“A proper in depth look at the root cause of fear of public speaking. The course deals with the fundamentals rather than learning tricks to disguise the fear. And then it was just a lot of FUN which I have never before said about public speaking”

Testimonials

  • Hannah McKibbin

    “I signed up for the course because I was absolutely terrified of an upcoming speech. The course taught me how to get comfortable with those fears and not see them as signposts that I’ll fail. Now I can breathe into those feelings and get up and speak...and I’m actually starting to really enjoy it! The course has helped me SO much and if anyone is on the fence, I would say go for it. You won't regret it”.

  • Helen Spooner

    “I’d really really recommend this course! I was apprehensive about spending the money at first, but if you commit to the course, it is absolutely worth it. I felt that the focus on vulnerability / authenticity was really important in getting to the root of what causes my public speaking anxieties. Rather than teaching us to put on a mask and pretend to be someone else/hide our fear, Adam taught us to embrace them - and reframing my perspective like this I've found really useful. This course feels it really gets to the core of what makes us tick/anxious about public speaking, rather than just giving us techniques to fake it. I would wholeheartedly recommend!”

  • Jay Harvey

    “This school is amazing. I've never experienced anything like this when it comes to speaking and being your authentic self. I can finally say that I truly don't care about trying to be perfect. Being me is enough. Thank you!”

  • Shehana Udat

    “I'm so glad I did this course. I was looking for something different to the usual corporate focused public speaking course. I wanted something more human that also included the psychology of public speaking and School of Connection provided exactly that. Adam, our trainer, was amazing week on week. He was incredibly supportive and genuine and gave each of us the confidence to step out of our comfort zone.

    The course was also incredibly fun! We laughed a lot as a group and towards the end we were all quite comfortable with another. I now much better equipped and confident to stand in front of a crowd and give a compelling speech. Thank you Adam and School of Connection!”
