Public Speaking Courses in London

The new, effective way to smash through your fear of public speaking.

You’re just 6 weeks away from being a confident public speaker.

Introducing the new approach to public speaking which will help you overcome your public speaking fear forever, so you can show the world who you really are.

Speakers Club helps emerging leaders who want to super-charge their career through the power of public speaking.

This actually works

Public speaking isn’t one of those things you get better at by reading a book. You need to do it. A lot. On this course you do.

No B.S.

Our public speaking courses have a unique structure. 6 workshops spread over 6 consecutive weeks. This is crucially important because it’s the reps that get you good.

A public speaking gym

Anyone who says they can fix your fears in a day isn’t telling the truth. After all, you can’t get a six pack after one visit to the gym. But after 6 sessions you’ll feel and see amazing improvements. And so will your audience.

We walk the talk

If you want enduring change you need to practice, but you also need an expert coach to guide you through it. All our trainers learned their speaking skills at the coalface as professional actors, presenters, and improvisers. They live and breathe this stuff.

Testimonials

The Speakers Club is by far the most fun and practical public speaking course I have ever taken! In the classroom, you will learn a lot of tricks and techniques to improve your presentation skills, while getting many opportunities to directly practice in the class. I came out of it a lot more confident in my ability to structure a presentation, make it relevant to the audience and speak in front of a crowd which is exactly what I wanted from this course… I think I have finally got rid of my absolutely fear of speaking in front of people, which is massively exciting! Thank you for these 6 weeks of learning and fun! I had a great time

– JESSY CONFLON, HEAD OF MARKETING, PAYBASE

Speakers club is outstanding. It’s very well organised with concrete tips on how to structure your writing for speeches and presentations. More crucially, though, the course gives you legitimate confidence to speak in front of an audience—even on the spot without notes. This is particularly valuable as I think the skills learned will bleed into other aspects of my professional life, giving me a heightened ability to engage with C-suite individuals and express my ideas. To top it all off it’s extremely fun with really good people in attendance! Couldn’t recommend it enough.

– JAIMIE GREGORY, PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST AT PLAN INTERNATIONAL UK + WRITER

Speakers Club is a brilliant way to improve your public speaking skills. I used to dread being in front of an audience, and would avoid presentations like the plague. These days, I feel far more comfortable. Lessons were fun and engaging, my classmates were great, and the feedback you receive is extremely valuable. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

– JACK WESTERMAN, DIGITAL IT ADVISOR – ACCENTURE

There is a real art to public speaking and it’s not something you can get from a book. The value of Hoopla’s speaker’s club is it offers a safe space to practice, in a fun yet insightful way. It’s well organised, good value and the trainers really know their stuff. Would recommend to anyone who presents to others as part of their job.

– DR. ANDREW MCFAULL, LECTURER IN ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL EDUCATION AT KING’S BUSINESS SCHOOL, KING’S COLLEGE LONDON

The course was excellent with numerous different scenarios to present under the encouraging eye of the trainers who back up their teachings with experience. I can strongly recommend it and have further booked an Improv course for the new year.

– JIM MARSHALL

The course really helped me identify areas for improvement of my current presentation skills. The variety and volume of exercises really helped embed the techniques!

– BARRY THORN, HEAD OF SALES, AKENEO

Our instructor’s enthusiasm and sense of humour managed to make public speaking actually enjoyable. They taught simple and effective ways to structure speeches and engage audiences that I hadn’t considered before. The masses of practice you get in is incredibly valuable and the cohort was a very supportive and fun group of people. I would recommend to anybody that needs a confidence boost in public speaking!

– JULIET MANNERS, DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE CABINET OFFICE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Practice makes perfect, supportive and warm teacher, group exercises, improvement of self-confidence and communication skills, feedback from not only teacher but also peers, increase of self-awareness.

– MICHAEL HITZ

The construct of the class was very hands-on and practice oriented – we were always on our feet which helped a lot!

– SIMON KONGARA, PROGRAM TEST MANAGER, UPFIELD

It was a fantastic course, I learnt a lot, built so many skills and I have been telling everyone about it.

– ROSIE LIDINGTON, LEAD UX DESIGNER & RESEARCHER, THE GUARDIAN

If you are thinking of taking the course, just click the button and sign up – the amount of practice you get in the course is enough to stop listening to the voices in your head that you can’t do this! It’s doable and it’s super fun. I feel more comfortable taking space and slowing down. I also have a lot of techniques for structuring presentations and am feeling more comfortable about trying to test things out and failing because I was able to practice so much and get valuable feedback.

– YANCY JENSEN, SENIOR HEALTH COACH, SECOND NATURE

Honestly, it has surpassed all my expectations. I’ve done multiple public speaking courses and they’ve all been quite dry and tedious. This is fun, practical, gets your practicing and makes you face your fear and get over it in a supportive environment. Love love love it! I’m usually still buzzing until midnight.

– TANIA STEERE, HEAD OF CONTENT, VIRGIN

I learnt more in the 6 sessions of Speakers Club about how to engage an audience, tell a captivating story, and garner authority than I have in 8 years of working in sales. The skills I learnt are so actionable and have already hugely impacted the way I present. Although presenting numerous times a session can sound daunting, it is done in such a fun way and without taking yourself too seriously you quickly realise the value in messing up and trying again in order to perfect it.

– SOPHIE RADFORD, SALES DIRECTOR, TRIPLE LIFT

I was blown away by this course. The instructor was highly experienced and really understood how to create a fun, positive, learning environment for everyone. We learnt a ton of information but never felt like we were back at school! Before I used to see public speaking as something uncomfortable and slightly terrifying but once you do it enough times you learn to disconnect yourself from the outcome and be more at ease. I also noticed that my presentations became a lot more coherent over time, whereas before it felt like pure waffle. I also noticed that I am a lot better at improvising. No matter how well prepared you are there’s always going to be those moments where either you forget your script, or you have to amend it, or you’ve been asked a question you weren’t expecting and now you have to improvise. Now, I am lot better at thinking on my feet.
