TESTIMONIALS
"I have always thought of myself as a good public speaker. Growing up, I took it both in school and in 4-H. Both were very beneficial, but I did not realize until I took Terri-Ann's program that it taught a very regimented way of speaking. It taught you to memorize a speech and present via cue cards looking above your audience and not speaking 'to' your audience. Being in Terri-Ann's program has not only made me a better public speaker by allowing myself to lean into uncomfortable situations and be more prepared for the topic at hand, but it has also made me become a better listener. Terri-Ann has taught me to look my audience in the eye, with confidence and be 'okay' with the uncomfortable topics and conversations. She has taught me that it is okay to have a pause without any words and not start every silence with "umm". Thank you Terri-Ann for being such a wonderful teacher. You made me feel very accomplished in both public speaking and in my life. I will miss our time together."

“Courage to Speak has been game changing, not just for my career but for developing stronger and more confident communication skills for all facets of life where its important to have those clear and maybe even uncomfortable conversations. Terri-Ann’s approach to build confidence in speaking, unlike many self help resources, is grounded and broken down into tangible steps and recommendations that can be implemented in every day interpersonal interactions. Not only does Terri-Ann provide lots of opportunity to practice skills in class, but she also encourages through her discussions and challenges to go above and beyond the course work to use these skills where it matters in real life. Courage to Speak has not only built me up as a speaker, but also as a person who shows up confident, kind and as my authentic self for the conversations and relationships that matter.”

Terri-Ann is an excellent speaker and every time she presents to Ignite program participants, it is always a life-changing experience. I get great feedback from attendees on how they enjoyed her presentation and how it helped build their confidence to communicate effectively with people.
Her training is extremely impactful as they empower and motivate others. She is so knowledgeable and provides the tools on how people can live up to that potential that is within them, achieve their goals, and achieve the purpose of life, all while feeling fulfilled, joyful, and happy. I love working with her because she knows how to push people out of their comfort zone and overcome things that lower/limit their self-esteem. Her energy is contagious and what really stood out to me was the way she commands the room when she speaks and her great sense of humor.
I highly recommend Terri-Ann Richards to any team/organization. If you're looking for an inspirational speaker for your next event, look no further! Terri-Ann will deliver an unforgettable and relatable experience. Motivating your audience to transform their perspectives on growth, resiliency, and success.
