How are your courses different from other public speaking training?

Our approach combines evidence-based techniques, personalized coaching, and practical application. Unlike generic programs, we tailor our methods to your specific speaking context and challenges. Our coaches have real-world expertise in diverse speaking environments, and our small group sizes ensure individualized attention.

Do I need prior speaking experience to take your courses?

No prior experience is necessary for most of our courses. We welcome beginners and experienced speakers alike. Our initial assessment helps us understand your current abilities and tailor the training accordingly. For advanced courses like Keynote Speaking Mastery, some speaking experience is beneficial but not required.

We offer courses at our training centers in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. For corporate clients, we can deliver training at your location anywhere in Canada. We also offer virtual coaching options for individual clients who cannot attend in person.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a full refund for cancellations made at least 14 days before the course start date. Cancellations within 7-14 days receive a 50% refund. For cancellations less than 7 days before the course, no refund is provided, but we offer one-time rescheduling to a future session within 6 months at no additional cost.

Can I speak to a coach before registering?

Absolutely! We offer complimentary 15-minute consultations with our training coordinators to discuss your specific needs and determine which course is the best fit. For individual coaching programs, you can schedule a brief call with your potential coach to ensure a good match.
