Public speaking course in Amsterdam: Why speaking skills matter

Let’s be real: having a great idea isn’t enough if you can’t communicate it clearly. Strong public speaking skills can boost your credibility, develop your leadership and open doors in your career.

Whether you're managing a team, presenting to stakeholders, or networking at events, how you speak matters. Poor communication can cost you promotions or partnerships. And the nerves? Totally normal.

Luckily, public speaking is a skill you can learn. And that’s where Speak with Impact comes in.

Speak with Impact: A transformative public speaking course

Speak with Impact is a two-day, hands-on public speaking course in Amsterdam that fast-tracks your presentation skills. Think of it as a pressure cooker for effective communication in the best possible way.

On Day 1, we dive deep into story and structure: how to craft a message that matters, build tension, and keep your audience engaged from the first word to the last. On Day 2, the focus shifts to delivery and presence: using your body language, voice, and energy to bring your story to life and truly connect with your audience.

But what really sets this training apart?

✅ Super interactive – no boring lectures

Forget passively listening to endless theory. This course is built around learning by doing. You’ll be on your feet from the start, experimenting, playing, practising and discovering what works for you.

✅ Real-time practice and feedback

You’ll practise multiple times in front of the group, with expert trainers guiding you every step of the way. The personal feedback you receive is immediate, constructive, and tailored to your unique strengths and challenges.

✅ Focus on authentic storytelling

We believe that your greatest power as a speaker lies in your story – and in your ability to share it with honesty and heart. You won’t learn a generic script. Instead, you’ll learn to unleash your story in a way that feels natural, confident, and impactful.

✅ Speak with confidence, presence and heart

Whether you're pitching an idea, leading a team, or inspiring a room full of strangers, you’ll leave this course with tools to speak from a place of confidence, clarity, and emotional connection. You’ll learn how to own the room – not by being louder, but by being more you.

✅ Learn the techniques top speakers use

We break down the habits of powerful public speakers into practical, accessible steps:
– How to use your body language to radiate confidence
– How to manage nerves and use your energy effectively
– How to use storytelling to make your message land
– How to create structure that sticks
– How to connect with any audience, even the tough ones

You’ll leave with a deep understanding of how you come across, what your personal speaking style is, and how to elevate it without losing your authenticity. Many participants say it feels like a breakthrough. Like finally becoming the speaker (and leader) they were meant to be.

For professionals who want to:

  • Sharpen their presentation skills in a short amount of time
  • Practise in a safe but challenging environment
  • Improve their presence and influence at work
  • Communicate with more clarity, conviction and connection
  • Take their public speaking skills to the next level, fast
