Speech New Zealand is a charity on a mission to build confident communicators through excellent, equitable and empowering oral communication training.
We design responsive and agile syllabi, resources, training and qualifications for teachers, students, schools, professionals, workplaces and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Seventy-five percent of people have a fear of public speaking. Our training develops techniques and tools to overcome this fear, improving a person’s social interactions, employment opportunities and confidence to advocate for themselves and their communities.
With over 60 years of experience and expertise, we understand the value in finding one's voice and helping our nation to communicate.
