Fear-less Public Speaking

Fear-less Public Speaking is a specialist public speaking anxiety programme founded in 2018 by Catherine Syme, a Distinguished Toastmaster based in New Zealand. It offers small-group courses (maximum 8–10 participants) specifically designed for people with above-average fear of public speaking, helping them manage anxiety and build confidence through gradual, supportive practice. The programme now operates primarily online, with one-on-one executive coaching available worldwide, corporate training workshops in New Zealand, and online group courses open to anyone. Previously run in-person in central Auckland (Eden Terrace), the founder has since relocated to Wanaka and transitioned the group courses to an online format.
