About Us
Hi, my name is Dylan. For the longest time I’d just accepted that I would never be able to speak well in public, but it really hit me when I saw the same fears in my son holding him back. That was the turning point for me. I began practicing and learning through Toastmasters, and graduating up through various speaking events. Over time I learned how to manage my confidence, what makes a good speech, and a good speaker, even ended up winning the Toastmasters D70 International Speaking Competition.
I started lessons to help my son and his friends as well as running workshops for businesses and at schools, and it’s just grown and grown from there. In that time, we’ve seen kids become competition winners, school captains and being selected for the debating teams. I’m really priveledged to have found this passion as it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.
Our why
Using your voice to influence what is happening around you should not be a priveledge. It’s a fundamental human right, and everybody should be given the skills to exercise that right. If you cannot speak up because you’re scared, or because you’re ineffective as a speaker…
You are powerless. And noone should grow up feeling powerless.
“Kids come in to learn how to speak. What they love is that here… we really listen.”
— Dylan, Founder of Quiet Confidence Speaking School
