Individual public speaking training
Do you get anxious when it comes to standing up and speaking in public in front of other people?
Do you wish you could speak with authority, clarity and confidence?
Taking the first steps to become a confident public speaker can be daunting.
So in addition to running in-house team training courses, we specialise in one to one presentation skills coaching, after all not everyone wishes to share their learning experience within a team framework or with a group of peers.
Some thrive within a tailor-made programme which focuses on their personal needs and pain points. Having that personal feedback can be invaluable when learning new skills and techniques which really work.
A lot of training providers you may come across will run cookie-cutter group courses aimed at filling a room, whereas Simply Amazing Training offers a very personalised, individual or team public speaking service designed to help you overcome some of the blocks you face with communicating in a public setting and improve your public speaking skills.
Communication is a skill that is crucial in business and life, however, many people struggle when it comes to speaking to a public audience. It’s not just the content of what you are saying, but also the tone and speed of your voice, what your body language portrays, and ultimately how much you manage to engage with the audience.
People don’t always remember what you tell them but they will remember how you make them feel.
Remember, public speaking is far more about the audience than it is about you. Here are some good questions to start asking yourself when preparing for a presentation:
Who is my audience?
Where are they starting from?
What information do they want to know?
What questions might they have?
What are the key points I want the audience to take from the presentation?
How long have I got their attention for?
How do I involve my audience during the presentation?
We understand that every individual is unique, so you’ll receive everything you need for your personal development from our public speaking courses.
You’ll learn how to eliminate those niggling unwanted thoughts and behaviours which can affect your presentation, helping you to become a confident public speaker and increase your overall communication skills.
One-Day Public Speaking Courses
We offer a range of one to one public speaking courses from foundational level to more advanced levels and we also offer discounts for buying the courses in bundles to save you even more money!
Our team of presentation skills trainers offer one-day public speaking courses in London, Hertfordshire, Bournemouth, Leicestershire, Kent, Essex and further across the UK so location isn’t an issue and you can either come to us or we can travel to you for your convenience, the choice is yours.
In our foundational course that we’ve called ‘present with confidence’, we cover the real basics of public communication skills and review where you are currently at.
This includes an option to record you deliver a presentation and review it together, we then go on to look at gaining more confidence and changing the way you look at public speaking.
We also cover things you may not even think of like breathing techniques, body language, and your voice while putting together the initial slides for your message that is authentic to you.
You’ll leave with follow up work and a copy of the book “High-Performance Presentations” to embed your learnings and help you prepare for your one-hour follow-up video call (where applicable) where you’ll deliver a final practice presentation.
We will record you (optional), so you can see and hear all your improvements for yourself.
Using a blended learning approach with workbooks, face to face sessions, book and calls, your coach will help you discover your very best presentation style and fine-tune it so that you grow into a calm, confident and concise presenter.

Our Story
It was while on the road as a Marketing Manager for consumer brands such as Pizza Hut, Jammie Dodgers and Jacob’s Creek that, in 2005, Dee Clayton had a life-changing car accident in which she suffered significant injuries.
Dee was keen to get something positive out of a negative situation, so she employed a life coach to help with her recovery and set her on the path to a more fulfilled future.
This life coach used the Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) process, which fascinated Dee from the start.
Inspired by this experience, Dee founded Simply Amazing Training in 2007. Her goal was to help professionals like herself to overcome any blockers to success.
But it wasn’t just about teaching them the practical skills they needed to increase their self-confidence, but crucially (and unlike most other trainers), working on their mindset too.
When working with senior executives, Dee wanted to draw out their hidden skills and inner confidence, so they felt worthy of their roles and found it easy to speak up and be heard. Her aim was to bring out the very best in people.
In the early days, she spent every spare moment learning to become a Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP, and later became a licensed Insights Discovery and Motivational Maps Practitioner.
Amazing And Award-Winning
In 2022, Dee won the most prestigious award of her career – National Business Women’s Awards 2022 “Overall Winner” and “Business Owner/s of the Year” and Best Business Women Awards 2022 “National Silver Winner in Best Businesswoman in Business Services.
” These recognitions are valuable and proved that Dee continues to strive for excellence in her work and is committed to providing quality services to all of her clients.
All of the recognitions that Simply Amazing Training received over the past years (check out the trophy cabinet!) demonstrates the quality and effectiveness of our programmes as we also focus on our clients’ mindset and not just their skills.
Small But Perfectly Formed
Over the years the Simply Amazing team has grown, but Dee makes sure that they never outgrow the guiding principles that she started with – to bring out the best in people.
There are now three training/coaching partners, plus a small army of people working behind the scenes in marketing and communications.
Simply Amazing trainers have worked with multi-sector companies and individuals across the UK and internationally, from Bournemouth and Bedfordshire to Brussels and Bulgaria.
They have helped to improve the performance of key people at Netflix, RBS, Toyota and Volkswagen, to name but a few. (See some more of their clients here).
And we mustn’t forget the cutest member of the team, Abi. Abi is unrecognizable from the cowering rescue dog that arrived with Dee and her partner Leon in 2015.
Now that she’s comfortable in a safe and loving home, it shows in her newfound confidence.
Bringing Out Your Best
No matter what training or coaching we do with our clients, our guiding principle is to bring out the best with the individuals and teams we work with.
When we work on a one to one with executives and leaders, we help them to bring out their best by overcoming any blockers that get in their way.
Sometimes these blockers are missing skills and knowledge but more often than not, these are mindsets or attitudes that the individual is largely unaware of so they start working with us.
Developing yourself is the best thing to attain. We often start with the individual rather than the team. Once we helped you to be great, then we can help with your teams roll out ways of working.
When you know you have a problem but you don’t know how to pin point – that’s when we talk about executive coaching. We can help with that.
Giving a perfect speech or presentation can change your life and the lives of countless others (life often comes down to a few short moments).
Develop the skills to become an effective and confident public speaker. The perfect course for anyone new to public speaking or who finds it a nerve-wracking experience.
Being a brilliant communicator can bring you wealth and success.
