A unique programme whereby participants got out of their comfort zone straightaway and participated in different activities. It is a public speaking course and it lives up to its name. Michelle is very down to earth and makes participants feel comfortable.  She has created an interactive training and knows the subject really well. This programme has helped me see my potential and stand up to speak confidently in front of an audience. It was a good opportunity for me to participate in such an interactive programme, whereby each and every module offered participants the opportunity and the challenge to push themselves out of their comfort zone.

Ms. Michelle Fenech Seguna is an excellent coach of public speaking. By the end of the course, I learnt how to overcome my fear of public speaking and acquired the best tools and techniques to prepare and deliver effective presentations. The course was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had.  We worked hard and fully enjoyed the process!

Tanya Sultana, Head of Research - MTA

Public Speaking is as important as ever for business leaders.  Whether you are making a point in a meeting or giving a keynote speech at a conference, one always needs to think through the structure and delivery of the presentation.  This course can help everyone to improve delivery and use best practice tips by Michelle!   It’s been a great learning experience giving speeches to other peers in the training and receiving useful feedback on my presentations.  I highly recommend Speak to Move and Michelle to businesses!
