SpeakConfident Canada was founded in 2010 by Dr. Robert Mitchell, a former professor of communications who recognized a critical gap in professional development across Canada: effective public speaking training.
What began as a small workshop series in Toronto has grown into Canada's premier public speaking training organization, with programs serving professionals, students, and organizations nationwide.
Our growth has been fueled by a simple philosophy: that confident, effective communication is a learnable skill that transforms careers and lives.
Today, SpeakConfident Canada helps thousands of Canadians annually overcome speaking anxiety and develop the communication skills needed to advance their careers, share their ideas, and connect with audiences of all sizes.
