I found this course to be very informative, helped greatly that I could improve public speaking confidentially.

Claire delivered the course that felt safe and inclusive allowing me to tell my story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course – Claire is an excellent trainer.

Great tool to help those with public speaking.

I would highly recommend this course as it has given me confidence and built trust in myself. The trainer was amazing and friendly and did not feel intimidating at all. The reflective workbook helped solidify the learnings.

Claire set the pace at the right pitch and tone.

Even though I facilitate in some way, it gave me good structure and built confidence in myself.

I would recommend this program. It provides clear, practical information and helps develop important skills for speaking and facilitation.
