Testimonials

  • I highly recommend Liz Paine's workshops to assist one in public speaker. Prior to attending I was terrified to speak in a group get together, never mind in front of an audience. Attending Liz's workshop gave me the confidence to speak up and I no longer fear facing a group. Her workshops are fun and educational. I've since given numerous talks in my field and people assured me they enjoyed the talk. Thank you Liz!!

  • Recently I took the opportunity to attend "It's Time You Spoke Up"  a two day workshop facilitated by Liz Paine. Like most of us I was daunted by the thought of public speaking albeit on a small scale. Liz shared her wealth of knowledge and experience freely over the two days as well as providing us with many tools and tips on how to present successfully. I surprised myself just how much confidence I had gained by the end of this workshop and have no hesitation in recommending Liz's training to anyone who finds themself in the position of having to speak publicly.
