The Speakstarter Confidence Framework

Know your fears

You won't overcome your nerves until you understand why you react to public speaking the way you do.

Your don't need to traumatise yourself to move past your fear, but you do need to understand what is happening in your body when it happens.

We work through this in our club sessions and private sessions so you can know what's happening and bring it under control.

Use a Structure

So much of our fear of public speaking comes from a lack of knowing how to start and how to end a speech.

Our framework helps you to understand how to begin confidently, explore a topic with credibility and then leave your audience better for the experience.

Rather than archaic pomp and circumstance, we work with today's speech structures including the hugely popular TEDtalks format.

Build your reps

When you're training for a sport, you build strength and condition through repetition. This works for speaking too.

Our club structure means that you get to practice regularly and build your confidence over time. And you can boost your "reps" by doing private training at any time.

We also run a number of small and larger public events during the year where you can choose to try out your new skills with a real audience.
