Ges gave a condensed presentation on speaking in public. Even in that short time he was able to provide some excellent practical nuggets to take away, relevant to the least confident and to the most experienced alike. Thank you Ges.

I'm not so confident when it comes to speaking in front of others.
Ges gave me several great pointers on how to come across well when speaking publicly. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their speaking and listening skills.

I was very flattered to be asked to speak to local business owners at a Santander Business Breakthrough event in Dorking on 30th November 2016. But the prospect was also very nerve-racking! Luckily Ges was able to give me some brilliant tips on how to engage my audience and suppress my nerves. Thank you so much Ges - I absolutely recommend you to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

I saw Ges speak at a Professional Speakers Association event and was blown away with his stage craft. His voice is magnetising and he delivered exceptional value that I can't wait to start practising. His professionalism is clear to see and I'd never hesitate to recommend him. Thanks Ges

Ges gave us a fantastic workshop which was well structured with very useful content but also gave us the freedom to experiment with the different techniques he suggested. As a result I now have a completely different approach to public speaking - all achieved in a concentrated morning session. Many thanks, Ges!

People say I come across confident but when it comes to standing up in front of an audience, inside I'm petrified.
All the usual fears of sounding stupid and not being understood.
Ges has helped me so much.
I attended a workshop in public speaking and learnt the power of taking my time. 60 seconds is actually longer than you first think.
If you feel somewhat scared when it comes to selling yourself in front of an audience, call Ges. He really can help, he helped me!
Thanks Ges, you're really are amazing :)

Ges generously agreed to run a short confidence and technique building session for a group of people with aphasia who attend Dyscover (www.dyscover.org.uk) People with aphasia find it difficult to use and understand language, usually as a result of stroke. Ges immediately set everyone at ease, and despite their limited language effectively helped all participants to understand the 5 simple skills for boosting confidence and engagement. He encouraged people to try changing one thing about the way they presented themselves and experience the difference in how they felt and how they were perceived. The session was fun, easy to follow and one of the most effective examples of training I've seen.
Thank you very much Ges from all at Dyscover!

The moment Ges started speaking last week, with his rich mellow voice I knew I would be listening attentively. He delivered an impressive, memorable, entertaining and valuable short talk at a meeting for professional speakers. I can still recall his stories, tips, advice and how to use 4 cavities we have available to enhance our presentations. Well done and thanks Ges

I know Ges through local Business Networking.
Not being a natural speaker, I booked onto one of Ges's highly recommended courses.
Although I now need to practice, the course has given me some wonderful tips on being able to stand up, give a more relaxed and professional talk when needed.

Ges workshop has worked wonders with my confidence, he broke it down into small steps that when you step back you realise, of course. Then he guided you through it, builds your confidence. Just need to get out there practising.

Ges has helped me refine my public speaking skills once on an individual basis and then again as part of a short course. He has a friendly and approachable manner and his is advice and techniques are invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Ges was given a short slot to present at our Omni Local Business Networking Meeting in Kingston yesterday. Amazingly he managed to increase the confidence and ability of all of us in general public speaking skills and how to present our 60 second promotion with maximum effect.
It worked for beginners to those who thought they knew it all already from years of experience. Thanks Ges!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Ges if you are looking for someone inspiring to help you make a great impact when you stand up and speak. I spoke in public for the first time last week and Ges gave me the confidence to do so, and without any notes! Thank you Ges.

I can highly recommend Ges for coaching in public speaking. In a very short period of time he was able to provide insight and suggested improvements to presentations, and improve confidence when presenting. Practical steps were also suggested which I adopted and found very helpful.

I attended a public speaking workshop with Ges at Surrey University. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to see the techniques I have heard about in books being used in person to observe! I then went on to practice and use all these techniques in my assessment centre at Microsoft for placement year at university and everybody there was super impressed with my presentation... and I am not going to lie, my presentation was far better than everybody else’s! They all commented on it after I finished! Then low and behold, few days later I got offered the placement! I am absolutely ecstatic and I would recommend the workshop to everybody as effective presenting is a vital characteristic!!

Ges' simple but effective methods can help even the most nervous public speaker accomplish significant improvements in their delivery, content and confidence. As a skill that many of us desire but shy away from, finding the right person to work with in developing one's public speaking ability is crucial. Ges' expertise and personable approach make him a brilliant tutor and the ideal person to work with in developing your talent for public speaking.

The importance of soft skills (such as effective presenting) in the work place cannot be underestimated and Ges' experience in the corporate world provides an invaluable additional dimension to his tutelage. As a participant and pupil of one of Ges' training sessions (and someone who would regularly shy away from public speaking), I would not hesitate in recommending Ges to anyone wanting to learn or improve the valuable skill of effective speaking in public.

Ges gave the Fundraising Team of Woking & Sam Beare Hospices a lesson on public speaking. He talked us through techniques that will help us to control our nerves and to be more effective in engaging with an audience. The training was extremely interactive and even the more senior fundraisers benefitted from a well delivered training.

I did a presentation skills workshop with Ges at the start of the year, whilst undertaking an internship with a company during my last year of university. I found his workshop really helped my public speaking and presentation skills and helped my confidence going into my final year presentations and contributed towards me gaining my 2:1 degree. I would recommend Ges to anyone looking for help with public speaking or presentations.

I attended a 1 day workshop on public speaking with Ges yesterday. Safe to say that before the event, I was absolutely dreading it. Much to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Ges made everyone feel so at ease, quickly gaining the groups trust and building individual’s confidence to try out the new techniques learnt in a safe / collaborative environment. I got such a lot out of the day, and am (almost) looking forward to my next work presentation!!

Ges delivered an absolutely fantastic workshop to a mixture of aspiring entrepreneurs and people looking to develop confidence and public speaking skills. Everyone remained fully engaged throughout the workshop and people expressed how they felt they had really learnt something that they could take away and apply in future practice.

Not only did Ges deliver a brilliant workshop, he has also thoroughly motivated me to want to get involved with more public speaking opportunities. I would fully recommend him!

Ges is an excellent public speaking coach. His coaching sessions have given me better confidence when presenting to groups and an understanding of how I can keep the audience focused on me and the message I am delivering.

Ges gave us some valuable coaching on the fundamental points of public speaking and helped us with preparation for a workshop. His approach is friendly and fun which is particularly comforting to those with little public speaking experience! I would happily recommend Ges
