Course Outcomes: Experience more confidence, presence and authority in public speaking. Develop your vocal strengths and overcome vocal challenges. Strengthen your posture, stance, and bearing in presenting yourself. Express yourself in a more dynamic and effective way. Learn how to tell stories to be more memorable and engaging. Streamline your preparation process. Be able to create content and delivery to meet your listeners' needs, interests, and expectations.

Course format:
We'll begin with video-recording you giving a 'sample' five-minute presentation.
(This is the 'before' video...then, you'll learn and practice presentation and leadership communication techniques. We'll end the course with recording an 'after' five-minute presentation video so you can see for yourself the tremendous improvement you will make in two days).
Here's what recent clients had to say:
"Sally is a highly engaging and motivational facilitator. Participants who attend her course (at the University of Auckland) often comment on her inspiring, interactive and practical approach. They always feel a huge increase in self-confidence on completion of the course."
Anne Cave, Former Programme Director, Professional Development Series, University of Auckland
"Working with Sally was extremely rewarding. She is fun, energetic and so passionate and expressive. Sally set up a safe environment and allowed me to explore and experiment with my expression. I left each session with my muscles stretched and a little more confidence in my ability. I was shown new processes and structures which allowed me to craft keynote speeches along with powerful exercises that helped widen my expression. I was not even aware that my voice could make some of the sounds that it did.” Steve Wooderson, Director, Perspective International Ltd
“This course gave me a great understanding of how to structure and present a speech/seminar, and I came away with a lot more confidence in presenting in front of groups of people. This course teaches you how to tackle a presentation, how to add real life stories most effectively, and how to use vocal variety to enhance your delivery. Sally was very entertaining and knowledgeable on her subject." Garth Beker, Partner, Beker, Findlay, Allan
"I truly believe Sally is an inspirational speaker and would recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills." Raewyn Guilford, National Business Development Director (1994- 2011), OCS Ltd.
