Confident Speakers
The Confident Speakers Programme is based on 3 main principles
Skill
Developing the skills to speak and listen with purpose equips you to be a great communicator in any situation.
So often we are held back by our fear of speaking. And it’s not just us who loses out when we don’t have the confidence to speak.
But communication skills are not just about confidence. It’s a skill that can be learnt and this course will help you find the skills that fit your personal style perfectly. Everyone’s different!
Learn by doing
To overcome nerves and truly find out what works for us in public speaking, we need practice, practice, practice.
That’s why on this communication skills course you find out some useful techniques, see them in action, try them out for yourself and then decide which are for you.
Oh and yes you’ll get some wonderful, personal feedback on what works really well for you.
Strengths
I spent the first 50 years of my life trying to correct why weaknesses. Then I came across some research that proves we find things easier and we do things better when we use our strengths not our weaknesses!
So, on this communication skills course you find your personal strengths and focus on these to get the results you want. It’s so much more comfortable and effective!

The Thinking Behind What We Do
The Confident Business programme takes workplace communication training in your business to another level by creating a business culture where everyone can engage with confidence.
The programme is underpinned by researched methodologies that increase personal self-confidence whilst developing the skills that all great communicators use to achieve connection, influence and impact.
The live communication training is specifically designed to be invigorating and intense for participants and they will find themselves fully engaged with their colleagues throughout the 2 hour sessions.
Our trainers are professionals in their fields. This is not theorising, it is practical, hands-on training delivered by people who use these skills in their everyday professional lives. On the programme you can expect to have expertise shared by a linguist, a voice-over artist, presenter, actor, sports commentator, digital recording expert and a world-class keynote speaker.
The pedagogy is based on proven learning techniques that take participants through a powerful cycle of input, experimentation and feedback. Learning works best for us all when it is delivered in chunks with carefully timed intervals between sessions. The Confident Business Programme is delivered this way online and in-person.
Add to this the personal strength assessments and positive team building environment and you can see why this programme is so highly rated by businesses wanting to improve connection and communication across their organisations.
