Public Speaking Training
Gain the confidence to share your message with the world.
Public speaking is torture if your head’s not in the game.
Even with all the tools and techniques, if you’re petrified, you’ll never deliver a great presentation.
My public speaking training in Wollongong will help you first get your head right and then layer in the skills you need to overcome your fear and show up confidently.
In a relaxed, friendly environment you’ll not only become a better presenter, you may just become a better person too.
Happy Clients:
Terrified and anxious
about public speaking or presenting?
It’s natural to feel uncomfortable when asked to speak in public. But if swimming with sharks genuinely seems like a better option…
It’s time to do something about it.
Speaking confidently in public isn’t really about learning a new skill set. It’s about learning to manage your own mind. The self-doubt, the inner critic, the fear of judgement. These are mental health skills, not presentation skills.
My Public Speaking Training covers both.
You will: Gain confidence personally and professionally. Discover your strengths and play to them. Sharpen your natural communication style. Navigate stress, fear and self-criticism. Learn to deliver your ideas with clarity, confidence and authenticity.
When you sort your head out, everything else follows.
" Jodie’s Public Speaking Training exceeded all my expectations. Comprehensive, fun and highly effective... Thank you Jodie."

UOW Speaking with Confidence Participant
“I now feel equipped to write an effective speech and I have taken away some key strategies that I can use to present. Jodie’s presentation was informative, comprehensive and professionally presented. Thank you.”
Candidate, Animal Justice Party
“Public speaking is no ones favorite thing so I was nervous and unsure of what would be expected of me. I was pleasantly surprised. Jodie made it a safe and supportive environment and we were given permission to try and fail, but we all succeeded. It was a great experience and I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone. There is a sneaky bit of personal growth here so its worthwhile on so many levels.”
Tracey Wilson. University of Wollongong
“Attending Jodie’s public speaking course opened up unexpected opportunities. I not only learnt techniques for public speaking, I was able to transfer skills into 1:1 conversations. Jodie made a very daunting course, comfortable and safe environment. Thanks Jodie!”
Sarah Lisle. Speaking with Confidence Participant
“The Public Speaking course exceeded all my expectations. Comprehensive, fun and highly effective… Thank you Jodie.”
Chris Homer, Mayor. Shellharbour City Council
The Amazing part was that even though. I was incredibly nervous I knew I could do it. Even more amazing was the fact that while i do not in any way see myself as a great public speaker (yet) I really enjoyed it!
– Louise Steffens
“Jodie is amazing. She has inspired me to be a better person and to look at things differently. She is incredibly authentic and a lovely person.She walks the walk and doesn’t come in to your organisation and tell you what to do. She shows you the way. I would recommend Jodie for whatever you need help with.”
Tracey Wilson, University of Wollongong
“I attended a course on public speaking with Jodie Cooper as our lecturer. It was an amazing day and she helped us all to feel more confident when confronted by an audience.
I can highly recommend Jodie. She gives a course that is clear and precise and one leaves with so much more confidence.
Thank you Jodie. I learnt so much from you. I definitely recommend doing this course if you are facing public speaking.”
Sally Mynhardt, Registered Nurse
“Jodie Cooper was instrumental in assisting us with word-smithing a presentation that Modfab was giving at an international conference. Her expert advice and coaching was invaluable!”
Heike Roberts, Education Director. Modfab Pty Ltd
“I recently attended Jodie Cooper’s “Public Speaking Course”… and all I can say is WOW! What I love the most about Jodie’s sessions is the positive mindset that you can’t help but walk away with. I am excited to reflect and build upon and the frameworks Jodie shared and walked away from the session feeling inspired and ready to tackle my upcoming public speaking responsibilities. So thank you Jodie for sharing your expertise and building my motivation and confidence to tackle my public speaking fears.”
Carlie Page-Quinn, Training & Development Officer. ECTARC
“I am finding it way easier to speak in public now. I’ve hosted quite a few Information nights and I was speaking in front of 120 peeps the other day and that was completely unplanned and off the cuff. I’ve also joined Business Networking and I know I would have really struggled with all of these things if I hadn’t done your course. Thank you Jodie, you are so good at what you do!”
Alysia Samperi, Director. Life Wave
“Having recently participated in the Public Speaking Workshop at UOW, it gave me an introduction to the skills and the courage to put what I learnt into practice with opportunities to speak in front of two audiences so far. Jodie’s sound knowledge and her personality were so beneficial to me and how I participated.”
Debbie Critcher, Student Services Officer. University of Wollongong
“The Public Speaking course was not just an exceptional course, it was an exceptional experience. I enjoyed every minute of it! I gained a multitude of new skills and my confidence levels increased ten fold. I went away feeling like I could really capture and engage my audience in a way that I have not done before. Thank you Jodie, I can honestly say that this course was life changing!!”
Tina Hunt. Wollongong Cancer Council
“I loved the speaking workshop that Jodie facilitated. It exceeded all expectations and I learnt so much in the process about not only myself, but my presentation style and the theory behind presenting and positive psychology. Thank you so much for making it such a positive journey. I now look at presenting in a totally different light and look forward to presenting in the near future. I would highly recommend Jodie’s workshop to anyone who would like to learn to be a better presenter.”
Eloise, University of Wollongong
“I wanted to send you a big thank you for your fantastic workshop on a subject a lot of people dread … Public Speaking! You took the fear out of this process for me and I’ve already taken on board the various tips and tricks for successful speaking in the future.
Thank you for an engaging, fun, encouraging and helpful workshop – I totally recommend attending Jodie’s workshop if you want to conquer the fear … and turn it instead into a very positive experience!”
Jo Singletary, University of Wollongong
“I was recently offered the opportunity to do a 20 minute business presentation at a major event, run by Pat Mesiti, on the Gold Coast. I contacted Jodie Copper, and booked a 1 hour public speaking coaching session. In that hour Jodie quickly sifted my ideas and enabled me to hone in on my message. Jodie has an ability to ask the right questions that weeded out the unnecessary content and enabled me to choose the right direction for my presentation. Timing is one of the most important aspects of presenting, and Jodie helped me get my main points across with this in mind.
Jodie, many thanks for your input it was a huge help! I can report that my presentation went really well, I was able to deliver great content on time and with confidence, with many people giving positive feedback. THANKS JODIE, YOU ROCK!”
David Jennings, Owner. David Jennings Building

Shaz Harrison-Shaw, CEO. Need-a-feed
“I have been speaking publically for many years, but I still found Jodie’s course very beneficial. She taught me things I didn’t know that I didn’t know and I feel that my speaking skills and confidence has certainly improved. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in investing in themselves!”
