Speaking at a presentation, meeting, for a website video, media interview, at a wedding or private event?
Our training for public speaking is tailored to your needs. We'll help you overcome anxiety, use stories and start to enjoy - yes, enjoy - speaking in public. We'll show you how to gain clarity, be relevant and engage your audience. Our one-on-one public speaking training sessions are designed to help you feel competent, confident and energised. For corporates, our workshops & small group training help managers and employees gain presentation & speaking skills in a team environment. And what's more - have fun learning!
Would you like to speak in public with confidence?
As a young actress in both New Zealand and Australia I was often sick to my stomach with nerves. I was in good company. Many actors - Richard Burton, Stephen Fry, Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, Scarlet Johanssen - have suffered from stage fright. Like them, I had to learn to harness the butterflies and use the adrenaline to give me energy, pace and focus. It's true. You can learn to lose the fear, create presence and engage an audience.
No matter how confident they might seem, speaking in public is a challenge for most people. Through our work with both corporate and individual clients, we have found lack of experience is no bar to gaining confidence in a few intensive sessions. Motivation is key.
Do your presenting skills need polishing?
Whether you need to learn the basics or polish existing skills to a new level, we provide a safe, supportive public speaking training environment to bring about a confident transformation in speaking, presentation and media communication skills. And we will ensure your presentation does not suffer 'Death by Powerpoint'. We use proven techniques to unlock people's potential and - we guarantee results.
Are you comfortable talking to the media - or a camera?
We show you how to turn a dull, boring delivery into a more engaging one for TV, radio, print and digital and website viewers. We will help you master sound bites, use stories and get clarity in messages. We can advise on body language - including dress and make-up. Your image is an important part of your message in media, website and business presentations.
Enjoy the benefits of:
- A fast response service for that last minute business presentation, meeting or interview and for special personal events - wedding speech, birthday speech or eulogy.
- A mobile service - we travel where you need us when you need us.
- Training customised to your needs. And we can train your in-house trainers.
The following video outlines what I can do for you in helping you to learn to enjoy public speaking.

Jane's Blogg on public speaking
Simple
"If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein
Einstein sums up one of the basic rules of speaking.
So when you prepare your next speech/presentation make sure you:
Strategic Story Telling
On strategic storytelling - ‘Tell to Win’ author and business guru Peter Guber describes purposeful storytelling as a ‘Trojan Horse’. An audience takes in a good story not realising they’ve received the teller’s hidden message. Sneaky? Maybe. But it works.

Feelings
You’ve probably heard the old maxim ‘people may forget what you said, and they may forget what you did, but they will never, ever forget how you made them feel.’

Plain English
From Mary S. Lovell’s book: ‘The Churchills’
‘An American general once drafted a speech and asked Churchill to go through it. Churchill gave it a dim report.
“What if, instead of ‘We shall fight them on the beaches’ I had said ‘Hostilities will be engaged with our adversary on the coastal perimeter?” ‘
Use plain English if you want your message both understood AND REMEMBERED!
