Buckley Speaking

"I make presentations every week via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Skype. A few weeks ago, I was guest speaker at a roundtable. I received an email from someone in Hong Kong who's a senior board member of several Asian funds. He'd been on a conference call, and people were praising my presentation. How about that? Every time this happens, I say thank you to The Buckley School!"

"The Executive Seminar proved to be a defining experience personally and professionally. I approach speaking with a new sense of enthusiasm and confidence."

"After coming over to work on a keynote address for a bankers’ convention, I received the highest evaluation I’ve ever gotten as a speaker. My thoughts were the same, but The Buckley School helped me better organize and present them. The difference was amazing.”

"I put to good use the many skills learned at a speech before several hundred diplomats at the United Nations. While I had made many presentations since attending your school, the U.N. speech was the first large scale one. It made a huge difference."

"My experience at The Buckley School, in no short order, changed my life. It made me more confident, polished and secure."

“It was just what my staff needed—instruction and practice that made them more polished and built their confidence….one more reason to love The Buckley School!”

“I thought you’d like to know we won the contract. I also thought you should know we got a standing ovation from the review panel. They said it had never happened before.”

“It's the very best way to learn. The Buckley team mapped each individual curriculum to our strengths and weaknesses as speakers. I left with a new set of skills I was itching to put into practice.”

"I have attended a few courses over the last year or two, and nothing has come close to the personal attention and standard of coaching I received at your school."

“I spent a great deal of energy avoiding public speaking. It limited my career, my personal causes, and my potential. It was truly my ‘skeleton in the closet.’ You have released me from my shackles.”

"I gave my first campaign speech in Washington on Friday to a room of approximately 1,000 people. Following the speech, I had numerous people congratulate me on a ‘wonderful,’ ‘passionate,’ and ‘statesmanlike’ talk. … I could not have done it without your help!"

"I learned more in one day than in a semester in speech at college. As the Chinese say, when the student is ready, the teacher arrives."

"I’ve been writing speeches for more than 20 years and have attended a number of public speaking training sessions. But I’ve not experienced one the caliber of yours. You’ve helped give my speeches a whole new dimension."
