AUT Course Review

AUT speaking courses with Speak Confidently

AUT recently engaged Speak Confidently to run two speaking skills courses for our staff.  My own observation and feedback from the participants confirms the high quality and professionalism in the delivery of these courses.  

 

The course is well-structured and engaging, offering a supportive environment where participants are encouraged to develop their overall confidence in public speaking. Gaye and Rochelle, the facilitators from Speak Confidently, bring a wealth of experience.  Content is delivered with clarity, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for helping others succeed.

 

Throughout the course practical exercises, feedback, and speaking opportunities ensured that participants could apply their new, and enhanced  skills.

 

I would highly recommend this course to individuals or organisations seeking to improve their own or their team members’ presentation skills.   Speak Confidently delivers a valuable and transformative experience for anyone aiming to communicate with greater impact and confidence.

Worldline Review

​I highly recommend the "Speak Confidently" public speaking skills session, as our staff found it both enjoyable and incredibly beneficial, gaining practical tools to boost their confidence and improve storytelling.

 

The engaging group activities, impromptu exercises, and expert facilitation truly empowered participants to refine their voice, focus on their message, and step out of their comfort zones with positive feedback all around.
