School Students
Ted Gibbs recently attended Morayfield State High School to present an educational to the year 10 and 11 aspiring leaders about the art of speech making and leadership. The year 11 students are currently undergoing preparations to contest the positions of: School Captains, Sports Captains, Cultural Captain and Prefects. Ted spoke with the students about the characteristics of an effective leader who inspires and actions change, about making first impressions and provided constructive advice for speech development and delivery. All of the students responded positively to Ted’s engaging and informative address and each of them commented to me at the conclusion of the session that he provided them with realistic and actionable advice. I highly recommend Ted’s services to anyone who wishes to develop the skills necessary to become a confident, persuasive and entertaining public speaker.

Testimonial:

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know what I gained from your public speaking course. I have to do quite a lot of public speaking with my role and I have always felt extremely uneasy about doing this and wanted to overcome my fears.

Your course has definitely helped me to achieve my goals. It took place only 2 weeks ago and I have spoken in public about 4 times since then with absolutely no problem at all. I now feel relaxed and confident on stage with the simple tools I learned during your course.

The small group really helped – I felt that I was able to open up about my fears and I received a lot of encouragement and advice that was directly relevant to me.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your course to other people who need confidence when speaking in public.
