What past participants say:

"The overall experience of the course far surpassed my expectations. I came in hoping to gain some valuable insights and tips for better public speaking, but what I received was so much more. I developed a newfound confidence in my ability to communicate effectively, learned how to captivate an audience, and discovered strategies for managing nerves and overcoming stage fright.

I would recommend this effective speaking course to anyone looking to enhance their communication abilities. It's not just another course; it's a transformative experience that will empower you to become a more confident and persuasive speaker. " Alex Goryachev, New Zealand Green Building Council

“This course not only met my expectations, but it completely exceeded them. This has been one of the most transformative courses I’ve attended. Jane totally revolutionised the way I now approach presentations. Having felt fear in the past each time I have to present to large groups, for the first time I now feel like I have the tools, understanding and ability to approach presentations and conquer my fear. I can’t thank Jane enough.” Nadia Marsh, Head of Bids, Tonkin & Taylor

"I have never been in such a well-run course (I've done a lot) Jane was amazing she held our attention from start to finish each day. I feel we all learnt so much and I will definitely be taking her advice on how I can improve myself. This course was well above what I expected, Jane had a great way of communicating. Typically, people tune out or lose interest by the end of the day. This was not the case for us. I honestly thing it’s the best course I’ve been on in my 4 years with WCC." Joshua Harding, Team Leader Consents, Wellington City Council

“The course is awesome. The balance between talk time, practical learning and feedback is perfect. The trainer really made the course for me - she is sensitive and responsive to people’s needs and is genuine in her approach to give the learners as much out of the time as possible. A very polished and well-planned course.” Huia Grey, Department of Conservation

"After reading many books it was great to finally learn an effective and no fuss way of creating a presentation that looks professional and won't put the client to sleep. I can see how the SpeakerMap will be a valuable tool for creating my trainings and presentations in the future. Thanks for the opportunity to present, the feedback I received was really valuable." Shannan Clarke - Business Development Leader - Front-Line Training
