We all belong to prestigious speakers clubs and regulary deliver speeches. We also participate in National Competitions and therefore ensure that we keep our skills up to date.

Media Skills

Media Skills

The College of Public Speaking has made a reputation for itself working across multiple sectors in the fields of presentation skills training, executive speech coaching and train the trainer workshops.

We all know that speaking in front of a group of friends and family can be quite daunting for the average individual, more so for the team leader, manager or company director addressing a seminar, conference or shareholders’ meeting.

Live audiences

But this is nothing compared the sensation of speaking live on a television interview with perhaps four to five million viewers. Few people have experience of handling the lights and heat of the studio as well as the intensity of the questioning.

We have worked with several experienced speakers who are confident and consistent performers, that is until somebody pushes a television camera in their face. They can freeze, become petrified almost, and so losing control of their key messages and reason for being interviewed. They feel like they have become the eye of the storm and with a large audience watching them wilt, their effectiveness as company spokesman dwindles.

Pressure workout

At the College of Public Speaking we have produced the ultimate pressure workout for handling nerves, staying on theme and scoring points by coherently delivering your key messages with impact.

With a growing library of botched TV interview archives we calmly analyse what we want to achieve by setting clear success criteria and identify the bear traps that will swallow up and waste this fantastic opportunity.

Video feedback

Then we practice hard, multiple times in pressure situations utilising video feedback until we achieve our goals. Few people would choose to be quizzed by skilled interviewers in front of a massive audience, but for those that do, the College of Public Speaking is there to help.
