“Matt was absolutely brilliant in the workshop he delivered! There was a slick structure to the day that worked to build everyone’s confidence and really bring us together to the group. He was very positive and supportive throughout and made it personal despite the large group. Very impressive!”

“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
