James helped me step out of my comfort zone and finally start my public speaking journey. He didn’t only help me with confidence and tools to get my public speaking up to scratch. He played a huge part in structuring my voice and organising the chaos in my head. Thank you for everything James. Keep up the excellent work. Highly recommend

Thank you so much James. I was so nervous and unwilling to get up and present in front of a large audience at work and was trying to come up with reasons as to why i wasn't going to do it however decided i was going to do it but needed some professional support! I came across James @ Vensa from a google search and then had a great non obligatory conversation, i was so comfortable on that call with the process and felt at ease with James that i booked the next day for 3 sessions. It was the best 3 hours of time and money spent. James coached me and gave me techniques, he critiqued and supported me and enabled me to be more than ready for the presentation. I really enjoyed the actual presentation with confidence and learned so much about presenting (and my own ability) in those few sessions. I highly recommend James and Vensa. Thank you!

James' coaching was super helpful, it was detailed to my specific concerns about speaking and the techniques have already made a huge difference! I am feeling more confident speaking now and have more control over my breath worth and annunciation.

I reached out around two months ago, as public speaking was the biggest source of misery in my life, even if it was just announcing my name and giving an introduction about myself to a room full of strangers.

This couldn’t continue, so I contacted Vensa Coaching for a 6-week plan and I worked closely with John. It was the perfect match. John started by building up my confidence and dissecting bad public speaking memories. Once my confidence was lifted, the next step was to learn the tricks of the trade.

The techniques discussed and learnt are the foundations of all my public speaking going forward. Under John’s guidance, this would have been impossible, as my personal growth has been remarkable over the last six sessions.

With the course now finished, I am more confident than ever and I firmly believe that this type of coaching would be beneficial for everyone. Thanks again John

I recently worked with James again for the second time. Really helpful advice. Would definitely recommend.

I was absolutely terrified of public speaking and never imagined it was something I could do with even the smallest degree of confidence. When I was invited to take part in a very prestigious event I knew I had to tackle my fears. I signed up for the Gold Package and James was absolutely brilliant in not only helping me prepare, but actually enjoying every minute on the day. The biggest (of many) compliments I received was from an audience member who assumed I did a lot of public speaking. From the outset James tailored a very specific programme to suit my needs and I never felt he was taking a ‘cookie cutter’ approach. He is very friendly, quickly puts you at ease and from the first session starts building your confidence with practical hands-on exercises and strategies for speaking and overcoming nerves. The sessions were insightful and hugely helpful as well as being relaxed and fun. He also gave me plenty of excellent tips and tools to tackle any other opportunities in the future. After trawling through many coaching websites I was particularly impressed by James’ bespoke approach and so glad I picked him. I can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone who wants to overcome anxiety and hone public speaking techniques.

James is a fantastic coach. We worked together on a talk for the Bar & Restaurant Expo in Texas and the process was fantastic.

He really understood the industry and message that I wanted to get over to the audience and helped me to curate the talk to do this.

His personality always shines through and makes e whole process very easy and simple.

I will be using James again for future talks and already recommended him to other colleagues.

Really positive, productive, and effective sessions with James. Outcomes were exactly as hoped. Would highly recommend.

I worked with James to improve my public speaking and become a more well-rounded speaker. The techniques James taught were effective and different compared to the standard techniques. Thank you James for your coaching and I'd highly recommend you.

I can’t recommend James enough. He understood what I needed to work on and devised an approach to ensure that I made significant improvements in those areas. He’s very easy to work with and clearly has a lot of experience in improving people’s public speaking and presenting skills. If you are looking to improve confidence and delivery when it comes to public speaking then James is the man to help.

I enthusiastically recommend James for his impactful coaching training. I had an opportunity to take two training sessions sponsored by my company. His effective methods and interactive group sessions greatly enhanced my confidence and public speaking skills which will lead in positive impact for my clients. James was instrumental in improving my communication skills, especially in the consulting field. Thank you sincerely for your valuable guidance.

James is one of the best public speaking coaches, he helped me to overcome all my public speaking challenges and I'm using his technics when ever I have any presentation.

Thank you James 🙏

I worked with James a few months ago and feel much more confident with my public speaking. James was excellent, he is true expert in this area and I am thankful for his professional approach and the way he has made me feel more confident in my speaking ability. I will definitely contact James again for any future sessions.

James was excellent in coaching me ahead of a large conference. His style is a very collaborative approach and tailored to the needs of the individual ... James was able to help me with my delivery, including being able to build confidence in my voice, whilst being aware of the speed of my speech. I can't thank James enough for his support and coaching.

James ran a really useful set of three sessions which provided a lot of relevant and useful guidance, opportunities to practice and feedback on presentation technique. James is very affable, knowledgable and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!

Brilliant coaches. It's clear that they really care about the work they're doing and make a commitment to help every one that comes their way. I had one session with one of their coaches before thinking 'my team need this' and paying for the entire company to have three sessions. The feedback I've received from the team tells me that this was a good decision to make !

I have just finished the Gold Package (3 x 1 hr) coaching sessions with James and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. He gave lots of simple tips for calming nerves and getting in a good mindset. After the 3 sessions I feel more confident in my abilities as a public speaker and now have useful tools to help me feel more prepared. I would definitely recommend James as a public speaking coach.

It was an absolute pleasure working with James at Vensa Coaching, from a warm welcome to an in-depth knowledge of tactics and approaches, each session built on established methods that could be practised and reviewed. James put me at ease and made something that I was somewhat dreading into a hugely educational and enjoyable experience. I have no doubts I will be in touch again.

I had the pleasure of working with James to help develop the quality and confidence of my public speaking. Through the very reasonably priced Gold Package, I was able to address all the areas of concern I had about my speaking in a comfortable environment. James's coaching covered a wide variety of tips and skills while also conferring a practical benefit by encouraging lots of informal conversation resulting in me talking quite a bit during our sessions without even realising it. Based on my experience, Vensa Coaching would be my number one recommendation to anyone looking to improve their speaking in front of other generally.

Big thank you to James and Vensa Coaching for the workshop. It was perfectly tailored to the needs of our organisation, and covered a wide range of topics in a way that was constantly engaging and useful without being overwhelming. Put the skills to use the following week with great success!

I had 3 x one hour sessions with James, the first was a face to face, the other two by Skype. All three were valuable. James is a very likeable guy who knows his subject and how to get across the essentials. He gave me a lot of useful feedback and encouragement, and was always willing to go the extra mile! Recommended!

So much patience, great energy and super clear guidance. I felt immediately more confident and prepared following the session. Pleased to report it all went smoothly - no word salad or brain freezes or garbled tangents! Very much down to my excellent coach. I'd 10000% recommend working with him and will do so again!

We were really pleased with the quality of workshop provided by Vensa. Packed full of practical tips and very well targeted to our business. Took the time to liaise with the team beforehand, to ensure that the content was tailored. Genuinely think it will have a marked impact on presentations going forward. Highly recommended.

James’s energy is infectious and his coaching style is rooted in positivity and support. The workshops were interactive and full of activities to put the theory into practice ... Thank you James, our people felt great about their public speaking and presenting abilities after spending time with you. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic series of workshops provided by James at Vensa Coaching, packed full of useful tips and activities, that were tailored to our business and ways of working. The consistently high praise and feedback from our teams is a testament to it’s success, and the value added to our people and business!

Support on a major presentation for my work allowed me to refine my content, streamline my presentation and prepare for a great delivery.

Fantastic coaching, delivered by an understanding and friendly professional. I would highly recommend Vensa Coaching to anyone who is looking to give an edge to their presentation skills.

I had the great opportunity to participate in one of James' "Supercharged Speaking" training. It was very helpful to learn methods and tools for public speaking in different situations. I highly recommend James as a coach and his training.

James has been a fantastic coach. He has helped me build my confidence to speak in public. We practiced different pitches for work. He taught me some techniques and I have felt super positive to move forward with my media work. He always made me feel relaxed and we practiced different scenarios together. I had fun learning and James was always super friendly and kind. I look forward to working with James in the near future. Thank you!

James prepared the classes really well and put me at ease straight away. He understood my fears and nerves and helped me deal with them. I’ve put everything he taught me into practice and its made a huge difference. ... Thank you, James!

James provided first class public speaking coaching over three sessions to help me prepare for a talk I was invited to do. It was far beyond my comfort zone and capabilities but he provided great insight, guidance and motivation. The end result was that I smashed it! thank you James. I’ll certainly be in touch for my next talk.

James’s coaching is crisp and concise, packed with great and easy to implement advice. Sessions are productive, fun and occasionally hilarious. Would definitely recommend.
