Reviews for Public Speaking Classes in Chicago

Public Speaking Classes in Chicago are rated 4.4 stars based on 71 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • The opened me up to talk to anyone anytime. It happened when we had to speak to someone in the class that you didn’t know
  • Dynamic Interactions

    This was incredibly helpful. I learned so much about myself and how I interact with others. My confidence definitely grew throughout this workshop. I loved learning what "color" style others and I fall into, definitely helps understand communication.
  • Presenting with Impact

    I enjoyed the program today and think it will really help me professionally going forward. I think the materials were helpful but the opportunity to actually practice made the most impact on my learning experience. Thank you!
  • Refining Your Public Speaking And Presentation Skills

    Great class. Very interactive and informative!!
  • This past week I attended a public speaking training held by Laura Lewis-Barr. What a wonderful course it was getting you out of your comfort zone and being confident with the presenter you truly are!
  • Hi Laura, Thank you so much for the donation to IFAW, that is so very generous of you and greatly appreciated! I had a great time last week, I will definitely go and leave a positive review and recommend this course to others. I will have to work up the courage to watch the videos (heh – I think that is harder than actually giving the presentation sometimes!) but I will do it, and I am going to try thinking about life as a series of stories and practice keeping my ‘inner voice’ in storytelling mode, maybe it will help identify stories to tell! Thanks again for everything! Best, Sheryl F.
  • Laura - thanks for spending 2 days with us, I got a lot out of it! Graham
  • Hi Laura, I have learned so much from you and I really appreciate all your advice! Seeing my video is definitely helpful. Although I still have a lot of weaknesses in public speaking, now I know where to start and what needs to be improved. Thanks for teaching me the wonderful tips. I will recommend this class to my peers.
  • Laura was amazing! Would recommend this to anyone who is involved in public speaking.
  • When you're intimidated by something like public speaking, it's so easy to feel alone--which just compounds the anxiety. But meeting you guys and being reminded that many of us are in the same boat--and more importantly--that it's something we are working to overcome was a big part of what I took away from this experience. Thanks for your bravery. I found you all inspiring. Thanks, Ron
  • Hi Laura, Thank you for a great class and for the follow up with the videos (and to check if they work).
  • Hope all is well. First, I would like to thank you for such a great class last Thursday and Friday. I really enjoyed my time and came away with some great skills and tips that I look forward to utilizing in the future.
  • Hello. Thank you so much for the excellent class! Your instruction has provided me with greater assurance going forward. I am in Chicago periodically and will reach out, please do likewise if you are in New York, Baltimore or Washington, DC.
  • It was great meeting you and I appreciate all of the assistance and guidance you provided to us. It was a great team and I will say I enjoyed learning with everyone. Thank you for your time and I will keep you in mind for future corporate events as I really feel the build - a - bike program would be a great benefit for my team. Thanks again! And it was a pleasure meeting everyone. Bill D.
  • Hi Laura, thank you for a great two-days- you are a great teacher! I fully enjoyed the learning and growth and feel like I made good friends. My best, Joe
  • Laura, You are an amazing instructor! Thanks for the wonderful class and your example of what it looks like to give a “fearless presentation.” I learned a lot and gained more confidence because of yours and the group's encouragement. I don’t have to be perfect and neither does my presentation! I hope to work with you in the future. I’ll definitely leave a review. Happy week! Kiko
  • Hi, Laura, I have learned so much from you and I really appreciate all your advice! Seeing my video is definitely helpful. Although I still have a lot of weaknesses in public speaking, now I know where to start and what needs to be improved. Thanks for teaching me the wonderful tips. I will recommend this class to my peers. Xia
  • Executive Presence

    This class allowed me to view my Presentation skills with a new viewpoint. I appreciated the open opinion and suggestions from not just the instructors but from my peers as we were all learning and improving together.
  • Refining Your Public Speaking And Presentation Skills

    Great class
  • Lena was amazing! She is very good at what she does. Her psychological aspect is what makes her unique. You can tell she is a deep thinker. I learned a lot from this course! Thank you Lena!
  • Midge was great! Very informative and engaging session.
  • Mastering Your Presentations

    I came into this afraid it was going to be just another presentation class with its general, unhelpful advice and guidelines. However, I found the content to be valuable, the exercises to be fruitful, and the time to be quite worthwhile. Thanks!

  • It was a really valuable experience. The instructor, Sam Valenti, is very professional and he knows perfectly how to help you loose the sense of fear when you have to speak in public; he gave me great formulas, should me the perfect steps to make and say a speech, gave me great ideas. I want to take all the courses related with this topic. Thanks to all the team. Claudia
  • Sam was great, really top-notch. Had a very good experience. Got a very good visceral explanation of the topic, would go to a follow up class if offered. Thanks.
  • Instructor was exceptional.
  • Very well organized material, shared by a wonderfully engaging teacher! Enjoyed it and learned a lot in 3 hours!
  • Communication Skills Boot Camp

    Lisa was a phenomenal instructor! She knew the material had a dynamic way to make the content relevant. She was lively, engaging and over a lot of fun! She made the class interesting with her knowledge and life's experience! I will definitely recommend her to friends and co-workers, she was pretty AWESOME!
