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.

What happens?

 A Speaking Circle is a safe, small group, usually 8 to 10 participants, where we offer a natural and supportive approach to overcoming the fear of public speaking, being genuinely yourself, and receiving positive acceptance for doing so.

Speaking Circles® focus on the essential first step missing in traditional public speaking programmes - the connection between speaker and listeners. We concentrate on this connection - on building a relationship between you and the audience.

My job as a facilitator is to make it as safe as possible for you to explore what gets in the way. And to make it possible for you to be there.


This relationship-based approach provides a supportive listening environment where you learn to express yourself confidently and naturally.
How to connect with one person at a time without agenda or without effort. can we get used to blank faces in the audience?
It means that you are inviting connection rather than trying to connect.
This way of speaking to a group calls for truly being and speaking with one person at a time.
Developing this capacity at a Speaking Circle is like building a muscle at the gym.
It is a potent exercise that rapidly dissolves speaking anxiety from a natural place of ease and power.

So the perspective moves from impossible to very possible.
Or even from possible to enjoyable.

As a result, you will change the nature of how you see "public speaking."

And believe it or not its a lot more fun than it sounds.
To get an idea of people’s initial fears transformed read the feedback opposite.

My passion is about helping you find your voice and to take your place more easily in front of people
