For 32 years, we’ve been dedicated to helping individuals transform their public speaking apprehension into confidence. Our approach emphasizes gradual exposure, enabling you to confront your fears incrementally in a supportive setting. Your instructors, Charles di Cagno and Kyra Smith, are experienced phobia therapists and former/current Directors of Public Speaking at White Plains Hospital Anxiety Treatment Center in the United States.
No matter your current level of public speaking skill, we have a solution for you. For those with anxiety, our program introduces public speaking through a series of step-by-step exercises, starting with the basics and progressing to more advanced techniques. If you’re more experienced, we offer a platform tailored to your specific needs, focusing on refining various delivery methods. Our self-paced approach ensures a low-pressure, supportive atmosphere with ample feedback to address your individual challenges.
Our course accommodates both beginners and advanced students, with the aim of inspiring rather than intimidating. Remember, even the most dynamic speakers once grappled with the same fears but overcame them through consistent effort. The program is not arduous; it simply requires the determination to seek guidance, initiate your journey, and maintain a committed, consistent effort.
