Confident Speakers
The Confident Speakers Programme is based on 3 main principles
Skill
Developing the skills to speak and listen with purpose equips your team to be great communicators in any situation. Often non-native speakers mistakenly believe this is about grammar and pronunciation and native speakers believe either you have the gift of the gab or you don’t!
Our workplace communication course challenges both those common misconceptions.
These are skills that are honed through guidance, practice and feedback. All three are available in bucket loads on Confident Speakers!
Shared standards
The way you do things in your business, your character and culture ultimately rely on a set of shared values and standards. Confident Speakers sets a standard in how your people listen to each other. People who attend the course learn first-hand that quality communications reap rewards. These standards and the benefits they bring to your company last long after the course ends.
Keeping it real
Lots has been discussed recently about bringing your authentic self to work. Confident Speakers helps your people find their individual natural communication style and then backs this up with solid communication techniques that work for that individual.
There are hundreds of techniques that can be used to communicate. the trick is to find the handful that work really well for you!

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.
