Public Speaking with Project Charisma - Manchester

Ed is an outstanding public speaking coach. I worked with him to refine sessions for upcoming speaking engagements, and the impact was huge. He helped me sharpen my messaging, structure my content for maximum engagement, and deliver with confidence.

He has a real talent for getting to the heart of what you’re trying to say and pushing you to be braver in how you say it. His feedback is precise - validating what works and offering sharp, practical ways to improve. From tone and gestures to adding moments of drama, his insights made a massive difference.

Brilliant to work with, and I was delighted with the results we achieved together.

Credible, Engaging and Memorable.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a workshop on "Presenting & Communicating with Impact" delivered by Ed, and it exceeded all expectations. The session was thoughtfully structured, incorporating engaging and thought-provoking exercises that encouraged active participation from the group.

Ed generously shared his personal experiences and insights, which made the content even more impactful. His tailored feedback for each participant was incredibly valuable, offering personalised tips and guidance that really resonated.

The materials and post-workshop resources were crafted with great attention to detail, adding a luxurious touch that is rare to find in training providers.

The workshop not only equipped participants with new skills but also significantly boosted their confidence, culminating in the delivery of impactful speeches by the end. The transformation in the participants was remarkable, and I have no doubt the session provided lifelong learnings for everyone involved.

I’m eagerly looking forward to booking Ed and Project Charisma again in the future. I cannot recommend him highly enough—this workshop was truly worth every penny!

Project Charisma was not only useful and applicable, but very enjoyable! For the sake of full transparency, I would like to think I lack anything but charisma and usually find workshops like this fairly useless, naff and fairly pointless, however Ed at Project Charisma was anything but that and I would definitely recommend for both personal and professional use. Much of the lessons and training he delivered are now things I put into practice daily, and have seen real benefit from! Ed was engaging, insightful and clearly very talented. 10/10.

I had the privilege of working with project charisma when I commissioned a day of on-site training for our team at Valto in Chester.

Ed was our public speaking coach, and I can confidently say that he is exceptional at what he does.

From the moment we met, Ed’s personable demeanor put us at ease. He took the time to understand each team member’s unique strengths and weaknesses, tailoring his coaching approach accordingly.

Throughout the training sessions, Ed shared a wealth of knowledge, equipping us with practical tips and tricks to control our nerves and present more professionally.

His insights were invaluable, and we quickly put them into practice. We presented multiple times throughout the day, and by the end of it, we were transformed and our confidence drastically increased.

I attended Project Charisma's public speaking workshop and 1-2-1 sessions, and must say Ed is brilliant to work with. The workshop was superbly organized, informative, and engaging. He really manages to put nervous speakers at ease and I learned a lot of valuable techniques, and skills that have helped me become more confident and effective in public speaking. Working with Ed as my coach - he’s patient, encouraging, and I’ve gotten a lot more than I thought I would from the sessions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their public speaking skills!

I had a great opportunity and pleasure to attend a Saturday Public Speaking Masterclass with Ed. From the first minutes of meeting Ed, I felt very welcome and comfortable. Ed is a true professional and has an incredible attention to detail.

The course is well thought of, and nothing is left unanswered. With plenty of tips, guidance, and practice – the course will get you on the right track to master your public speaking skills.

Without any hesitation - I would highly recommend Project Charisma to everyone! Thank you Ed! Kris.

A lovely day-long course with a supportive group and a fantastic trainer.

Ed's expertise as a public speaking coach really shone through, and we looked at public speaking from lots of different angles from body language and vocal technique to structuring a speech. Ed had structured engaging exercises throughout to create a fun and collaborative atmosphere that helped to build my confidence before the end-of-day speeches.

I came away from the course with a huge boost in confidence and plenty of tips and techniques to improve my public speaking and communication more broadly. Ed also produces professional looking videos end-of-day speeches - mine has allowed me to reflect on my progress and is perfect quality for sharing.

Would highly recommend this course - comprehensive and engaging training with someone who is clearly an expert in his field and truly cares about helping others to reach their full potential.

Ed came to do a webinar on "Speaking with Charisma" at the HR Geek Squad in March 2024 and the session was FANTASTIC!

He worked really with the the audience (a zoom room of HR people on international women's day!) and delivered a really impactful session crammed full of tips, confidence boosting coaching and great learning points.

We'd absolutely have Ed back for another session, and the Geeks haven't stopped talking about it since! Thanks so much Ed!
