Public speaking has never been in my comfort zone so today's I started off from a point of Anxiety and a little fear, however the Facilitator was wonderful and managed to ease my nerves enough to participate and engage with the process. … More I feel I have come away feeling more confident and I have learned new skills to take me forward such as stage presence and crafting my story. I also thought it was a great team building exercise. It has elevated my confidence in being able to function and present more confidently in the future.

Billal is quite simply phenomenal. In just a short period of time I have improved my speaking skills and overall confidence so much so that others have noticed the shift immediately without them even knowing I had my sessions. He made me … More feel at ease from our very first conversation with his warm and friendly demeanour. He really listened to my challenges to tailor his coaching approach to fit my personal needs and really empowered me to be a better speaker. I cannot wait to continue on this journey with Billal and see just far I can go with his expert coaching.

The Public Speaking Academy have been working with me in a one-on-one custom coaching setting. They have helped me with the craft of including more of "me" into my presentation. I am already an experienced presenter/trainer. … More My challenge was how to tell "my story" in a compelling, emotional, and genuine way that would captivate the audience and get them hooked right away. Billal helped me to figure out what part of "my story" to tell, and most importantly "how to tell it". I would definitely recommend working with Billal to develop your own voice and style to achieve progress towards personal and professional goals.Tara HussainDirectorGoldmark Training
