Testimonials……..What others say:
‘Just before I moved into headship I had a couple of public speaking sessions with Sarah. They proved to be invaluable. I’m not a natural orator and still remember the feelings of absolute dread at being asked to speak in assembly as a child. With my new role I was to be in front of large groups every day. Sarah immediately boosted my confidence. By giving me some practical techniques to use before and during speaking she enabled me to relax and deliver my words clearly and not at 100 miles an hour! Now years later I enjoy speaking to large groups and continue to use Sarah’s excellent training. If you are a nervous public speaker or just want to improve your technique Sarah is your woman. Money definitely well spent and a highly enjoyable experience.’
Karen Donaghey
‘The last time I had to speak in public was 30 years ago at my wedding and I made a real and embarrassing mess of it. When my dad died, I really wanted to speak at his funeral, but was nervous that the same thing would happen again. I had 4 sessions with Sarah, I felt very comfortable working with her, she gave me practical guidance on things like how to stand, use my voice and engage with the audience. She also helped with the content of my speech, to make sure it flowed well. I couldn’t believe the difference it made, and neither could my family, it was so good to be able to deliver my dad’s eulogy successfully’

Working with Sarah has been a delight. Her patience, preparation and thoughtfulness are a perfect combination for anyone who wants to speak confidently and clearly. If Sarah is available, sign up for her classes. I was astonished at how quickly she understood what I needed, and what’s more how she came up with really effective teaching ideas. I definitely had the feeling she listened closely to my needs. She was obviously very experienced, but I always felt she was putting together lessons that were special to me.” “Thank you Sarah for all your advice. It was punchy, memorable and to the point. I can’t believe how helpful it was.”
Dr Michael Blowfield
‘As a writer I dreaded reading aloud or speaking at literary festivals. Sarah Souster taught me how to own my space and control my shaking voice. After working with her I began to actively enjoy addressing an audience.’
Penny Hancock – author
Sarah was truly a lifesaver for me! I would highly recommend Sarah for any person looking to improve their public speech skills or to any company looking to increase the presentation skills of their staff. I was apprehensive, fearful and very nervous about the thought of making a conference speech. Sarah helped me refine and structure my talking points, prepare for the unexpected and focus my energy on a positive outcome. Sarah’s style is very engaging, fun and she quickly taught me to relax. I walked away with the confidence needed to make my speech.
