This session teaches the basic building blocks to effective public speaking. In particular, this session focuses on speaking ‘off-the-cuff’ and shows you how to cope when you’re suddenly asked to speak with no notes or advanced preparation.

All SUAS public speaking programmes are designed and facilitated by Dermot Goode, who overcame his own fear of public speaking to become an accomplished speaker and presenter. He is in demand as an expert in the field and regularly appears on live radio and TV and in print media. Dermot works with SUAS participants at all skill levels, to help them overcome their nerves and anxiety to prepare for multiple speaking scenarios. The group sizes are deliberately small to allow for one to one support and to ensure there is adequate time to practice these new skills in a supportive environment.

Testimonials

"The course helped me with my self-esteem. Now people stand up and listen to me when I speak, and I would highly recommend it to others."

Clifford O'Neill, Ulster Bank Ireland Limited

"I took comfort in being part of a group of 'similar souls' and found it really helpful to practice speaking in front of a non-judgmental class. The course covers all the necessary skills and tips to enable you to speak in public be it in front of a small or large group. The SUAS programme will stand to me for the rest of my life and now I don't panic or avoid situations where I may be asked to say a few words."

Audrey Buckley, Co-Founder Irish Image Consultants Institute

"I'm so glad I made the decision to attend the Stand Up and Speak course and would highly recommend it for anyone nervous of public speaking. Dermot was an inspirational coach -totally honest about his experiences and very supportive to everyone in the group regardless of what level they were coming from. The practical structure of the course combined with the small group number meant everyone had a chance to practice in a friendly non-judgemental environment which really did help in over-coming what can be a very real and debilitating fear."
