Boston Public Speaking

Amanda Hennessey is a gifted coach. She works from a place of compassion and empathy and uses both to create a supportive and productive learning environment. She has an unparalleled ability to reframe a challenging situation to make it feel like an opportunity. Her insight is unique, her sense of humor is delightful, and her wisdom is invaluable. In short, her workshops are everything I anticipated and much more. I highly recommend Boston Public Speaking.

Our office had a great experience with BPS. It was different than what we've experienced before - more realistic and enjoyable. Everyone stepped out of their comfort zone, and Amanda made the session informative while also being funny. We would recommend this to any company or group looking for some tips on public speaking!

Always a fun time working with Amanda and the groups! Everyone is super supportive, kind and happy to be there in class. I learned so much on Saturday! Thank you!

I had a great experience. Amanda was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and gave me instruction that I’ve continued to mull over in my head and incorporate into my worklife. Definitely worth the time and money!

Wow! Public speaking and presenting are NOT my strongsuits, so when I was asked to do a presentation at work in front of the entire company, it's suffice to say I was freaking out! But after only 2 sessions with Amanda , I had the confidence to deliver my presentation in a clear, concise, and professional manner. Amanda, was never critical, but instead offered insight designed to improve not only my speech, but also the manner in which I delivered it. I go forward now with the utmost confidence in my abilities and Amanda helped me to see my presentation skills, I once considered a weakness, to now be a strength! Thank you Amanda!

Really enjoyed the workshop, highly recommend for professionals looking to gain an edge in effective communication.

My husband and I had an incredible experience with Boston Public Speaking. We worked with Amanda Hennessey who was an absolute delight. Amanda was somehow able to help us take our feelings, memories, and milestones and transform them into our wedding vows. Amanda has the ability to take a hint of an idea and craft it into exactly what you wanted to say, before you knew you could say it. Our vows came out beautifully, all thanks to Amanda. Highly recommend Boston Public Speaking and Amanda!

Amanda is awesome! I was lucky enough to spend 3 sessions with her. Public speaking is what brought me through the door, but we delved into many areas such as how to posture yourself standing in front of a crowd, addressing a room of executives and being heard as well as not being embarrassed of having a big title. She reminded me that even though I am new to my director role, I have been prepared for this for awhile. She boosts your confidence and reminds you of your worth in business and in life. Would, and have, recommended Boston Public Speaking to others!

I really enjoyed the workshop, Amanda is amazing , she covers an incredible amount of ground in a short period of time & it's fun too. If you want to start conquering your fears take the class . I would highly recommend her & her teachings . I'm grateful I attended it has really helped me.

Thank you Amanda, for your tips and insights about public speaking. I took the tools I learned with me to my next presentation and have to say I felt more confident and less nervous. Thank you!

Amanda is a gifted facilitator who really helped our group to open up. As a mostly female group with many shy or quieter members, Amanda helped us to consider how our own body language was affecting our mood and performance. I really liked her approach, which focused not on being totally calm before public speaking (which is probably impossible!) but on how to re-channel the energy that comes with public speaking and use it to more effectively communicate. She helped us touch in with what really matters to us. I would strongly recommend Amanda to anyone interested in helping a group to become more comfortable with public speaking!
