SpeakUP! The exciting route to public speaking

It’s been found that people are more afraid of speaking in public than they are afraid of death! However, today we can’t keep running away from situations that need us to speak out.

At Applause Factory, we know how to help you face and tackle these fears. We believe learning to speak with impact could be simple, effective… and also great fun.

We at Applause Factory have been students and practitioners of public speaking for several years. As part of a world-wide forum, we have been mentoring and training individuals and groups to speak their minds to win.
