My Success Story
I was not always as confident as I am today. I was the victim of bullying because of the tone of my voice. Though I engaged in A LOT of speaking activities, competitions and events whilst in school, I did not like the sound of my own voice or even dream of it having “value”. Really and truly, I sang more than I spoke. However, while attending UWI, Mona, someone fell in love with the raspiness in my voice, gave me training and opened the door for my event hosting journey. I
even became “Hall Orator” for two years on the Mary Seacole Hall, UWI.After listening to my oratory at a Prize Giving Ceremony at the Westwood High School in 2018, internationally acclaimed speaker, Rev. Jermaine Johnson, took me on as a mentee and masterfully coached me in the art and excellence of public speaking. Having applied the lessons learned, I gained great exposure, landing in audiences with corporate companies, government entities, schools, churches and NGOs.I decided to share what I have learned with others and from April 2020 until now, I
have trained over 250 individuals and groups through ‘The Art and Etiquette of Public Speaking Course” and workshops held throughout the year. Many success stories have been birthed from these training sessions which served entrepreneurs,religious leaders, civil servants, students, educators, etc.I am FULLY committed to seeing my clients slay the stay and stay confident as speakers. With insight into the psychology and biology of public speaking, clientshave been equipped with proven, practical knowledge that can be applied to ANY SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT! Would you like to learn more about this? Book a call or sign up for an upcoming course or workshop!
How I Work
My Teaching Process
01. DEAL WITH THE FEAR
Examine the biology and psychology of glossophobia (fear of public
speaking) and identify what the specific weaknesses or triggers for the fear.
01. DESIGN A PLAN
Assess strategies and techniques that can be used to manage and eventually
eliminate the fear of public speaking (dos and don’ts). Additionally, learning
event etiquette for speakers so that one’s presence on and off the stage is
respected.
03. DELIVERY TIME
Put these tips to use! Assignments, impromptu speeches, presentations and
other practical activities are employed to see how effective these tools are
and how best to engage them.
Whether you struggle with the fear of public speaking, want to improve your
speaking skills or want to elevate your stage presence, VITV is the best choice to
help empower your voice! (Then the book a session button below)
