Responses to my Confident Public Speaking one day workshops

Feedback from the delegates

Managing nervousness section was very helpful – it’s one thing that affects me a lot but I haven’t thought to address it. Some excellent advice that I’ll be using from now on. Thank you Philippa!

Found the environment constructive and safe.

I found all of it very useful and enjoyable … elevator pitch straight away was a great ice breaker and relaxed me for the rest of the session.

Given me a lot to think about & use for the future. I feel excited at the prospect of doing a presentation!

The realisation that there’s a lot more to presenting than meets the eye i.e. it’s not all about the content; body language, breathing all very important.

I’ve found the session very valuable and I’m pleased to have had this opportunity.

Was a great day and event, I’m taking a lot from it that I can use in my career and development.

It’s been a really empowering, supportive & confidence building session. It was engaging & I’m so glad we’ve done it.

Very well paced and all content was relevant. Was good to see you using the techniques when presenting back to us.

A great balance of theory and practice. For every piece of professional advice there was always an opportunity to demonstrate what we learned. There was a good balance of comfort and ‘discomfort’ (in a good way!).

I would recommend anyone pursue this training if they feel they need to improve their presentation skills.

Great – thank you Philippa!
