Why public speaking training is a game-changer for you
Only read on if you're open to the possibility that you can change your relationship with public speaking.
I'm assuming you're reading this because you've had a bad experience with public speaking or are trying to avoid one.
What do you want?
You want to do a good job and be respected and appreciated by your friends, family, and colleagues.
You want to be free of fear and anxiety. You want a good night's sleep and to live life on your terms. Ok, I can help you.
If I provide the instruction and a safe and supportive development environment, can I invite you to give me 100% of your professional experience and concentration?
Over the last twenty years, I've worked with thousands of students who have faced their demons and won the battle.
Do we have a deal?
I attract a remarkable array of incredibly receptive students across professional disciplines.
Here's why that's important - public speaking skills are essential for personal confidence and career advancement.
If you're stuck in first gear, you've contacted the right person.
It's like driving a car. It's a skill, and you learn it by practising what works.
You're not born to drive a car, and you're not born to become a good speaker.
You become a successful driver by taking lessons, practising, passing your test and driving safely.
You demonstrate control of the vehicle at all times. Do you think the same applies to public speaking?
With hard work and intelligent practice, you can become a great speaker.
What do I mean by intelligent practice? If you practice what works, your development is accelerated.
Do you know the saying 'Practice makes perfect?' What if you're practising the wrong thing?
You get better at getting worse.
So, you can become a confident speaker with practice, the correct tuition, and tools.
Public speaking skills can boost self-confidence in all areas of your life.
Strong communication skills are essential for effective leadership.
Do you have leadership qualities? Sharpen your communication skills and allow your inner leader to emerge.
I felt terrible about many things. I wrote my first book about it, The Fear Doctor.
Forty years later, with twenty-five years of classroom training experience, I can easily explain and demonstrate the mindset and techniques to help you turn the corner.
The major obstacles in public speaking are mostly misconceptions, like attempting to achieve impossible outcomes.
I attract many perfectionists, too. If you come along, you'll find out why that's important.
Most of my students have turned their backs on public speaking - handing their career opportunities to colleagues.
They feel guilty and alienated despite possessing the required personal and professional attributes. That's not the path to success - is it?
The antidote to anxiety is courage. Life is full of challenges and uncertainty - asking somebody on a date or a job interview, for example.
There are no guarantees in life. But to succeed, you must be in it to win it. There's only one way to experience and defeat these challenges: to face them.
Our events are interactive, fun, and confidence-building. They're the foundations of the new, more confident you.
The method is well-established, and it's worked for many years.
My name is Vince Stevenson (he/him), or 'The Fear Doctor'.
Are you motivated to overcome fear and enjoy life as a confident speaker?
I have the skills and experience to change your life and prospects.
I introduced the first 'fear of public speaking course' to London in 2006, and with over 15,000 delighted students, I have never looked back.
Question: What causes the fear of public speaking?
Answer: As we develop our lives and careers, we climb the ladders of personal and professional hierarchies. If you're lucky, you might escape the dreaded invitation to speak for a while. But there's no hiding place in the business world. You have to deliver, but are you prepared? This isn't your territory, and the shame of diminishing yourself in front of your peers is paralysing.
Solution: My 1-day and 2-day courses are designed to build confidence and clarity and change your relationship with public speaking forever. Developing a more consistent delivery technique will improve your confidence and future performance.
Public speaking is a skill, and I have developed tried-and-true methods for success. If you have a big event on the horizon, now is an excellent time to seek help.
Believe it or not, you might enjoy the process once you set a course for an improved public speaking outcome. As a trainer for more than 25 years, public speaking has been my most incredible tool in a fulfilling life and career. I wouldn't change anything.
So, are you still open to improving your relationship with public speaking?
Are you against committing to a course now? What are you waiting for? Don't procrastinate.

How would your career and life change in the next twelve months if you attended a public speaking course with me for a day or two in London?
Here's the truth: your fear is nothing more than a bully that dissipates when adequately confronted. It'll leave you free to enjoy the life and success you deserve.
Fear says others will laugh at you, that you're not good enough, that you're not worthy, that your speech will flop.
Fear says you cannot cope and lack preparation. You don't know what you're talking about, and nobody is interested.
Fear tells you your topic could be more exciting, and your points and examples are apparent and barely worth saying.
And as a result, fear holds you back, blocks your path to success, and prevents you from achieving your goals.
Good news - there is a solution - join me on one of my next fear of public speaking courses in London.
Having the correct strategy, techniques, and guidance to overcome your fears would be best.
And if you join me for just one day in our first-class training facility in King's Cross, London, I'll show you the winning techniques, including:
- How to build or rebuild your self-confidence
- How to focus nervous energy on positive outcomes
- The key to opening your speech with impact and confidence
- Breathing techniques that help you remain calm
- A 6-point checklist to help you speak with confidence
- Removing your uncertainty
- Tapping into your personality, creativity, and authenticity
- Practising correct posture, breathing, and relaxation
- Building confidence through interactive group exercises
- Creating a public speaking mindset for success
You'll get a unique understanding of the fear of public speaking and a bag of practical tools and techniques for future use.
Like all of our professional classes, our Fear of Public Speaking course is accredited by CIMA, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
CIMA's parent group Pearson is the world's most significant private educational concern.
We recognize the significant investment in your development, and it's usual for potential students to have questions to ensure they sign up for the correct course. If that sounds right, contact Rachel on +44 (0) 330 043 2677 or email admin@collegeofpublicspeaking.co.uk.
What's the difference between the 1 and 2-day public speaking courses?
On the 2-day public speaking course, you receive an extra day of theoretical input, deliver more speech practice, receive expert feedback, and be exposed to mindset techniques.
The one-day public speaking course is intense and high-paced. The two-day course is more reflective, as we have extra time to explore each individual's situation.
Public speaking course sizes & times:
Our class sizes range from 4 to 10 people, giving everybody sufficient time for numerous short speeches and feedback.
Courses start at 9:30 and end at 5 pm. 45 minutes for lunch. It's a fun and intensive day.
How to find the venue
Our public speaking course runs from Voluntary Action Islington, the voluntary hub of Islington Council, a ten-minute walk from King's Cross station.
Voluntary Action Islington, 200A Pentonville Road, King's Cross, London, N1 9JP.
Please download the amenities details document, which includes maps and outlines of local amenities such as hotels, restaurants, and places of local interest.
From King's Cross station, turn left and walk down Pentonville Road to Killick Street. The office is 30 yards past the Tian Tian Market shop on the corner.
There are two doors. Press the buzzer on the right-hand door, and the receptionist will invite you to the 2nd floor.
Final Consideration:
In 2004, Unilever launched The Dove (soap) 'Real Beauty Campaign'. Their research discovered that only 2% of women worldwide described themselves as 'beautiful'.
The 'fear of public speaking' reflects your inner beauty and perceived competence. I'm no oil painting, but I don't care. That's just a minor facet of who I am.
Within you is a diamond that has shone brightly since birth. As we grow older, we experience life's upsets, disappointments, and failures. The diamond gets covered by life's mess, resentment, or defeat. It loses its shine and becomes lost and forgotten. Then you're invited to speak to your colleagues or clients, and you feel less than capable of climbing that emotional mountain. An emptiness swells in the void of your heart, and you feel powerless.
There's often a trigger that makes you need to take action. Without going into details, I know from twenty years as a fear of public speaker course trainer that your diamond remains within you. We'll establish your diamond's whereabouts during class, take it out, and polish it with your class colleagues.
Planning a prosperous future for you and your family is never too late. You're a call or an email away.
We recognize the significant investment in your development, and potential students usually have questions to ensure they sign up for the correct course. If that sounds right, contact Rachel on +44 (0) 330 043 2677 or email admin@collegeofpublicspeaking.co.uk.

'Hi Vince, I am already lining up some public speaking events one of which might be to seventy people. I am not frightened at all now.

Who would have thought it from a two day weekend session?'Simon Smith - Northolt

'Dear Vince, Today I did my first major public speaking since attending your course a few weeks back. I did an assembly in front of 150 pupils and then staff training at the end of the day. I'm pleased to say that I paused, didn't get nervous and spoke so fluently. All day, I've had kids approach me and thank me for the assembly. One even said he found it "inspirational".
