The Art of Public Speaking

Speakership is a corporate and individual public speaking course helping you communicate confidently and persuasively
Why the Art of Public speaking?
Storytelling is creative and powerful delivery can be visual, auditory and sensory.

Learn and improve social & personal communication, present better, tell better stories and be more confident at social and work gatherings. Whatever the challenge, (formal presentation, group discussion, business meeting, sales confrontation, employment interview) or even personal (wedding, group participation, charity and volunteering, social interaction) - the programs can improve your art...
Gradual Exposure
Overcome public speaking fear with gradual exposure, in a supportive environment. We have been helping individuals and professionals, sometimes with moderate to severe public speaking issues, become dynamic, confident communicators in virtually any speaking situation.

We all have a natural ability to connect, yet so many of us shy away from the spotlight as we hold a fear that feels insurmountable.
4 x4 Program
Through steps designed to change our beliefs and taking small steps we realise most of us are simply untrained in how to best harness our speaking power.

If you speak well - you can persuade well, help others to see what you see, understand better and train better. No matter the program - all the courses cover the Speakership 4x4: mindset, the connection to the audience, the content, and, most importantly how to deliver!!!
