Post-pandemic, communication is everywhere — Zoom calls, in-person presentations, spontaneous hallway chats, cross-functional meetings. Whether you’re a VP presenting strategy, a new hire giving a project update, or an individual trying to gain confidence, the ability to speak clearly, concisely, and confidently has never mattered more.
But here’s the truth: Most public speaking training doesn’t work.
That’s because most programs treat the symptoms of bad speaking — filler words, fidgeting, ums and uhs — instead of addressing the root cause: a lack of trust in your own thinking under pressure.
So how do you find a training program that truly transforms your communication?
We believe the most effective training shares three traits:
1. It treats the root cause, not the symptoms
Forget tips and tricks. Great speakers aren’t born, and they don’t memorize scripts. They’ve trained their brains to think clearly on the fly. The real skill isn’t perfect delivery — it’s learning how to think and speak at the same time without spiraling.
The best training teaches:
- How to slow your thoughts down when nerves kick in
- How to stop rambling and structure your thinking
- How to stay present instead of mentally scripting every sentence
2. It’s built around practice and feedback
Would you learn tennis by watching videos and reading books? Of course not. Yet that’s how many speaking programs are designed — you listen, you take notes, and you hope something sticks.
Real improvement comes from:
- Practicing in realistic, high-pressure scenarios
- Getting live feedback from expert coaches
- Repeating, experimenting, and growing in real time
At Ultraspeaking, 90% of every session is spent practicing. Our coaches observe, tweak, and encourage — helping people internalize progress, not just understand it intellectually.
Whether you’re part of a team in a private workshop or an individual joining one of our public cohorts, you’ll benefit from dynamic practice and expert feedback.
3. It makes learning fun
The fastest way to build confidence? Make the learning experience joyful.
We don’t believe in performance anxiety or stiff presentation drills. We believe in games. We believe in experimentation. We believe in getting messy, trying things, laughing, and getting back up again.
When people feel safe to fail, they learn faster. When they have fun, they retain more. That’s why our training is lively, unexpected, and genuinely enjoyable — even for skeptics.
Comparing Your Options
When evaluating training programs, it’s helpful to understand the landscape. Most offerings fall into three categories:
1. Traditional Speaking Programs
These programs focus on classical presentation skills — posture, enunciation, slide design, but often feel outdated or overly formal. They help with polish and optimizations, but focus less on inner confidence.
2. Self-paced AI Apps
These apps provide speaking prompts and give AI-driven feedback on metrics like pace, eye contact, or filler words. They’re great for casual practice but lack human insight and don’t address deeper mindset shifts.
Best for: Self-motivated learners who want to track performance
Watch out for: No human feedback, shallow progress, not built for teams or deep transformation
3. Executive Coaching Firms
These providers offer personalized 1:1 coaching or small workshops, often focused on high-stakes presentations. Results can be strong but tend to be expensive, high-pressure, and less scalable.
Best for: Executives preparing for big moments
Watch out for: High cost, limited availability, formal tone.
Why Ultraspeaking Stands Out
Ultraspeaking combines the depth of live coaching with the fun and flexibility of modern learning. Whether you’re an individual looking to join a cohort or a manager bringing training to your team, you’ll experience a radically different approach to communication.
- Individuals: Join our public cohorts and build confidence in a supportive, growth-minded community.
- Teams: Book a private workshop tailored to your goals — from speaking up in meetings to delivering client presentations.
We don’t just teach you how to speak — we help you enjoy it.
