REVIEWS

Ali has a knack of delivering information in a very easy to understand format. The workshop perfectly walked us through what every step might look like from the application right through to being on the stage. As a result, I was pleasantly surprised to be left feeling that doing a Ted Talk is entirely possible and I am now very excited for the full course to begin! J, UK

I really enjoyed the interaction with the group; love the way you hold space and the attendees always feel as if you perfectly curated them! G, UK

Ali practices what she preaches as she enigmatically commands the virtual room to create an inclusive and inviting environment. The session provided great content, which was really useful. Ali is a model presenter and to learn from her is a fantastic experience. R, UK

In addition to the AMAZING coaching, watching a nebulous idea transform into an actual, realistic, relevant topic I could actually do a speech on! I also loved the grounding techniques and myriad of other practical how-tos! L, USA

Confidence to increase my goal from “TED talk level” to “Deliver a TED talk” , 2. To attempt learning a speech word for word 3. Believing I have an interesting and engaging story to tell 4. Loved receiving positive feedback from Ali and the others on the call. J, UK

Working with Ali has been a transformative experience that has greatly improved my public speaking skills. Her fluid approach allowed us to focus on what I felt needed the most attention, significantly reducing my anxiety around presenting. Ali’s guidance in preparing for Instagram LIVE sessions has boosted my confidence tremendously. She provided me with practical exercises and tools to speak more clearly and effectively. Ali’s wonderful, inspiring, and supportive presence has been invaluable, making the entire learning process enjoyable and empowering. E, USA

Being able to confidently speak to small or large groups is such an important skill. This course really helps with the fears or barriers one might have as well as helping to home in on ideas for topics one could speak on competently. The safe, supportive environment is perfect for learning ins and outs of public speaking! L, USA

Go for it, Ali has a fantastic ability to deliver exactly what is needed depending on the individual requirements within any group, so I know you will gain so much from attending and be blown away like I was. J, UK
