You know your work.
You have the experience.
But when you’re asked to stand up and present to senior management, address a room, pitch to a client, speak at an event or introduce yourself before an important audience, something changes.
Your heart starts racing.
You become overly conscious of what you’re saying.
You speak too quickly.
The “umms” and “aahs” creep in.
You worry about forgetting what you wanted to say.
And sometimes, the confident professional people interact with every day doesn’t come across when you’re standing in front of an audience.
That’s exactly what our Public Speaking Course is designed to help you overcome.
Because at your level, public speaking isn’t simply about giving speeches or motivational speaking. It’s about being able to stand in front of people and communicate your ideas with confidence, clarity and credibility.

Is Fear Holding You Back When You Have to Speak?
You may be perfectly confident having a one-on-one conversation.
But put you in front of 10, 20 or 100 people and suddenly things feel different.
Maybe you:
- Feel nervous or anxious before presentations.
- Know what you want to say but struggle to express it confidently.
- Avoid opportunities that require you to speak publicly.
- Use too many filler words such as “umm,” “ahh,” “you know” or “so.”
- Speak too quickly when nervous.
- Forget what you wanted to say halfway through a presentation.
- Depend too heavily on PowerPoint slides or notes.
- Struggle to maintain eye contact.
- Find it difficult to organise your thoughts when speaking without preparation.
- Worry that people are judging you while you’re speaking.
- Feel intimidated when presenting to senior executives, clients or unfamiliar audiences.
- Want to sound more authoritative without appearing arrogant.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone.
Public speaking confidence is a skill that can be learned and strengthened through the right training and continued practice.
What Would Becoming a Confident Speaker Change for You?
Imagine walking into your next presentation knowing you can handle the room.
Instead of worrying about whether you’ll forget your words, you’re concentrating on your message.
Instead of rushing through your presentation, you’re comfortable using pauses.
Instead of filling silence with “umm” and “ahh,” you speak deliberately.
And instead of wondering what your audience thinks of you, you’re focused on helping them understand and believe what you’re saying.
That’s the transformation we’re looking for.
Because becoming a confident speaker can affect much more than presentations.
It can change how you show up professionally.

What You’ll Learn in Our Public Speaking Classes
1. How to Overcome Fear and Public Speaking Anxiety
Understand what causes nervousness when speaking and learn practical techniques for managing anxiety before and during presentations.
The objective isn’t necessarily to eliminate every butterfly.
It’s to stop nervousness from controlling your performance.
2. How to Speak With Confidence
Learn how your posture, voice, eye contact, pace and body language influence how confident you appear.
You’ll practise communicating with greater presence rather than simply trying to “look confident.”
3. How to Reduce “Umms”, “Aahs” and Other Filler Words
If filler words have become a habit, simply telling yourself to stop saying “umm” rarely works.
You’ll learn why filler words occur and practise techniques such as deliberate pauses, controlled pacing and thought organisation to reduce them.
4. How to Organise Your Thoughts Before You Speak
One of the biggest causes of speaking anxiety is not knowing what you’re going to say next.
You’ll learn simple structures for organising your thoughts so that your presentations have a clear beginning, message and conclusion.
5. How to Speak Without Depending on Notes
Learn how to prepare properly so you can speak naturally without reading paragraphs from slides or memorising your entire presentation word for word.
6. How to Use Your Voice Effectively
Learn how to improve your pace, projection, pauses, emphasis and vocal variety so your audience can comfortably follow and remain engaged with your message.
7. How to Use Body Language and Eye Contact
Understand what your posture, gestures, movement and eye contact communicate before you’ve even finished your sentence.
8. How to Deliver Professional Presentations
Learn how to structure and deliver presentations that are clear, concise and appropriate for professional audiences.
9. How to Handle Questions and Unexpected Situations
Learn how to remain composed when you’re challenged, interrupted, asked difficult questions or temporarily lose your train of thought.
10. How to Speak Impromptu
Not every professional speaking opportunity comes with three days to prepare.
You’ll practise thinking on your feet and responding confidently when you’re unexpectedly asked to speak.
Why Choose Corporate Staffing Services for Public Speaking Training?
There are many public speaking courses in Kenya.
We believe learning how to speak confidently requires more than attending a short course and receiving a certificate.
NITA-Accredited Training Provider
Corporate Staffing Services is accredited by the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA), the government agency responsible for regulating industrial training providers in Kenya.
This gives participants and employers additional confidence in the professional standing of the training provider.
IHRM-Accredited HR Firm
We are also accredited by the Institute of Human Resource Management (IHRM).
As an established HR, recruitment and training firm, we understand public speaking from a workplace perspective — presentations, meetings, leadership communication, interviews, client engagements and career progression.
More Than 3,500 Professionals Trained Since 2018
We have been conducting public speaking training since 2018 and have trained more than 3,500 professionals.
Our participants come from different professions, industries and levels of seniority, but many arrive with the same objective:
“I want to become more confident when I speak in front of people.”
Your Learning Doesn’t End When the Course Ends
This is one of the most important differences in our programme.
You can learn excellent public speaking techniques during training and still lose confidence if you don’t continue practising.
That’s why completing the course is the beginning rather than the end of your development.
Train With Us. Then Keep Practising for Six Months.
Complimentary Six-Month Toastmasters Membership
After completing the public speaking training, participants receive six months’ complimentary membership in our Toastmasters-accredited club.
Why does this matter?
Because public speaking confidence comes from repetition.
During the course, you learn the skills.
After the course, the club gives you an environment where you can continue practising those skills.
You’ll have opportunities to speak, receive feedback, observe other speakers and gradually become more comfortable communicating before an audience.
Instead of attending training for a few days and being left to practise alone, you have a structured environment where you can continue developing.
Learn → Practise → Get Feedback → Practise Again → Build Confidence.
That’s how public speaking becomes a skill rather than simply another course you’ve attended.

Public Speaking Testimonials
My colleagues had always considered me an eloquent and confident person. They would always single me out to make impromptu presentations. My boss would on numerous occasions send me out to represent him in meetings. But what my boss and colleagues did not know is that I was struggling with public speaking. Confidence did not come to me naturally and that’s when I jumped at the opportunity to enroll for the course. Here I learned how to make a good presentation, structure my content and have an impactful delivery. I can now represent my colleagues and my boss in any meeting without fear! -Olivia, Relationship Manager.
When I first joined the speak with confidence class, I was an extremely shy and introverted Accountant. I did not know what to say, how to stop feeling so nervous or how to speak in a confident and convincing manner. It’s only when I saw the training and decided to enroll. In those 7-weeks, one of the most valuable things I learned is that your body language accounts for over 50% of your entire presentation!
At that point I realized where I was failing and in the course of those 7-weeks I mastered how to not only grow my confidence but also how to exude the perfect body language such as eye-contact, vocabulary, movement, among others. I can speak and influence with great confidence. – Janet, Senior Accountant
You will receive a certificate after completion. The public speaking class is a series of practical lessons designed to teach you how to master confidence and presentation skills.
