Course Summary
Fear of Public Speaking Course London UK
I'm not sure if this is for you, so I'll get straight to the point.
Public speaking skills are valuable for career advancement.
Do you want to advance your career? Then develop your public speaking skills and watch your confidence and credibility soar.
Most people fear public speaking, but it's a learnable skill.
If the fear of public speaking is holding you back, you're not alone.
You can become a confident speaker with practice and the correct tuition and tools.
Effective communication is the key to influencing others.
If you want to make a real difference and convey your ideas persuasively, master public speaking and become a powerful communicator.
Public speaking skills can boost self-confidence in all areas of life.
Get ready to step outside your comfort zone and unlock your full potential. Public speaking can build your confidence and help you shine in any situation.
Strong communication skills are essential for effective leadership.
Do you have leadership qualities? Sharpen your communication skills through public speaking and become the leader within you.
I used to feel terrible about many things. I wrote my first book about it, The Fear Doctor.
Forty years later, with twenty-five years of classroom training experience, I can easily explain and demonstrate the mindset and techniques to help you turn the corner.
The major obstacles in public speaking are misconceptions, often attempting to achieve impossible outcomes.
If you're a perfectionist, you must take this course. Likewise, this course is for you if you're not a perfectionist.
Most of my students have hidden from public speaking - handing their career opportunities to colleagues.
They feel guilty and alienated despite possessing many required personal and professional attributes. That's not the path to success, is it?
The antidote to anxiety is courage. Life is full of challenges and uncertainty - asking somebody on a date or a job interview, for example.
Life doesn't guarantee success, but to succeed, you must be in it to win it. There's only one way to experience and defeat these challenges: to face them.
Our events are interactive, fun, and confidence-building. They're the foundations of the new, more confident you.
The method is well-established, and it's worked for many years.
My name is Vince Stevenson (he/him), or 'The Fear Doctor'.
Are you motivated to overcome fear and enjoy life as a confident speaker?
I have the skills and experience to change your life and prospects.
I introduced the first 'fear of public speaking course' to London in 2006, and with over 15,000 delighted students, I have never looked back.
Our three pillars of success ensure excellence through equality, diversity, and inclusion - achieving personal impact and securing a sustainable future.
Question: What causes the fear of public speaking?
Answer: As we develop our lives and careers, we climb the ladders of personal and professional hierarchies. If you're lucky, you might escape the dreaded invitation to speak for a while. But there's no hiding place in the online world. You have to deliver, but are you prepared? This isn't your territory, and the shame of diminishing yourself in front of your peers is paralysing.
Solution: My 1-day and 2-day courses are designed to build confidence and clarity and change your relationship with public speaking forever. Developing a more consistent delivery technique will improve your confidence and future performance.
Public speaking is a skill, and I have developed tried and trusted methods to succeed. If you have a big event on the horizon, now is an excellent time to look for help.
Believe it or not, you might enjoy the process once you set a course for an improved public speaking outcome. As a trainer for more than 25 years, public speaking has been my most incredible tool in a fulfilling life and career. I wouldn't change anything.
So, are you still open to improving your relationship with public speaking?
Are you against committing to a course now? Could you give us a ring, email us, or sign up while availability shows?

How would your career and life change in the next twelve months if you attended a public speaking course with me for a day or two in London?
Here's the truth: your fear is nothing more than a bully that dissipates when adequately confronted. It'll leave you free to enjoy the life and success you deserve.
Fear says others will laugh at you, that you're not good enough, that you're not worthy, that your speech will flop.
Fear says you cannot cope and lack preparation. You don't know what you're talking about, and nobody is interested.
Fear tells you your topic could be more exciting, and your points and examples are apparent and barely worth saying.
And as a result, fear holds you back, blocks your path to success, and prevents you from achieving your goals.
Good news - there is a solution - join me on one of my next fear of public speaking courses in London.
Having the correct strategy, techniques, and guidance to overcome your fears would be best.
And if you join me for just one day in our first-class training facility in King's Cross, London, I'll show you the winning techniques, including:
- How to build or rebuild your self-confidence
- How to focus nervous energy on positive outcomes
- The key to opening your speech with impact and confidence
- Breathing techniques that help you remain calm
- A 6-point checklist to help you speak with confidence
- Removing your uncertainty
- Tapping into your personality, creativity, and authenticity
- Practising correct posture, breathing, and relaxation
- Building confidence through interactive group exercises
- Creating a public speaking mindset for success
You'll get a unique understanding of the fear of public speaking and a bag of practical tools and techniques for future use.
Like all of our professional classes, our Fear of Public Speaking course is accredited by CIMA, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
CIMA's parent group Pearson is the world's most significant private educational concern.
We recognize the significant investment in your development, and it's usual for potential students to have questions to ensure they sign up for the correct course. If that sounds right, contact Rachel on +44 (0) 330 043 2677 or email admin@collegeofpublicspeaking.co.uk.
What's the difference between the 1 and 2-day public speaking courses?
On the 2-day public speaking course, you get an extra day's theoretical input, deliver more speech practice, receive expert feedback, and exposure to mindset techniques.
The 1-day public speaking course is intense and high-paced. The 2-day public speaking course is more reflective as we have extra time to explore each individual's situation.
Public speaking course sizes & times:
Our class sizes range from 4 to 10 people, giving everybody sufficient time for numerous short speeches and feedback.
Courses start at 9:30 and end at 5 pm. 45 minutes for lunch. It's a fun and intensive day.
How to find the venue

Voluntary Action Islington, 200A Pentonville Road, King's Cross, London, N1 9JP.

Final Consideration:
In 2004, Unilever launched The Dove (soap) 'Real Beauty Campaign'. Their research discovered that only 2% of women worldwide described themselves as 'beautiful'.
The 'fear of public speaking' reflects your inner beauty and perceived competence. I'm no oil painting, but I don't care. That's just a minor facet of who I am.
Within you is a diamond that has shone brightly since birth. As we grow older, we experience life's upsets, disappointments, and failures. The diamond gets covered by life's mess, resentment, or defeat. It loses its shine and becomes lost and forgotten. Then you're invited to speak to your colleagues or clients, and you feel less than capable of climbing that emotional mountain. An emptiness swells in the void of your heart, and you feel powerless.
There's often a trigger that makes you need to take action. Without going into details, I know from twenty years as a fear of public speaker course trainer that your diamond remains within you. We'll establish your diamond's whereabouts during class, take it out, and polish it with your class colleagues.
Planning a prosperous future for you and your family is never too late. You're a call or an email away.

Testimonials

'Hi Vince, I am already lining up some public speaking events one of which might be to seventy people. I am not frightened at all now. Previously I would have died a thousand slow deaths of anxiety and nervousness which could well have resulted in a panic attack on stage. Now I can't wait. I'm proud to announce that I can do it. Who would have thought it from a two day weekend session?'Simon Smith - Northolt
-
'Dear Vince, Today I did my first major public speaking since attending your course a few weeks back. I did an assembly in front of 150 pupils and then staff training at the end of the day. I'm pleased to say that I paused, didn't get nervous and spoke so fluently. All day, I've had kids approach me and thank me for the assembly. One even said he found it "inspirational". 'I can only really thank you for this. I took all of your advice, reviewed the speeches and read your book since the course. I feel so much better now and truly believe that I can do this. Thank you so much and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!'Julie Joyce - Oxford
