Fear of Public Speaking Courses London  Workshops
  • Do you suffer from any of the following?
  • Lack of confidence
  • Profuse sweating
  • Uncontrollable nerves
  • A racing heartbeat
  • Dizziness
  • Breathing problems

If it's your desire to overcome the fear and enjoy the rest of your life as a confident speaker, please read on... because we have the skills to positively change your life.

Why is this important to my future?

Effective communication skills are the cornerstone of personal success. Brilliant ideas that are not expressed with conviction, will remain just brilliant ideas. Without effective communication skills it is unlikely that you will be able to fulfil your potential as an individual. All it takes is one phone call to Vince Stevenson on: 07731-876304 or by email vince@collegeofpublicspeaking.co.uk and you'll be on your personal journey to a new and more rewarding life.

Our award winning instructors help you to overcome your fears of presentation. We help you to build your confidence and your rapport with the audience so that they want to hear what you have to say. We help you to use your voice and structure your presentations so that audiences remain engaged.

Throughout the day, your self-esteem and self-confidence is incrementally built so that by the end of the workshop, your newly found skills will begin to resonate in all aspects of your life. The techniques we deploy are tried, trusted and highly successful.

Many of these sessions are videoed and played back to the group for individual and group evaluation. This technique is one of the most powerful available and when deployed with frankness and sensitivity provides startling results. Additionally, we offer six months of continued mentoring to assist and support you throughout this transitional period.

Confidentiality

Our service is completely confidential. Invoices state only Public Speaking Course, date and venue, nor do we use the term 'fear' in any email communication. The testimonials below are all from people who wanted to share the success of the course with others. Some of the names were changed on request.

Wedding Speeches

One of the greatest causes of stress leading up the wedding day is the groom's speech.

With all the arrangements, stag nights and other organisational complexities, the groom's speech can easily become something of a last minute add-on.

Stress in speaking is usually induced by a lack of purpose, a lack of preparation, and a lack of speaking technique. The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way. In a few short hours, you can have the help, support and expertise required to craft a memorable wedding speech.

Remember that this is a one off occasion and your words, humour and sincerity will probably be videod and played back hundreds of times over the coming years. Finding structure, balance and appropriate content for your speech is all important.

Make your new wife and all of your family and friends proud of you. Give them an enduring memory that will last for the right reasons.

Why not give Vince a call and arrange a wedding speech 1-2-1? It will be your speech, but Vince will guide you through the major components and essential attributes and give help and advice on the tone and delivery.

These one day workshops run regularly in London. Please check here for Fear of Public Speaking Courses. There is a maximum of eight delegates to ensure that attendees receive individual attention and take opportunities to practise new techniques. The cost per delegate is £200 + VAT for a one day course. To reserve your place on this popular workshop please contact Vince on 07731-876304 or by email: vince@collegeofpublicspeaking.co.uk

Client Testimonials - stay posted for more

'Dear Vince, Many thanks indeed for the excellent course you ran yesterday (and for letting me attend it at such short notice). I found it really helpful and I'm so pleased I managed to make it through the presentation sessions even though I was dreading them - all your tips were really constructive, so thanks very much indeed. It was also great to meet such a supportive group of people. I'm going to keep practising as much as possible to help me prepare for the 11th of May when I have to do my much dreaded work presentation! Your course has certainly given me the push and motivation I needed for facing up to and over-coming the fear! I will certainly check out the resources you've sent so thanks for those too. With very best wishes.'

Dr Carol Davey - Gravesend

'Dear Vince, Thank you so much for running a great course a week or so ago. I got a lot out of it and really enjoyed meeting the other people in the group. It's important to be in a supportive but fun environment for that kind of thing, and I thought it worked well. Thanks for the resource links and attachments. I'll take a very close look at your recommendations and I'll do my best to put what I'll learned into practice!'

Kate Benny - West Midlands

'This course has had an amazing impact on me. I expected it to be sombre in terms of working with negative emotions. But it was fun, even joyous and incredibly effective.'

Maurice Leon - Paris - Pharmaceuticals

'It was the incredible trainer. No, it was the outstanding venue. No, it was the phenominal group dynamic. Perhaps it was all three that has given me this renewed faith in myself. '

Francesco Alonso - Valladolid (Spain) - International Banking

'Dear Vince, I'm so glad I came on the course. A few months have passed and I have delivered some effective presentations in that time and I feel like a different person in terms of confidence, pride and personal achievement. I have followed your guidance it it works well for me. Many thanks...'

Mohamud Al - Journalist

'I came on the course because I was dreading a major conference speech in Amsterdam. I delivered that in mid-December and my Director was very proud of what I achieved having attended this course as initially my confidence had been so low. I really appreciated the support and insights of the trainer as well as the other members of the group who were all rooting for me to do well.'

Clara Debel - Ashford

'The opportunity to present in front of a supportive audience gave me confidence and removed a large part of my nervousness. I'm sure it will stand up well when I put it into practice. The course was coherent in structure.'

Nathan Smith - London

'The nerve calming techniques really work. The visualisation and grounding exercises made me feel calm and strong. I feel so more confident already.'

Sadie Jones - Wimbledon

'Since attending the course, I feel like a completely different person; more confident, relaxed and easy going. I gave a speech at work last week and it went so so well.'

Ben Harding - Godalming

'There was a good amount of theory and ample chance to practise speaking in front of the group. Now I know the techniques involved and how to apply them, I won't feel the fear in future.'

Jen Jacobs - Epping

'It's all in my mind. There's no need to be nervous. We all said we were afraid of speaking, but we all did it really well. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy.'

Glyn Nichols - Sevenoaks

'The feedback and support was always objective, supportive and constructive. Thanks Vince - it's already made a difference.'

Andy Parks - Dorking

'I have read the books and none of them made any sense. Now it's all in context, it's not so daunting. Thanks Vince '

Rachel Allott - Docklands

'I made the change. I made the difference. I just needed some guidance on how to do it. I'm grateful.'

Frances Holt - Occupational Therapist - London

'The intensity of my fear has gone. This is the best thing I have ever done.'

Dan Hynes - Engineering graduate - Edinburgh

'I have set far too many limitations on myself over many years. At last the shackles have been removed and I feel free. I can now concentrate on others and not on myself.'

Jane Hussein - Healthworker - West Sussex

'The fear is gone. Not only can I make a presentation - I can do it really well.'

John Eden - IT Manager - West Midlands

'I can't believe I volunteered to tell a joke in front of the group. I have never told a joke in my life. It's a great experience to hear people's laughter. I now realise that the audience are with me, not against me.'

Rishi Patel - Hotel Security Officer - Ealing
