"This course is the best course I have ever attended." - “Teaching us how to speak with heart and feeling is the most useful part of the course because this has truly brought up the true presentation skill of mine.” "Raja was just conducting a simple letter writing lesson, yet he was able to touch me and make me feel. I am amazed! How does he do it?" - course participants
What is the goal of any talk, speech or presentation?
It is to have our audience fully understand and fully absorb our message.
But how do we do that?
Is it by having one, or more, or all of these?
- Appealing visual aids?
- Appropriate body language?
- Exact profiling of the audience?
- Correct pronunciation and clear articulation?
- Perfect grammar?
- Thorough understanding of the subject matter?
Though, all of these are valuable in speeches and presentations, yet we can have all of these qualities, yet still fail in our goal to fully put our message across to our audience.
Why is this so? It is because we may not have the one quality that Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, talk-show host Oprah Winfrey and motivational guru Anthony Robbins have. It is one quality that all great speakers and presenters have.
Many terms have been used to describe this quality: being sincere, real, authentic, genuine, charismatic, being in the flow, centred etc. The name of it is not important. What is important is the effect it creates on the audience.
This quality first captures and then completely holds the attention and interest of the audience throughout the talk or presentation.
We all have this natural quality or ability. We have forgotten that we have it, because of the various roles that we are required to play in our daily lives.
Though forgotten, this ability is not lost. We have developed a way to bring out this natural ability. We have termed it ‘Speaking from the Heart’.
With this quality your talk or presentation you will connect with your audience, and your talk or presentation will be captivating, but without it, no matter how well prepared you are, how hard you try to impress your audience, or how well or how clearly you speak, you’ll not be able to capture your audience’s whole attention, and therefore not be able to put your message across fully.
Anyone and everyone has this innate ability – there are no exceptions. We’ll draw out this quality from you in our 2-day course, guaranteed, or your money back.
You prepare and make three presentations, one at the start of the course and the other two, after you have drawn out the 'Speaking from the Heart' quality from you.
At the end of the course, you will:
- Realise what makes powerful speaking
- Know and apply the principles of effective communication
- Prepare and use training aids (Powerpoint slides, whiteboards and flip-charts
- Avoid common errors
- Overcome the fear of public speaking
- Present like a professional
- Be your authentic self when you speak or present
Register for the course as soon as possible, as the class has been restricted to 12 participants.

I have been conducting this course monthly for over 5 years at MINDEF and in our public runs of the course. You will find that with the 'Speaking from the Heart' quality that you will reveal during the course, is the single most important aspect of any presentation you can give.
