Our public speaking coaching is drawn from our personal experience of dealing with nerves, fine-tuning structure, planning, and delivery techniques and seeing what can be achieved by harnessing the adrenaline of speaking in front of others.
Public Speaking & Presentation Skills Training
It is stated that public speaking is a "soft skill", but we believe (from experience) that it is, therefore, a "soft skill" that gives your "core skills" a voice!
To be all we can be it is vital that we can and do share our knowledge, experiences, skills, and opinions effectively and confidently, or our impact and presence could be lost in the noise of everyone and everything else!
We all have to speak in front of people, whether that’s delivering a formal presentation or just getting our point of view across during a meeting.
But we don’t all have the desire, confidence or right skills to deliver our messages effectively and sometimes nerves can get in our way of being ourselves, let alone a good communicator.
This is where Open Dawes Training can help. We offer public speaking, communication, and presentation skills training for individuals or for organisations.

It was a battle with nerves that led to the founding of Open Dawes Training.
By overcoming his nerves and building a successful career, where having great public speaking and presentation skills were vital, Chris Dawes was inspired to pass his knowledge on to others and set up the company.
Now we host one-to-one training at our head office in Swindon, or travel to clients across Wiltshire, Bristol, Bath, Oxfordshire, the South West and South Wales – in fact, throughout the UK.
Our team are dedicated to helping you to become a great public speaker or presenter, whether you are a complete beginner or an amateur wanting to improve.
Our programmes are created from our unique mix of expertise in business and the media – at Open Dawes, we have the edge to help you or your employees have the edge.
Chris Dawes would never have believed that by conquering the nerves, and finetuning his ability to give business presentations (and training sales teams to do the same) he would land a dream role.
Because Chris’s other passion is motorsports, and he still can’t quite believe that he’s paid to commentate on his favourite sport, be a Master of Ceremony at a wide variety of events, and present on TV and Radio. Chris is also a voiceover artist – so you may have heard him even if you’ve not yet met him. Follow the link to find out a bit more about Chris and his other life as a commentator .
Chris’s story shows that anything is possible. So, if you aspire to be a confident public speaker or need presenter training, the team at Open Dawes are here to help.
This workshop will cover various situations that researchers are faced with regularly with regard to verbal interaction. We will cover oral presentations, how to get the most from your poster session at a conference, how to pitch your research and how to network effectively.
Confidence comes from knowing what you want to say and being comfortable with your communication skills. In this course, you will master the skills that will make you a better speaker and presenter.
