ABOUT US
A MISSION TO PROVIDE HIGH IMPACT
PUBLIC SPEAKING COURSES.
Project Charisma is a communication skills training company based in Manchester, UK. We have a passion and reputation for helping people overcome their fears, develop outstanding public speaking skills, and begin succeeding in both their personal and professional lives.
Since 2014 we’ve been delivering public speaking courses to the public and within organisations. Our training has helped thousands of people to become more confident, competent speakers. Our students frequently go on to progress in their career, start their own businesses or even become known in their own right as professional speakers and thought-leaders. We’re proud to have coached TEDx speakers, business leaders and top academics to speak with influence & charisma.
Project Charisma is headed by three coaches (Danny Riley, Chris Delaney & Ed Darling) we’re professional speakers and trainers, as well as each working in our own unique fields. Read on to find out more about our coaches, and how we combined our expertise to develop high-impact public speaking courses that are helping people to transform their confidence and unleash their charisma.
A NEW APPROACH TO PUBLIC SPEAKING.
Back in 2014, we realised the “old style” of public speaking training was taking people weeks, if not months, to start seeing real improvement.
We thought there must be a better way, and came together to develop a new style of training – one which accelarated the learning process and gave people results in hours, not weeks or months.
The success of our new approach comes down to two key things, our emphasis on practical learning to build confidence through competence, and our fusion of three powerful disciplines: acting, speaking & therapeutic techniques.
Our mission now is to deliver the most advanced, effective and enjoyable public speaking courses available anywhere in the world, transforming how people think and feel about public speaking.
