Permission to Stuff Up, Sir?

What is the hardest thing about speaking in public? Fear? but of what? Fear of failure! So let’s give ourselves PERMISSION TO STUFF UP!

“I wanted to improve my public speaking, soften my foreign accent, gain confidence in my voice. I never thought that just one person could help me address all these at once, and more! It’s been an amazing journey of discovery… every session brought fresh knowledge in a broad range of subjects related to the physiology, vocal techniques, exercises, expression, phonetics, English pronunciation, intonation. And not only is Flloyd a wonderful teacher, she also provides plenty of supporting material to help us continue to practice and explore in our own time… It’s been exciting, empowering and fun. Flloyd, thank you so much!” Gwen Moncoiffe (Liverpool)

“Lessons with Flloyd have embedded in me the deep sense of respect for an impact that elocution has on the quality and efficiency of our daily communication. While I am not there yet and there is a lot of hard work to be done, I am excited about the possibilities and journey ahead. This excitement is also resulting from the fact that our lessons are not only helpful but also fun. Thank you Flloyd!” Valentina Ryabova (Dublin)

“the time I spent preparing with Flloyd was a key part in the warm and enthusiastic response I got from attendees.”
Rachel Schofield, (NSW) Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor | Consultant http://www.theconnectedparent.com.au

“What I very much like about your style of teaching is your enthusiasm and the rare
combination of practical skills and an in-depth theoretical background. I enjoy every single lesson.” Prof Jürgen Götz, founding Director, Queensland Brain Institute – Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research
