Vanessa at Watch Out World was fantastic. A really great help. I know what I need to do!

The group and day was excellent. I don't think that Vanessa could have done any better as the session flowed.

Although I have been on presentation courses before what you did was very different. The biggest benefit to me was peeling away and rationalising the fear that we all have of putting ourselves forward to do daunting presentations. I think it was a great self development exercise as well as a training course. I surprised myself at the end being able to ad lib the presentation without ?death by powerpoint.

Susan Reeves (BA (Hons) Divisional Director)
Alan & Thomas Insurance Brokers

I have had some quality time to reflect on the training day we had today, and I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the effort you put in to make it a safe, fun and healthy environment for us all to learn in.

Claire Butcher (Managing Director)
Clarify IT Limited

It was incredibly useful to be able to receive feedback in such a positive, constructive manner.

A fantastic experience to realise the training errors I was making and how to overcome them.

Working with you was definitely the most useful experience of my teaching and training career.

Claire Jarrett (Managing Director)

The ability for our Franchisees to be effective networkers is a foundation to the long term development of their companies.

Having recently attended WOW?s Art of Networking Skills, I was so impressed with Vanessa Ugatti?s succinct half day course that the Focus on You franchise package now includes the (optional) attendance of this course.

Peter Bartholomew (CEO)
Focus on You

I attended WOW's Public Speaking Seminar and found it very useful as it reminded me of techniques I'd forgotten and gave me greater confidence in public speaking.

I would recommend this course to any business people or those who just want to improve their confidence outside of work.

Karen Olsen (MD)
Mobile Media

Having had a serious fear of public speaking for as long as I could remember I was very sceptical when Vanessa approached me and offered her help. Her professionalism, understanding and caring nature were second to none. Vanessa understood how I felt and gave me examples of similar situations she has experienced. She gave me constructive feedback and encouraged me to challenge myself. I have now successfully stood up and talked to a room of over 100 people and felt confident, exhilarated and keen to do more. Those feelings I owe to Vanessa. Without her help and generous nature, I would still be cowering in a corner full of excuses. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who feels they ?can?t do it?.

Angela Fletcher (Director)
Rock Recruitment

I am a great fan of Vanessa's - having attended one of her public speaking seminars and found it hugely beneficial, I then asked Vanessa to work with my telesales staff to improve the way they come across to potential customers - the result was better than I could have hoped for - in fact, one of my staff was nearly poached by a customer!

Barbara Cox (Director)
Nutrichef

Speaking in public sounds very grand, but actually attending one of Vanessa's courses is more about bringing out the confidence you already have in yourself so that others can see it and respond positively.

Alison Curtis (Centre Manager)
LV Streetwise

Vanessa ran a fantastic interactive session called 'The Public Speaking Masterclass' for over 90 students at Southampton University's Entrepreneurs Society, Fish on Toast.

I would be delighted to recommend her in the future, not only as a great coach, but also as a kind and genuine person.

James Pipe (President - Fish on Toast, University of Southampton Entrepreneurs)

When I first met Vanessa I was really nervous, not just about my presentation, but of even standing up in front of ONE person to present! I had absolutely no idea what to expect- would Vanessa ask me to do a dummy run... and then pull me to pieces?

Far from it... Vanessa immediately put me at my ease; we chatted about the areas I was most concerned about regarding presenting in front of a rather large crowd of people, and Vanessa gave me an amazing amount of encouragement and advice (such as pacing myself and breathing correctly) as well as practical tips on how to beat the dreaded nerves... I went on to present at the E-Den final at Bournemouth University on September 18th... and won!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Vanessa to anyone who feels they could do with that extra boost in self-esteem, before an important event!

I can't tell you how motivated I was after your session at the Business Link event in Weymouth last week. You really are very impressive -a great motivator as well. You have a great presence 'on stage' that you can use to great effect when you want to. You are very approachable, while clearly being confident - an unusual combination.

MSI-Defence Systems Ltd
Justin Waller (BSc MBA CEng MIEE)

Public Speaking is an art unto itself and Vanessa was able to bring out the best in those who attended her course with her gentle, honest and charismatic approach.

Magpie Wills & Estate Planning
Sarah Haywood (Llb Hons) (Wills Consultant)

I wanted to let you know that the presentation went very well - no fear factor at all. Your techniques worked. Thank you. What is even better is that I've just found out that we have won the job that we were trying to secure. Thanks again for all of your help.

Lesley Fox

When I stood up in front of 70 people to present my company at The Carrington Club, I felt prepared and empowered! I never thought that I would ever feel this way about presenting and this was after just one session with Vanessa!

Her course on public speaking is an instant fix to presenting in a confident, clear and dynamic manner. The course is both practical and theory-based, giving you the tools and the attitude to leap at any opportunity to present! I would thoroughly recommend her course to any business person whose career or opportunities are hampered by the fear of speaking in public.

Lisa Worthington (Sales Manager)

Having attended one of Vanessa Ugatti's seminars, I can now confidently deliver a presentation to an audience instead of panicking at the thought!I would thoroughly recommend Watch Out World to anyone in business who wants to make an impact and get ahead in a competitive world.

George Little (Proprietor)

My palpable fear of presenting has been significantly reduced.Vanessa taught me how to feel the experience rather than learn the content "parrot fashion".

Together we drilled the content down to a simple, palatable offering which was well received and I really enjoyed the day. I am looking forward to doing the next one.

Sue Landon (Proprietor)
PR Garage

Vanessa Ugatti's down to earth approach to training people in public speaking skills really works. She also has the ability to create a warm, supportive atmosphere which makes learning so much easier and fun. I now feel better equipped to go out and speak at seminars on behalf of Paris, Smith and Randall LLP, knowing that I can do a good job.


Paris, Smith & Randall LLP
Clive Dobbin (Partner)

Like many people, I have feared presenting to the public for a number of reasons. I attended one of Vanessa Ugatti's seminars and found the whole day most enjoyable.

More importantly, I gained valuable insight on how to approach the art of speaking. Through various exercises throughout the day, my confidence grew and I can genuinely say that my fears have been obliterated.

Vanessa has this amazing charisma which tends to bring the best out of people and is a born natural in her field.

Dave Black (IFA)
Positive Solutions

I needed to improve on my skills for a very important presentation.The boost in confidence I gained with Vanessa's help made all the difference - the presentation went so well that I am now in negotiation with a company for substantial investment.Great value, great day, great coaching.

John Mortby (Sales Director)

I thought you should know that I recently had to call on the valuable instruction received at the training day I attended with you some many months ago now.

Last week I was called upon to speak at a Funeral service on behalf of the bereaved son?s, whose Father had died suddenly at only 58. Neither of the boys felt able to speak in front of a congregation of 130 people. So they asked if I could carry out the task. I have to say that it was a very emotional time and I didn?t relish the idea of imparting the thoughts of the boys on such an occasion in front of so many people, most of whom I had never met before.

Recalling much of the valuable advice you imparted on the training day, I am pleased to say that I was able to effectively deliver their words without any trouble at all.

John Mortby (Owner)

Vanessa, thanks very much for yesterday, I did get much from it. I will be happy to recommend to fellow professionals as and when the opportunity arises.

If you want to make the difference, you couldn't do better than spend time with Vanessa.

Andrew Snell (Director)

I attended a WOW course a week ago with two of my colleagues here from Rawlins Davy Plc. We all found the course enormously helpful, particularly my rather younger and less experienced colleagues who now feel much more enthusiastic and confident about going out and undertaking some public speaking. For those solicitors who do not appear at all regularly in court, I thoroughly recommend this course.

Rawlins Davy Plc.
John Kennar (Managing Partner)

Vanessa provides exactly the right environment to encourage you to have the confidence to speak in front of people. I found the course both engaging and challenging, and I learned a lot from the constructive feedback that I received. I?d recommend the course to anyone who wants to conquer their fear of public speaking, and it is now on our training program for the practice!

Rotham Pantall & Co
Mark Milner FCCA (Practice Manager)

The course content was very easy to take onboard and I enjoyed learning with (and from) the other attendees as we embarked on the various tasks. As we laughed with each other and put into practice what we were learning, quite a few pieces started to click into place that I shall always remember

Salad Creative Ltd
Ian Elliot (MD)

Firstly please let me thank you for a very enjoyable course, it was fun. Before attending, I was terrified about speaking in public and to be honest was not looking forward to the course. You carefully explained how to cope with my fears, showed me how to plan a speech and even stand correctly whilst presenting.

This has now given me the confidence and the tools I require to make a successful presentation. Since the course, I have made two public speeches and although I still feel a little nervous, I'm not daunted by the prospect of standing up and promoting my business. Once again, thank you for a very enjoyable day and your ongoing support.

Save Energy UK Ltd
Paul Randall (Director)

I found Vanessa to be very professional, empathic, easy to talk to, attentive and a good listener. She was also able to bring the best out of me quickly and easily. In fact, she exorcised a ghost regarding the fear of public speaking which I had lived with for more than twenty years.

Scanmoor
Tom Scanlon (Commercial Director)

Sharon and I wrote our presentation yesterday, and, following your training, reduced war and peace to an eight slide hard-hitting presentation. The result was dynamite - Vanessa, you would have been be proud of us - thanks to Watch Out World for a great training course.

Helen Stacey (Director)
Smart Recruitment

Despite years of presenting to hundreds of people, I suddenly found myself having stage fright, every time I was asked to stand up and talk about my business. If you have ever stood in front of an audience and felt your heart pounding and your face turning beetroot red, then I know you will sympathise.

Luckily for me, I met Vanessa Ugatti of WOW, at a networking event, and was sufficiently impressed to attend one of her public speaking courses.

Vanessa's course not only taught me the correct structure for a presentation but showed me different ways to get my audience to appreciate and understand my message. I received some invaluable feedback on posture and breathing and at the end of the day, I felt really great!

Thanks to Vanessa, I certainly feel much more confident and would highly recommend her to anyone, regardless of their level of public speaking.

Rebecca Walker-Jones (Senior Broker)
Sunbelt Business Brokers

Thanks for a really great day yesterday! It was fun and I got a lot of value from it. Have just reported back to Richard my boss and he said it sounded like a worthwhile distraction from my daily duties in the office!

Was very sad to hear about your recentbereavements - andquite surprised as well.

For someone who has been through all that, you were extremely "together" and didn't seem preoccupied in any way. That's the sign ofa true professional.

I really admire you for everything that you do and have done throughout your interesting life so far. AndI thinkyou are probably the strongest lady I have ever met - apart from my mum!

I shall be thanking Dave Black for recommending you so highly and in turn will pass on my recommendations to others.

Victoria Shelley (Office Manager)
TWL Inbound Ltd

Having recently attended one of your one-day training sessions on public speaking skills, I felt very confident in approaching you to further hone my skills for a presentation which I was asked to give at The British Association of Removers National Conference in London.

The two one-hour one-to-one sessions gave me the confidence to get up on stage and deliver a presentation to about 150 delegates - something which had previously been outside my comfort zone.

Although I still feel the need for further improvement, the feedback I received has given me further confidence to get up and do the same thing again. One delegate did say to me afterwards "who have you been working with on your presentation skills? - that was one of the best we heard this morning." This is a great testimony to the work that you are doing Vanessa at Watch Out World and I would like to thank you very much for your time.

Brian Maidman (Managing Director)
The British Association of Removers (Speech)

Over my working life, I have participated in many management development programmes. They all included public speaking sessions and Watch Out World's was the best, by far, that I have been on.

Alasdair Bavister (Financier and Foreign Exchange)The Red Partnership

I found the workshop extremely beneficial. Previously, I was hesitant at public speaking but after working with Vanessa, she has given me an inner confidence which I'm now putting to good practice.

The Tank Museum
Paul Dolan (Accountant)

I had met Vanessa several times before I had the courage to book a place on one of her courses. I need not have worried, as Vanessa has the ability to give you confidence in no time at all. At lunch, the difference in the group?s attitude was very noticeable.

We learnt the importance of planning and constructing the speech as well as tips on delivering it powerfully.
She is not only inspiring but she very obviously cares for each individual person on her course. Vanessa seems to be able to single you out, whilst involving the other candidates, so you all feel like part of a team and therefore support and care for each other. For me, a very good investment!

I am now happy and confident to speak up at meetings.

Robbie Dunster (Owner)
Unicorn Courtesy Cars Ltd

I am writing to say how grateful I am for the work you did with me on our training session on Tuesday.
For my talk on Wednesday, I used your deep breathing and visualisation techniques to great effect which helped me stay calm and focussed. Visualising the audience happy and applauding helped me feel that there would be a good outcome to the event, which allowed me to relax and even eat a reasonable lunch before the talk!

I used the techniques you described from the breakfast meeting to increase my energy and I think it made me much more animated and able to act out parts of the talk which must have made it more interesting to the audience.

Also, the inclusion of the audience by asking them to imagine being in a certain situation, worked really well.

Denise Oatham (Associate)
Warner Goodman LLP

Vanessa's remit was to evaluate my performance as a speaker the day prior to my giving an important presentation to an audience of over 300 suppliers and customers.

John Coombes (Finance Director)
Alliance Automotive UK Ltd

I can personally vouch that the basic one day course instils an amazing confidence and develops the ability to create a structured presentation.

David Brown (Director)
Business & Commercial Finance

In terms of ROI on our investment you delivered 'gold'.

I was able to confidently deliver a fifteen minute presentation to a 200 strong audience whilst standing on a stage - and enjoyed it.

Emma Eveleigh (Joint Managing Director)
Blaxx Ltd

Your talk was inspirational, Vanessa -as a result this morning, I went into work with a really positive attitude and the mood of the whole team seemed to change - that day, we won a huge order - perhaps it was just a lucky coincidence, but I think not.

Peter Hastrop (The Chairman)
Business Evolution Group plc

A hugely informative and challenging day which has given me more confidence to trust in my ability to present.

Martin Cavey (Chartered Accountant)

Public speaking used to be something I would avoid at any cost. I remember standing there hoping the ground would open up beneath me.

A year or so ago I attended a WOW course on public speaking and haven't looked back since.


James Hiley-Jones (General Manager)
Careys Manor Hotel (Brockenhurst)

For improving your general confidence in speech delivery, I have no hesitation in recommending WOW (i.e. the lovely Vanessa Ugatti).

Barry Mitchell (Speechmaker)

I found Vanessa?s help invaluable, and, in just two short sessions, I was able to learn to accept it will be scary, but not let this affect me.

Stuart Rawlinson

Vanessa's Seminars are an absolute MUST for anyone who is regularly speaking in the public domain!

I now realise that there is so much more to the delivery of a message. I found the day not only great fun, but constructive, fascinating and a real confidence booster.

Ianthe Slinger (Solicitor/Partner and Head of Family and Matrimonial)
Frettens LLP

Vanessa?s courses are extremely useful and very informative. She has a simple way to teach but it is highly efficient and on top of it, it is great fun. So please; more of it or as we say in French; Encore!
