WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

OUR SPEAKERS INSTITUTE GRADUATES

"When I decided that I never wanted to work for anyone else ever again, I knew I needed guidance so I could achieve my dreams. Having coaches, inspiring people, and mentors around to believe in me in ways I didn’t quite believe in myself was a brand new thing. It was kind of scary, but I took the leap and went through a fast-track transformation.After that, I felt like there weren’t any obstacles in my path. I've started speaking, I've launched my professional speaking website. I've got an amazing new network of allies… my new career is just taking off at the moment. And yeah, it's an amazing, exciting time."
AZRIEL FERRO
PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER, DIRECTOR OF I CHANGED MY MIND
"The day I left school I could not read, spell, or write. All I knew was the burning desire to create success. After 18 years of hard work, I managed to own two stores making over $8 million in revenue per annum - and I wanted to share my story with more people. But to do that, I knew I had to find the right person to help me achieve this mission. Sam showed me the power of stories, the ability to be more vulnerable and most of all, how to systemise 20 years of leadership, business and success knowledge. If you have a story, message or knowledge that you want to share and add value to people, Sam is your man."


BERNARD KELLY
BUSINESS OWNER
"As an entrepreneur, I'd never really talked about my story or my journey, or had to present something personal about myself in those presentations. So as a result of being at Speakers Institute, I ended up founding my own brand, Brad Twynham consulting, I've never even considered doing that before.I'm now able to customize a short keynote on the fly and I get invited as a VIP to a lot of launch and incubator events. Quite often I'm also asked to give last-minute presentations. I can confidently and competently do that now just by implementing Speakers Institute's ACF framework."

"I would have probably shared my story one on one with a few people, it may have come up in conversation, but I never would have thought to claim the stage to go out there in a practical way. Because not everyone with mental health issues has the courage to share their story or to you know, to build that appreciation for other people.I found that courage with Speakers Institute. The power of sharing a story and the ripple effect that that has has been huge. I know that I'm definitely better positioned to be a catalyst for positive change than I would have been previously."
  DIANNE MCCABE  
DIRECTOR, THE HAPPY PATH
"I ran really big sales companies so I was very good at influencing people one-on-one and showing them what to do. But I have always wanted to be able to influence people on a wider scale.With the strategies and tools Speakers Institute taught me, I was able to build my confidence to get on stage and provide value for consumers. It has been a massive shift in the way I now do business and influence people."
ANDY OTTO
TRAINER, COACH, LEADER
"After I sold my podiatric business for 35 years and eight months, I literally stepped into the unknown. It was beautiful and extraordinary, but it was also absolutely terrifying. Speakers Institute and Sam helped me find my path. It is a place I can actually rest, knowing that there’s a definite path to move forward. I can't recommend Speakers Institute highly enough, it transformed my life and it's transforming everyone around there as well."

"I wasted a lot of time trying to do things on my own. Sam and the team really helped me refine my message and shape it in a way that has led to a lot more clarity and confidence in telling my story. I've made a lot of progress over the last six months. And I'm doing things now that you know, decades ago, I just wouldn't have even contemplated doing."
LAWRENCE MITCHELL

"I developed from being an athlete - I played football, I did armwrestling, I did cage fighting. I never even thought of speaking as a profession before I encountered Speakers Institute. The training has been phenomenal. It’s about growth and tough pressure. You’re surrounded with like-minded people, and the proximity... the whole team is just, you know, they're above and beyond. I just love being there. Every second of it."
DAVID LINDSAY
"I have five children and a very senior position at work. It was intense and I was enjoying the stimulus of what I was doing, but I was finding it more and more rewarding to help people find their success. I thought I was a good presenter since it was such a big part of my work, but when I saw Sam in action, I realized that there was another level. I eventually made it to the TEDx stage three months later… something I thought would take me years to achieve."

9 POWER-PACKED INTENSIVES — ONE DAY. BIG SHIFT.
Each One Day Intensive is led by our Certified Senior Facilitators and delivered LIVE in an interactive Zoom session. This isn’t passive learning—you’ll receive real-time feedback, personalized coaching, and the chance to sharpen your communication skills in ways you never imagined.

By the end of the workshop, you won’t just learn—you’ll transform. Every participant walks away with stronger confidence, clearer communication, and the tools to influence any audience.

And the best part? You choose how you join—attend from the comfort of your home online, or connect face-to-face for an in-person experience. Either way, you’ll be guided by experts dedicated to unlocking your potential.

  • Professionally I learned a lot about the professional speaking industry and what was involved, like the actual mechanics on how to put together a keynote and breaking into the industry. On the personal level I found what I had inside myself; the message and the clarity I needed in order to deliver that message. Really opened my eyes to what I could achieve. Looking forward to a bright future as a professional speaker.
