Public speaking course in Amsterdam: Speak with Impact
Do you freeze up when all eyes are on you? You’re not alone. Public speaking is one of the most common fears out there, but it’s also one of the most powerful skills you can master.
Speak with Impact is a transformative public speaking course in Amsterdam designed to help you speak with confidence, clarity, and purpose. Whether you’re pitching a big idea, leading a team, or stepping onto a stage for the first time, this training will give you the tools you need to speak like a pro.
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.
