Testimonials
"Dear Judith,
I would like to let you know how much I enjoyed, and also how much benefit I gained from our sessions. You instilled a courage and a confidence in me that enabled me to speak before a group of young adults, on a very emotional and personal topic. This is a task I could not have possibly attempted before. I actually had a fear of raising my hand at a meeting, just to ask a simple question, now I find myself not only asking a question, but, expressing an opinion as well.
So, the only regret I have, is that our paths did not cross sooner, and that I missed so many opportunities in my life, when making a “statement”, or saying something about a subject that was close to my heart, I remained silent. Thanks to you, hence forth, no more silence. You have given me the confidence to stand up, and speak. Thank you one more time."

"This is the third year I have been involved in Judith's public
speaking workshop and have found it to be an extremely rewarding experience. The students' confidence just over 3 weeks grows enormously. And the skills they learn they carry with them and apply them in other areas.
An example of the effects the public speak has had, was after our first group of grade 5s experienced the workshop. At the start of the next year, during house meetings, the grade 6s and year 8s had to prepare and say a speech about themselves if they wanted to be house captains. Because of the rich experience the grade 6s had had, all teachers present commented on the speeches the grade 6s delivered compared to the secondary students.
I would highly recommend the public speaking workshops for all students- and teachers- as a teacher I still have lots to learn!

"Dear Judith, I delivered the short presentation to the 200 odd people last weekend…. It went well. No glitches! It took a moment or two to slip into the grove for it, but once there it flowed nicely, and the message was heard! I was congratulated by work collegues who had seen me slip at the first 200 person work event that I did about 3 months ago. That was encouraging."

"Dear Judith, We were delighted with how the session went both when we were there and the second half as reported by people. Everyone was very positive about it."

"Dear Judith, Thanks again for your visit and the workshops. The one with the students was very much appreciated. I had many students tell me how much they had appreciated it and several parents commented how much the kids were impressed by it. High praise indeed to get second hand praise from parents. We will certainly be looking positively to a future visit."

" ...Just wanted to let you know that all your hard work at our school is starting to pay off. Today we had speeches for house captains and in the house I am in it was, it very obvious how much more skilled the chn from grade 6 were than those in year 8. Well done and we look forward to having you here again."

"Dear Judith, Last night a teacher was approached by a parent after her presentation and he asked if she had done a public speaking course!!! He said he had done a 2 day course himself and could see that her presentation was professional!"
