Fear-less Public Speaking

I highly recommend this course for anyone with high levels of anxiety. I chose Catherine’s course because it seemed less ‘corporate’ than other courses, focusing instead on how to address the intense physical feelings of nervousness associated with public speaking. It was more than I could have hoped for and was so much fun to be part of a supportive, motivational group of people with exactly the same fear as me. Catherine is very knowledgeable and encouraging and I came away with a new self-confidence I didn’t realise I had.

I signed up for this course as I've had a lifelong battle with the fear of public speaking. As my career progresses, the need to speak publically continuously increases and so I decided to tackle my fears head on by participating in this course!Catherine is fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, she genuinely cares about you and does everything she can to support and encourage you to succeed. The course is extremely well structured and you will see and feel your confidence grow every week. Our group of people were fantastic, encouraging and supportive and it was a joy to see their own progress and confidence grow throughout the course.If you have a fear of public speaking, sign up today, you will learn so much, grow your self confidence and feel great within yourself for doing so.

Recently completing 7 weeks course with Catherine left me feeling excited for my future public speaking engagements! I would highly recommend this program that is packed with useful practical theory, helpful written material and opportunities to do speakingengagements in a friendly judgment free environment. Catherine has a very warm welcoming personality, she is very knowledgeable in what she does. I was lookingforward to each class we had, whole set up was fantastic. Big thank you!

One of the best courses I have ever done. Taught me so much about myself and built my confidence right back up. Catherine creates a great, safe space to just get out there and try. She focuses on becoming comfortable as a speaker but also gives great tips on what a good public speaker looks like. Cannot recommend enough :)

I enrolled in this course in order to prepare to give a wedding speech. I initially did the course online, but enjoyed it so much and got so much out of it that I decided to do it again in person. In both cases the groups were fantastic – loads of laughs and tons of supportive comments. This course seems specifically geared toward people who have a phobia of public speaking but are maybe not yet ready to take the plunge and join a Toastmasters club etc. As such it brings together people from a wide-range of backgrounds who have at least two things in common – a heightened level of anxiety or uncertainty about speaking in public, and a determination to overcome it. Catherine provides a huge amount of material and advice, and is consistently supportive. She goes over a wide range of tools that can be used to overcome nerves, structure presentations better and so on, and provides a non-judgmental environment in which to practice them, at an undemanding pace. I honestly cannot recommend this course highly enough.

I've been looking for a course like this for a long time to address what had become a very limiting fear of public speaking. I'd done one other course before but it didn't quite hit the mark. This course was perfectly balanced for me and it seemed many others. Catherine's approach is very down to earth and honest but also extremely practical and effective. The course was well run and structured and I would gladly recommend this course to anyone. Tony

Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to improve their public speaking skills. I learnt a lot and look forward to putting into practice further the skills I learnt. Catherine is also wonderful too :)

Great class - Catherine is a very supportive teacher. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to increase their confidence in public speaking.

Fantastic course with small numbers. Would highly recommend to people at all levels. Finished the course more confident and with a full toolkit on how to handle my nerves and how to prepare a great speech. Catherine is a wonderful teacher, knows her stuff and provides constructive feedback. Do it!!

I enrolled in this course to help with a big in-person client presentation and it was the best thing I've ever done for myself.I was a nervous wreck for the client presentation and if I was going to be the worst speaker in the course and look like a fool. I didn't need to worry at all! We did 3 presentations in total and I could feel and see my confidence and delivery improve when comparing my first one to my third.Catherine was an amazing teacher and she created a safe, supportive and encouraging environment for us to learn and grow. I ended up nailing the client presentation all thanks to Catherine and this course!
