What our alumni are saying
This program was exactly what I needed. It was a comfortable environment to learn, make mistakes, and grow. The lessons gave practical tools and structure so I can keep practicing and developing my communication and speaking beyond the workshops. And, the supportive community was icing on the cake!
âAs someone who has struggled with public speaking my entire life, taking this program was very eye-opening in many ways. To learn public speaking is a skill that can be learned and improved rather than something we are born with gives me the hope, momentum, and courage to try and get better! Speak for Success was great because it created a very safe judgement-free environment to improve while also teaching many tips, tricks and learnings to help build that confidence!â
Speak for Success provided such a positive and supportive environment for their students, encouraging them every step of the way. The feedback provided was so useful in taking it back to the workplace to apply. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to work on their communication skills!
I really enjoyed the Speak for Success program. It gave a great overview of what makes a good speaker and how you can structure your message to drive your point home. The live workshops are a great way to put your learnings into action and the constructive feedback helped for better understanding what you did well and where you could improve further. Thanks for this great learning opportunity!
The facilitators turned an anxiety-provoking experience into something enjoyable, informative, interactive, and creative. I appreciated the constructive feedback and suggestions for strengthening my public speaking skills. Highly recommend it.â
I had five 1:1 mentoring sessions from Speak for Success. I was very impressed by my mentor's professionalism, knowledge, thoroughness, and attentiveness. The experience I gained is invaluable. I recommend the program to anyone starting the journey of public speaking and aspiring to advance in their careers.

I walked in dreading public speaking and after four sessions left armed with the techniques and tools to confidently deliver a speech and I dare say even enjoy it slightly. Itâs much more than a public speaking course, you learn valuable communication skills including feedback, speech structure and tips for effective Q&As. Most importantly, the facilitators have created a unique space for women to come together and learn in a safe and supportive environment and itâs truly amazing! Thank you.
I discovered more about my speaking and presentation style in these sessions than I have in my entire career!
A fantastic opportunity to practice and further develop my public speaking skills in a supportive and engaging environment. Would highly recommend for anyone who dreads presenting and is looking to increase their speaking confidence!
Everything I was looking for: specific focus on communication challenges professional women face, small group so you get lots of personal attention and feedback. If you want to take your communication skills to a new level, get yourself into this workshop!

The best part about joining the Speak for Success community is that you get access to ongoing opportunities to practice your public speaking and communication skills in a fun, safe and supportive environment.
Workshops
In the first 20 minutes, weâll take you through a specific framework from our curriculum. Itâs all about setting the foundation!

Power Hours
These immersive sessions are all about thinking on your feet! Youâll have the chance to respond to spontaneous âpopâ questions from your partner and the rest of the group. Plus after each round, youâll receive feedback from your peers and our awesome facilitator to help you continue to improve.
Special Events
Every so often, weâll host a networking event, invite a guest speaker, or organize an in-person meet-up. These special events are all about building connections and learning concepts that might not fit neatly into the âpublic speakingâ bucket but are super important in the workplace.
