Build the skills and confidence you need to speak in front of a group of people, however large, with expert training from Speaker Express.

BACKGROUND

The philosophy behind Speaker Express is the concept of risking something. The 1860s American Speaker Express was a mail delivery service where young PONY riders like Buffalo Bill risked their lives delivering a message. Same today. It might feel daunting to present in the boardroom, pitch to a panel of serious investors or a room full of industry peers but with the right training, nothing must be left to chance.

"In the past, I would run a hundred miles at the thought of speaking to a group of people. I always had the idea of one day creating my own business but I was so scared of putting myself out there - what will people think if I get it wrong or what if no one would turn-up to my events?

Since then, I have heard thousands of different speeches & pitches and delivered training in the UK, Europe, Australia & Africa. Our clients include technology start-ups within Silicon Roundabout, coaches, consultants, CEOs, Managing Directors, high-end corporates and a recently funded business voted 'Best Dragons' Den Pitch Ever'. The highest impact we have is working with small business owners, helping them to develop clarity on communicating their brand and vision to influence their audience or those investors. We also teach how to use public speaking for business growth – getting booked, generating leads or converting opportunities into money."
