Client Testimonials

“Matt's expertise shone in our training day. His warmth and candour made us feel so comfortable in a scenario that many of us were wary of at the beginning of the session. His tips on storytelling and public speaking were incredibly helpful and tailored to our everyday work experiences. Personally I feel much more prepared after the training - I can't wait to put my learnings into practice.”

“Matthew! It’s Anna. I’ve been meaning to message you to say THANK YOU so much for my space on the retreat last year. I now work for a premier league football team and rugby team and speak in front of groups regularly, multiple times per week. I love it now having found my style and feeling more able to honour that rather than trying to fit in a box. Thank you so much again. Changed my life!”

“I was lucky enough to attend a workshop with Matt ahead of my first speaking engagement at BrightonSEO, and his advice changed my whole approach to presenting. After being complimented on my public speaking skills, I was able to arrange an in-office workshop for my team to help everyone improve their public speaking skills and confidence. It was an amazing session and everyone felt supercharged afterwards!”

Zoe attended a 6 Point Speaker programme for business/teams.

“I thoroughly enjoyed and got huge value from my time with Matt, as a business owner I have to deliver presentations regularly to new and existing clients, this has never been my strongest skill and I often left meetings feeling like I hadn't delivered my message to the fullest. Since completing Matt's 6-point speaker programme I have gained new skills and confidence that have improved the quality of my presentations, which has also positively affected leads coming into my business.”

Nick attended the 6 Point Speaker programme for personal growth with some bespoke elements.

“I have been increasingly facilitating much larger workshops and speaking at conferences and I wanted specifically to work with a Speech Coach to increase my impact and work with my energy.

Working with Matt gave me a framework to do this, but much more than the techniques the confidence to deliver credible, impactful and energising sessions.

Working together where I could apply my learning to delivery gave me the experience to know what works for me and an increased level of awareness where I can fine tuned in the moment.

The combination of practice, practical tools and exercises and tailored feedback was so useful.”

I got so much value out of your day and I feel like you’ve set me up for life with your tips for speaking - so thank you again for everything!”

“Matt is a professional speaking coach. I wholeheartedly Matt Matheson for his exceptional speaker training.

His expertise is invaluable in getting me ready for the largest public speaking in my career so far.
Matt provided clear guidance throughout the whole process, from setting up your personal objectives to strategies for comfortably reaching them.

I was particularly impressed by his feedback and critics process where he finds and fixes possible issues during your deck delivery. Thanks Matt!”

Luca undertook the 6-Point Speaker Programme with some bespoke elements built in to address some personal requirements.

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a public speaking workshop with the amazing Matt Matheson - The Speaking Coach - and it completely changed the way I think about public speaking. 🎤 🌟

I used to approach public speaking with dread. I'd do it begrudgingly but hate every second of it, and I definitely wouldn't choose to do it if someone gave me the choice. 😨

Now, thanks to Matt, I've learned to approach it like any other skill. If you want to get better at something, you don’t shy away from it; you embrace it, practice it, and work to master it. 💪

So, thank you, Matt, for a great day and training that will stay with me forever. 🙌

“The most valuable thing I found with Matt is his approach to the individual. In a very short time, Matt had me prepared for a global speaking conference and fine-tuned my message and delivery, whilst being true to myself and my style.

Matt is incredibly approachable, relaxed, and very smart. He's a fantastic coach and I will be recommending him to others.”

Harminder undertook the 6-Point Speaker Programme with some bespoke elements built in to address some personal requirements.

“If I could choose one word to describe this programme it would be "transformational". Public speaking has been a huge fear of mine and it doesn't feel as scary any more.

Matt provides a very safe space to try things out. I feel ready to use my voice and put what I've learnt into practise!”

Matt and his team held the retreat both professionally and with great care and passion. It was a wonderfully supportive group and I felt safely held and encouraged to push my comfort zone in speaking up and owning my authentic voice. I came away feeling more confident in who I am and what I have to say and believing in myself as a public speaker. I’m excited about where this will lead.

A wonderful way to connect with yourself and your identity as a speaker. Matt's methodology for working up content and his ideas about how to approach speaking are transformational. Matt has a particular talent for supporting people without being intrusive. Florence House is a wonderful place, and the course attracted wonderful people. In combination with the availability of massage and mindfulness, the retreat was truly special.

“Working with Matt has been a genuinely enlightening experience. I hadn't realised how much PR and media preparation was intertwined with sociology and self-perception. This collaboration has not only greatly enhanced my confidence but also equipped me with comprehensive framework and tools to advance my skills.”

Louis undertook the 6 Point Speaker Programme.

“Matt has a very structured and easy to apply structure to public speaking. We had less than 2 weeks together, and after the talk I got compliments from the audience how professional my talk was, how confident I was, and how clear the message I delivered was. I can't recommend working with Matt enough.”

Pelin undertook the 6 Point Speaker Programme and some parts of the Intuitive Speaker Programme.

“When I went to see Matt, I genuinely was TERRIFIED of public speaking. I needed to host a big speaking event for work and so booked Matt. What a GOOD INVESTMENT.

He took me from an anxious mess to a decent speaker who no longer feels nervous about speaking publicly. I am beyond grateful to Matt and think he has a gift for making miracles happen and ridding you of your nerves. Book him. You won't regret it.”

Jess undertook the 6-Point Speaker Programme and the Intuitive Speaker Programme.

“The retreat was such an incredible and moving experience. I wasn’t too sure what I was letting myself in for, but it truly exceeded all of my expectations. Having already had a chance to put the new techniques and processes into practice, I can say that they have absolutely changed the game for my public speaking.

I now know who I am as a speaker and how to use my voice to be heard. I travelled 11 hours to get to the retreat and would do it again tomorrow! Thank you so much Matt and to the whole team and group. I’ll be forever grateful.”

Anna went on Reset Retreat Summer 2024

“I have never had the opportunity to rest, reset and focus on my confidence and public speaking before. I tend to put my head in the sand until I’m asked to do a presentation and then spend days worrying about it and imagining the worst. Matt and the team created such an amazing space to do this work. The activities were engaging and interesting and I learned so much from each session and the other participants.

I felt thoroughly spoiled by the amazing food and massage and found the opportunities for mindfulness and yoga really helped centre me. Plus being able to go for a coastal walk and swim in the sea in my free time really added to the whole experience.

I left the retreat feeling more confident in my own voice, in what I had to say and much more prepared to speak in public.”

“What a day! 🤩Yesterday I got up at the crack of dawn to travel to London for the brightonSEO Speaker Training Day. If I'm honest, I didn't have particularly high expectations. I've been to some pretty lacklustre training in my time!

But this time, I couldn't have been more impressed. Matt Matheson - The Speaking Coach is an exceptional trainer and I learned absolutely loads. I'm buzzing for the conference in April now and I know without a doubt that my presentation will be better than it would otherwise have been. Thank you, Matt!”

“Booking with Matt has been an absolute joy. From the first emails and meetings to discuss our companies needs to the day itself. He was understanding, prompt and (as expected) an excellent communicator! During our teams sessions, Matt dealt with everyone's initial nerves and concerns immediately and by the end of it we were all a more capable communicator with a workbook and skillset to use and develop. We will absolutely be using Matt again and will recommended him to anyone requiring similar coaching.”

“This was the best training course I've ever done. Both myself and my colleague took so much from our sessions with Matt that will transfer not only across public speaking events but also into our day to day work. Matt creates an environment where you feel encouraged to get out of your comfort zone and push yourself. The mix of practical and theory was great and meant I took so much out of each session. Thanks Matt!”

“A huge thank you to Matt - for sharing his knowledge; for giving us the space to explore. For holding space for us when it felt uncomfortable; for your encouragement; your enthusiasm. For allowing us to be; no pressure but gently guiding us.”
