Learn the key success principles and skills you can use to become a confident speaker.

This one day Speaking UP! Workshop is for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, powerfully engage their audience and be confident they really are getting their message across.

"Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success."

Paul J. Myer

"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said,
but I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant."
Robert McCloskey

Effective communication skills can open doors,
but poor communication skills can close them.

Whether we are in a team meeting, or presenting in front of an audience,
we all get called upon every now and then to speak publicly.

Now you can do it well or do it badly - the choice is yours

"Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that
when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness,
the clarity and the emotions to affect other people."
Jim Rohn

Empowering yourself as a stronger and more effective communicator means
you become a more confident and influential person.

Breakthrough the limits that have held you back in the past.

“Speaking Up gives you the practice of techniques and a way to build upon them through the day. You get a really good framework which is presented and practiced in sequence.”

Peter Neilson

“I now have a good understanding of the core elements to public speaking.”

Ryan Gibson

“Jo Clark, I always love attending her courses. I love the energy in the room and the fun
she creates. The Speaking Up course is a worthwhile day where you leave feeling
confident, inspired and excited for your next event.”

Jennifer Carroll

“I enjoyed most learning the structure. Made developing a presentation logical and easy.
I recommend it. Specifically, to many of my education managers at work.”

Jennifer Hunt

During the workshop, I gained invaluable insights into the art of communication.
I discovered that our body language, including posture, gestures, and facial expressions,
plays a vital role in conveying confidence, credibility, and engagement to our audience.”

Daniel Van

“The best part of the training was learning about structure, stance and how to engage with
your audience. This is a must do day - if you speak to any number of people for any purpose,
there is something in Speaking Up for you.”
