An excellent course (Executive Presence) and very well facilitated. It provides much-needed insights and adds real value to our day-to-day effectiveness.

Excellent. I have gained more knowledge and skills from this workshop (Speak to Inspire) than other courses in recent memory. A must for every senior manager.

We found SuccessTalks' Speak to Inspire training of tremendous value. It brought home the need to focus less on the logic/content but more on how we can use our voice and physiology to present and get our messages across. We recommend it to anyone who wants to develop more effective platform speaking skills.

Roger has given me the confidence, skills and structure vital in effective public speaking. In just a few sessions my speaking abilities were transformed in a way I had not believed possible. I would recommend him without reservation to any chief executive or board director who takes seriously the need to communicate effectively with investors, customers and employees.

Roger coached me to deliver an important speech at a major U.S. advertising industry conference.  As a result I was voted top speaker.  I thoroughly recommend him to anyone who wants to make dramatic improvements in their public speaking abilities.
Pat Murphy
Director of Broadcasting
Leo Burnett 

Roger Jones of SuccessTalks helped me to develop a truly memorable and original presentation for the Economist Automotive Roundtable held in Tokyo in the summer of 2002. Roger Jones showed me how to make my ideas come alive on the conference platform. The conference chairman noted when I had finished speaking that it was "the most memorable and stimulating talk" he had ever heard at an international conference and I know that much of the credit for my successful talk lies with Roger's coaching.
Duncan Bartlett

Roger's Speak to Inspire programme surpassed my expectations and has moved my public speaking skills to a new level.  In particular, he showed me how to use story telling to reinforce business messages; the importance of non-verbal communication when engaging your audience and how to increase my confidence.  I know he could help you become a more effective public speaker, regardless of your current level of experience.
Jeff Grout

Roger, I would like to thank you again for the inspiration and tips you've given me this year...the talks that I've done more recently are certainly much better and I feel that I've been able to be more myself and develop a better style. The structure idea works great and mentally preparing myself is a revelation! 
Jennifer Costello
National Radio Presenter

Roger, thank you for a mind blowing session yesterday! As a result of your advice on knowing "my end game" I have become very focussed.  My confidence is really riding high as a result. That was a wonderful output for me from our session together and I will certainly be spreading the word.

Since we worked together I have used my new skills to great effect in a variety of business settings.  I am not only impressed with your coaching skills but more importantly with your genuine commitment to support clients and build a true partnership.
Andrew Richardson

It was important for our employee roadshow to be a success so we asked Roger to coach each speaker.  The feedback from those he worked with was extremely positive.  Thanks to Roger's efforts and insights the event was very well received.
