This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to several months, depending on learning style, past history, etc. We have had clients permanently overcome their fears by doing 1 brief exercise, and we have had clients gradually diminish their fear over a period of 6 months. The good news is whether your fear disappears quickly or gradually, almost everyone begins to experience some degree of relief right away.
Yes. There are many myths and misconceptions about what it takes to be an effective presenter. There is no particular personality type that lends itself to great speaking. There are great speakers who are gregarious and wonderful speakers who are shy. And ineffective speakers belonging to all personality types as well. Becoming a great speaker involves identifying your core strengths as a communicator and building on those. Most of our clients are surprised to find core strengths they had not previously discovered. This is the first step to a breakthrough in presenting.

While our team will do everything possible to accommodate last minute appointments, we are usually booked several weeks in advance. Therefore we recommend that you book appointments at least 2 - 4 weeks in advance whenever possible. Tentative appointments are fine and we request a minimum of 24 hours notice for cancellations.
Absolutely. yes. While some of our clients have given us full permission to use their names and have spoken publicly about the results they've achieved through working with UniqueSpeak, other clients prefer to have their identities kept confidential. We honor those requests fully and impeccably. UniqueSpeak's clients include public figures in a variety of spaces and we take pride in our ability to maintain full confidentiality in all aspects of our professional relationships and the coaching process.
While individual coaching allows for precisely targeted focus and produces fast results, group programs have a rich, vibrant dynamic of their own. Sometimes programs are constructed with individual sessions for the people involved, and culminates with a few group sessions for shared learning. If you have questions about the type of structure that would best fit your needs, we would be happy to discuss the advantages of each scenario and make recommendations based on your unique circumstances.
