Testimonies from Past Participants

I have always had a fear of public speaking - from feeling nervous to worrying that I do not have anything to say, to how to connect with my audience. However, Mr. Ting Chee Kheong gave me great tips on how to conquer my fears, how to craft my speech and how to connect with my audience. And I even managed to go up and give a short impromptu speech in the Toastmaster meeting session in front of 20 plus people! I never thought that I could do it but I did! It was quite an experience for me!

The course had answered most of my questions on public speaking techniques and along the way also debunked some myths I had. I most appreciate the hands-on experience on speech writing and video-recorded speeches. The opportunity to attend a Toastmasters meeting and deliver an impromptu table topic to a room full of strangers was a memorable experience as well. Thank you Chee Kheong!

Before knowing Lion City Toastmasters Club's Public Speaking Course (PSC), I was always haunted by the thoughts of having to give speeches in front of public - I had all the symptoms of stage-frights, such as my mind suddenly going blank, accelerating heart beats, and loss of words.

However, my fears and nightmares were all gone after I join the PSC.
The course teaches us useful public speaking tips and most importantly, provides us with a platform to practice public speaking in front of a crowd.
The club is made up of people who aspire to become better public speakers, so you don't need to feel embarrassed when making mistakes, because everyone is also learning to be better!

After giving 6 speeches in the club, I find myself feeling more confident when giving my speeches.

Thank you Lion City Toastmasters Club and especially to the trainer cum President, Mr. Ting Chee Kheong!

I am not a native English speaker and had a fear to speak in public. Mr. Ting Chee Kheong boosted my confidence and helped me to overcome of this fear. Now, I am using techniques taught by him and improving my public speaking skills. I recommend this course to all who wish to improve their public speaking skills.

I always thought that one just need to overcome his fear in order to give a good speech in public but I found out that it is not entirely true. Giving speeches in public is much more than overcoming one's inner fear, it is about being prepared, understanding your audience, removing "bad habits", speaking clearly, etc.. In fact public speaking is both an art and science, whereby one needs to constant practise and hone his skills.

I am grateful to have taken my first baby steps on this journey to improve myself.
