“Surprisingly effective – I learnt so much, and so quickly!”
Linda Gardner, Euphony Communications
"I went on the workshop because I am a first time published author and although I find it easy to write, the prospect of giving interviews and talks, which I have to do to promote my book, filled me with dread. I found the workshop enjoyable, fascinating and a real confidence boost. Ron creates a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. His techniques remove the mystique from public speaking and they can be used daily to improve performance after the workshop. Now that I view public speaking in a different way, I look forward to giving interviews and talks.
Julia Heywood, author The Barefoot Indian, www.thebarefootindian.co.uk
"Since the workshop, I've been focusing on breathing from my stomach, my intonation and also how other people deliver - in fact, I'm much more self aware. Two days later I was able to put all of my new skills into practice when I launched the Athena Cheltenham group - I was told I came across as much calmer and with greater clarity! It was a really fun, informative and worthwhile day."
Nicola Menage, Hypnotherapist and Athena Network Regional Director
"Ron's coaching tips were very incisive and useful. Well worth the £ and the time! Thank you."
Gregory Haddock, Business Coach
