Welcome to The Leadership Speaking School

We are industry leaders in the field of leadership communication.

And since 2010, we have taught thousands of leaders, teams and changemakers from the world’s most well known companies, organizations and business schools how speak with impact, authenticity and human connection in the digital age.

We teach the CRAFT of LEADERSHIP SPEAKING.

This proprietary method, developed by Founder Dr. Laura Penn, is where leadership communication and public speaking meet.

At it’s core, it teaches the craft of how to create compelling content and how to deliver it with impact.

In today’s busy communication landscape, it’s never been more important for leaders to master these essential skills, as across all sectors, they are being called on to communicate more frequently to an increasing number of audiences, on an increasing number of platforms.

Leadership Speaking supports them to build better relationships, better their bottom-lines and become better leaders through effective communication.

Our students forge better relationships, build trust and engagement with those around them and become better leaders.

The Leadership Speaking Toolbox makes us unique

This Toolbox is specially built for leaders and changemakers. It supports them to rapidly up-skill how they speak in front of all of their business communication audiences. From how to create compelling content through strategic storytelling, to how to switch on executive presence, to how to speak so that audiences want to listen, the Toolbox supports leaders and changemakers to show up as the best versions of themselves every time they communicate.

Embodiment is at the heart of how we teach

We activate our students’ full speaking instruments so that they can communicate with gravitas to any audience at any time. This helps them to learn by doing and we’ve discovered that they retain the teaching more powerfully. Our students leave our training feeling activated, motivated and empowered to use what they have learned straight away.
