“Speak The Speech I Pray You As I Pronounced It To You, Trippingly Off The Tongue… Suit the Word To The Action… And Hold, As ‘Twere The Mirror Up To Nature.”

This speech from Shakespeare’s Hamlet was the inspiration for our company name when we launched in 1998.
We felt then and still do now that this quote perfectly encapsulates what we aim to empower our clients with: we want their words to flow “trippingly off the tongue”, with fluency and fluidity.

One day, having left their jobs at Lloyds of London and a travel company to train at the world-renowned London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Boo and Jon were reflecting on the challenges common to both worlds and came to the realisation that the business world had a lot to learn from the theatre and vice-versa.  Combining their skills and experience from both worlds created the perfect recipe for their first “Power of Speech” course.

25 years later, all the Speak The Speech courses and coaches still reflect the subtle combination of these two worlds. Our courses are high-energy and impactful whilst remaining true to the business world of today. This carefully balanced approach is what makes an immediate and noticeable difference.
