course guarantee

Here is my word.

Your money returned if you don't think you have benefited from the course in any way.

To get the money returned the following two simple conditions apply
1) you have to turn up on the course and be willing to explore.

2) and you e-mail me explaining why you are disappointed and how it didn't work for you. That way I can learn more and get better at what I do. I want you to be clear about my commitment to you.

working with organisations

 

The simple way
Often organisations send one or two people on one of my courses.
Various organisations send me 4 or 6 people a year.
If you want to arrange this kind of provision for your organisation
please contact me to discuss the different options.

tailor made
I also run tailor-made courses for organisations in various locations. In the last six months I have run at least one course every month for different origanisations.
I work closely with the organisation AND the course attendees to produce a training that they really want
As a by-product the days can give a team a different way of working together.

Please contact me to discuss your needs on 01934 830512 or by e-mail john@speaking-infront.co.uk

Important note
While the course varies from organisation to organisation, it is important that everyone who attends has chosen to come.
It really doesn’t work when people are obliged to attend!

Speaking Circles approach works best when the participants feel free to be there, are able to relax and have trust in the facilitator and the rest of the group and want to change their relationship to speaking in public.

other organisations I've worked for in 2009 and 2010 include
• Church of England Hereford Diocese
• South Gloucestershire youth team
• Tomorrow's people - Bristol
• English Heritage
• City Councils around the South West
• Higher Education Statistics Authority
• Citizens Advice Bureaux
• Bath University Architecture Department
• The Carers Trust
• Speakers Corner
• Bristol City Council

Lots of feedback from these organisations has been posted on other pages as individuals rather than from the organisation

Leadership Presence courses

If developing leadership presence is important to your organisation or yourself as a leader I'm running a leadership presence course in April. For more details see other courses

 

participant's quotes and organisatational feedback

Everyone really enjoyed the session. What made it particularly interesting was that it was based on how to be yourself when presenting. Not what you should be.
Your style was really welcoming and inclusive and I know that all in attendance really enjoyed the day, once again many thanks.

Really excellent, clear, contained, encouraging, welcoming, warm, expansive..
Sutherland Cranial College

A big thank you again for running the training for the young people. I think the concept worked really well for them and certainly helped in building up more confidence. I was impressed with the changes I saw.
I certainly think you should do this again for young people..
Youth Parliament Charity

John is the most incredible bloke: relaxed, chirpy and funny, and he's one of the regions warmest, most engaging and enjoyable speakers.

A very valuable day - with practiced and real benefits that will have on-going value
