Testimonials

"I have recently participated in a course which Newbury Speakers facilitated at Vodafone. The course has allowed me to become far more aware of my own public speaking ability and the impact of my messages on the audience. Within a learning environment, yet still out of my comfort zone, the course provided regular feedback on what I did well and how my presentation style could improve. This is in turn has improved my awareness and confidence, when speaking at all levels within the business environment."

Alison Luke
Project Manager, Vodafone UK.

"I have been attending Newbury Speakers Club for 2 years now and I have enjoyed every moment of my Toastmasters experience. At the club there are plenty of opportunities to participate in different ways. It doesn't matter what level of speaking ability you consider yourself at, there is always a friendly welcome and a listening audience to practice public speaking skills and/or overcome any fears about standing up to speak in front of people."

David Brinsdon

"The fear of standing up and speaking in front of anybody, along with my lack of self confidence, was a huge hurdle stopping me from starting my own Life Coaching business.  In previous work environments this fear held me back from voicing my opinion in team meetings and any group discussion.  So 15 months ago I decided to get out of my comfort zone and deal with this hurdle – I joined Newbury Speakers. The people and atmosphere were warm and welcoming, and most importantly for me, it was a safe and nurturing platform to overcome my fears.  With their support, my speaking skills are growing with every speech I deliver. I have now started my own business, had the confidence to expand on my professional qualifications, and gained a great bunch of friends along the way!"
