Discover the confidence in public speaking that you never knew you had!
★★★★★
“
As someone who used to be filled with dread (the red-faced, racing-heart, "please not me!" kind of dread!) when the words "public speaking" were mentioned, I never thought I'd find myself joining a Toastmasters group and actually really enjoying it! Early last year I decided that public speaking was something I'd like to get better at, as a personal challenge, as well as to help in my work sphere. Through the encouragement and support of a lovely group, I feel like I've already improved in so many ways from where I started and am continually learning about the many aspects that contribute to delivering a great speech. The group is a diverse range of people from all walks of life which makes for a really friendly and fun atmosphere. If you are considering coming along – I would encourage you to just go for it; challenge yourself and develop yourself, you'll have an awesome time along the way!”

Bradford Speaks has helped me enormously
★★★★★
“
Public speaking is something most people are terrified of and I was no exception! Having avoided it for many years a good friend suggested that we go along to Bradford Speaks to see if they can help. From doing table topics to ice breaker speeches Bradford Speaks has helped enormously from developing confidence to feeling less nervous about speaking in public. I can only recommend Bradford Speaks come along and see how your confidence grows very quickly!”

At the end of the day it changes lives
★★★★★
“
After many years of speaking in public due to my work and other activities I always dreaded it. I took a course on presentation skills and have never looked back. Now, as a founding member of Bradford Speaks, I've been able to witness the growth in confidence of others and their individual progress in their employment due to learning the skills of public speaking.”
