Public Speaking.
Good Shout is our flagship course that helps everyone find their voice, regardless of age, gender, background or specific challenges.
Public speaking is daunting for most people, but we make it accessible, help you find your style, and really hone your message so that you can make an impact anywhere.
Great public speaking is a science:
the psychology of your voice, the physiology of your body language and the persuasion of your message. At Good Shout, we cover all of that.
Our courses are focused on practice and feedback.
Sessions are littered with surprise but the space is safe, and our trainees have told us that it’s a truly transformative experience. Good Shout is CPD accredited, demonstrating our commitment to significant professional development and accessibility.

Previous Good Shout Learners
“Good Shout has given me a safe space to explore what it would be like to punch my inner critic in the face. As a certified yapper, I’m overjoyed to say I’ve never enjoyed a course so much - every week I find new ways to be outrageous.”
Laara Melan, Creative Marketing Executive and participant in our 8-week Good Shout Momentum course.
“I suffered severe burnout two years ago leading to a mental health crisis and total loss of confidence. I was afraid to give opinions, afraid to speak up, to be seen or heard. I was ashamed, and like thousands, had the fear of speaking up about my experience.
Good Shout gave me the courage to share my story on LinkedIn: an honest post that resonated with thousands. People could see reflections in their own experiences and no longer felt alone. And now my voice is back, better, and stronger.”
Annabelle Black, Freelance Advertising Director, who just completed our Powerhouse course.

Do you do coaching?
People often ask us if we do coaching, and our answer is: rarely. For this kind of thing, it’s so important to have an audience. However, we’re occasionally willing to make exceptions. If you’re extremely time poor, ridiculously senior, have significant challenges or something very specific to practice for, give Amy a shout on amy@goodshoutcommunity.com.
