel. I really appreciated the safe space that was created, the gradual approach to development, and the thoughtful approach to everything we did. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend this training. It took me to my edge, and with Daniel's support I was able to overcome some blocks. I feel significantly more confident speaking in public as a result. I appreciated the practise, the science and the information, and it was all delivered so clearly. This is going to make a HUGE difference for me. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Daniel's training to anyone who wants to overcome their inner critic and learn to speak in a more calm, connected and kind way to themselves and others. I really enjoyed the embodied, active teaching style, the many references to current scientific-research and evidence, and the trusting and safe space curation. My confidence, curiosity and joy in speaking have definitely increased as a result of the training. Thank you so much!

This course gave me peace of mind, and I learned that it's okay to be vulnerable. I was already somewhat confident speaking in public before the training, but I feel much more confident as a result of what we learned. I really appreciated the small, intimate group, the safe and non-threatening space, the supportive group leader and the interesting challenges. There wasn't anything I didn't like - I could do another 2 days now! I'll do part 2 as soon as I can. A heartfelt thank you. I needed this!

This course gave me tools to help me manage my anxiety and my inner child. And as a result I do feel more confident. I appreciated that it was an immersive experience with practical exercises. There was nothing I didn't particularly like, but being video did make me feel uneasy. I expected us to watch our videos in the class, so I was pleasantly surprised when this was explained not to be the case! Thank you!

I learned on this training that being with your audience and yourself is more important than what you say. And my confidence has massively increased. I loved lots of things about this training - everything was broken down into bite-size pieces, this allowed me to experience and manage feeling uncomfortable, but in baby steps so I didn't freak out. The techniques you taught were great and really effective. There wasn't anything you could've done better. With all this training, I was fearful that I would be really bad at it, and everyone else would be better. That wasn't true. I just like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This training gave me confidence that my public speaking journey has started! I already feel considerably more confident as a result. The facilitator created a safe space, and provided solid foundations based on psychology. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wants to start their public speaking journey and/or connect more with their audience.

Great course

On this training/workshop, I learned how to stay connected with the audience and how to stay calm and composed during an unplanned speech or presentation. It also deepened my listening skills. My confidence has certainly increased as a result of this course. I really appreciate the exercises on maintaining eye contact and also the techniques for staying calm in front of the audience, using silence. I don't think there was anything you could've done better. Thank you!

This training has really made an impression on me - it gave me belief in myself, tools and confidence in a really safe space. I really appreciated the delivery style - measured, articulate, grounded in science, but also spiritual, delivered with personality and flare. I love this course, but wish I'd realised earlier that part 2 would also be so important/relevant. I'm looking to sign up to it ASAP! Thank you!

This course gave me the tools to become a much better public speaker – and a bit of practice! I really enjoyed the way the learnings and exercises made the progress into a series of small steps, each building on the last. This made it achievable and less daunting, the location really added the experience - it was great! Thank you.
