Graduates say . . .
"The Authentic Speaking course was invaluable to me. In my current position I am required to do a lot of public speaking. This was an area I had great fear and trepidation about. Since doing the Authentic Speaking course I no longer have this fear. I feel I have the skills and knowledge to speak with confidence and engage my audience on a level I never knew existed. Not only am I speaking with confidence I  have learnt the necessary skills to engage an audience on all different levels.

Thank you Peter for making not only the course informative and enjoyable but assisting me to apply this to my life. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who struggles with speaking in public or even if they just would like to make some improvements. It was money well spent!" - Stephanie Soter, CEO, Joblink

“To be honest, I came to this workshop with nothing prepared.  I didn’t put in any effort to prepare and wanted you to do all the work because I was doubtful.  But the results that you have achieved and what people have achieved in these two days is incredible.” – Dr. Jonathan Heim, Senior Geologist, Rio Tinto

"I found Peter’s Authentic Speaking Workshop insightful, inspiring and empowering.  I enjoyed the relaxed yet professional delivery of interactive workshop material and certainly took away tools and skills that have allowed me to improve my public speaking content and delivery.

At the completion of the two day workshop I felt more confident in my ability to address a group of people than I ever have before.  For those of us who suffer butterflies and wobbly knees at just the thought of public speaking I would highly recommend the Authentic Speaking Workshop – Peter will get you through it!" - Lorraine Willis, Executive Officer, Family Business Association WA

“Having not been speaking for some time, I found the Authentic Speaking course not only allowed me to regain my confidence, but enlightened me to a truly holistic approach to public speaking. A big thank you to Peter for pushing me into the next level and coaching me to become a truly professional speaker.” - Bruce Braes, Director, Specialist Strategy Security and Intelligence Group Pty Ltd

(Bruce has been through our workshop and executive coaching and speaks professionally at conferences on topics such as organisational resilience, security and management consulting. After receiving coaching from us, Bruce spoke at international conferences in Dubai and Sydney, receiving standout feedback and results from his presentations.)

"Prior to attending the workshop, I was very nervous and reluctant to stand up in front of other people and make any sort of public presentation. My current position requires me on a regular basis to make presentations to colleagues and other people.

After attending the workshop, I now have the ability to stand up with confidence in front of others and make a presentation. My wife actually commented on my increased confidence just after the first day.

I would recommend Authentic Speaking to anyone who wants to learn more about public speaking." - Geoff Smith, Senior Safety Coordinator, Public Transit Authority

"I honestly thought it was the most valuable course I have attended and would recommend it to anyone who needs to improve their public speaking skills. This was mainly due to you being passionate about public speaking,  it was “hands on” , you were personable and engaging. I could certainly see how my presenting skills had improved during the 2 day workshop.

It was lovely to meet you and thank you again for a brilliant workshop." - Christina Camacho, Client Services Manager, WestScheme Superannuation

"I've been to a few different courses on public speaking and presentation skills but always walked away wondering if I actually got or learned anything that I could use.

After one day at the Authentic Speaking workshop I was more comfortable and confident speaking in front of the group, and I found that, by injecting a bit of myself and/or my story into my presentation, that I actually enjoyed being up there talking." - Bindi Allan, Client Services Manager, WestScheme Superannuation

"I personally found the workshop very enjoyable and informative. All areas for the skills of Public Speaking were covered in a relaxed and fun environment.

I would highly recommend this workshop for all professionals." - Simon Brown, Senior Exploratory Geologist, Groote Resources; Principal Director, Geoviz
