Each part of the course focuses on a specific aspect of communication, with practical examples showing you how and when to use it.
Put It Into Practice
You'll take part in exercises, activities and speaking opportunities designed to help you apply what you've just learned.
Get Personalised Feedback
Iwan watches you speak, then tells you what's working, what's getting in your way and what to try next. The feedback comes from him directly, drawing on more than ten years of training speakers.
Try Again
Take the feedback into your next exercise, your next presentation or the next real situation you encounter at work.

Iwan’s class was highly engaging. He gave us plenty of practices which helped boost my confidence by a ton! Not only that but he made jokes and gave stories which helped made the class more engaging. Fun and learnt so much and I recommend anyone to join this class
I attended Iwan’s public speaking workshop ("Presentation Skills & Public Speaking") six months ago, and the impact is still very real today. The techniques he taught remain relevant with constant practice, and they have elevated not only how I present but also how I perform in my job. The beauty of Iwan’s sessions is that they are encouraging and non‑judgmental. You are given a safe space to practice, to push past discomfort, and to discover your potential as a speaker. The lessons stay with you as long as you are willing to speak up and embrace that discomfort; something you will get plenty of opportunity to do in his classes. I wholeheartedly recommend signing up with Iwan if you want to grow and develop in public speaking. His guidance is powerful, but the real transformation comes when you put his teachings into practice. Six months on, I can vouch for the lasting value of this workshop.
I enjoy the sessions conducted by Iwan. He is a very encouraging mentor, he creates interesting environments and opportunities to students to learn and practice. After attend the course, I have better understanding how to communicate effectively, make the conversation more structure and clarity.
I attended Iwan’s Presentation Skills & Public Speaking course to sharpen my skills and came away with lots of practical and useful tips. What I liked was that it wasn’t just about delivery. We also learnt how to structure what we wanted to say and what to show on screen.I also didn’t expect to leave feeling so inspired. Iwan shared many thoughtful ideas and anecdotes throughout the course, which gave me a lot to think about and reflect on. We covered a lot over the two days, but Iwan managed to keep the whole experience lighthearted and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend giving the course a go, whether for personal or professional development. Thanks, Iwan!
I signed up for this course with a lot of self-doubt and honestly, a stomach full of nerves. Public speaking was something I had always shied away from, and I never imagined I would one day stand in front of a room and share something so personal.Iwan is an exceptional trainer. He has a rare ability to make you feel safe enough to be vulnerable, while also pushing you to grow beyond what you thought you were capable of. His feedback is honest, constructive, and always delivered with encouragement. I never once felt judged, only supported.Over the course of just two days, I went from someone who dreaded the sound of her own voice in a room full of people, to someone who delivered not one but four presentations!If you are on the fence about attending, this is your sign. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone looking to sharpen your skills, Speak Sell Succeed will meet you exactly where you are. Iwan will make sure of that.Best investment I have made in myself this year. I am going to live my best life and this course is part of that journey.

I had a great experience attending this workshop. The sessions were well-structured, practical, and very supportive. Iwan is an encouraging and thoughtful trainer who genuinely cares about each participant’s growth. I felt more confident and comfortable practicing communication and speaking in front of others. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their communication skills.
I appreciate the practical exercise and practice of a change to make to our body language during presentation. The framework and tools are also helpful and Iwan is an engaging trainer, able to make the concepts very relatable.
I have always been a shy and quite person and the idea of speaking in front of people was something terrifying. But through this course, Iwan transforms myself and everyone of us in the class. He shows us that public speaking and communication are a skill. A skill that we can learn, practice, and master eventually. Thank you Iwan.
I attended Iwan’s 4-week presentation course (one session per week) and gained valuable techniques to strengthen my communication skills. His class is far from the typical “sit-and-listen” format — Iwan teaches practical frameworks and techniques through an engaging, hands-on approach. Each session involves active participation, where attendees present and immediately apply what they’ve learned. I learned a lot about effective delivery frameworks, body language, and storytelling — all of which have helped me communicate with more clarity and confidence. What I appreciated most was the actionable feedback he provided after every presentation. One session that stood out was when we practised presenting our actual corporate topics — Iwan offered sharp, tailored advice on how I could convey a technical initiative more clearly to a non-technical audience. Every lesson was interactive, insightful, and enjoyable. I highly recommend his course to anyone looking to elevate their presentation and communication skills.
Attended the 2 days workshop by Iwan.The tricks and tips I have learned during the workshop will definitely help in the future. Will strongly recommend to people for the workshops.
I found this 2-day training while searching for presentation skills courses on SkillsFuture. After comparing a few options, I chose this one even though it was more expensive—and I’m glad I did. The classes were informative, interesting, and inspiring. Trainer Iwan is engaging and made the intensive sessions fun and enjoyable. There was a good balance of individual practice and group activities, and the content was packed with practical tips, making it excellent value for money. I strongly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their presentation and speaking skills. It not only helps you gain self-awareness of key areas for improvement but also gives you the tools to work on them. Of course, the most important part is to keep practicing regularly!
very interactive and engaging sessions. learned some awesome tips on public speaking and self awareness.

Attended Public Speaking Sessions with Iwan. This course helped me realize the importance of how we speak, not just what we say. I gained a deeper understanding of the impact of tone, pace, and body language. Often, these elements communicate more powerfully than the actual words.
I recently attended a 2-day Public Speaking & Presentation Skills workshop led by Iwan Yang, and it was truly eye-opening. Iwan doesn’t just teach techniques—he focuses on the psychology behind effective communication. His personalized feedback helped me target specific areas for improvement, and his real-world experience as an entrepreneur and speaker added tremendous value. What stood out most was his passion for empowering others. He created a safe, supportive space that encouraged everyone to step out of their comfort zones. His insights into storytelling, body language, and audience connection were practical and powerful. I highly recommend Iwan’s workshops to anyone looking to elevate their communication skills, whether for personal or professional growth.
Attended the course - Presentation Skills & Public Speaking led by Iwan, and it was truly beneficial. The insights shared were incredibly relevant and applicable to everyday communication.

Iwan is clearly passionate about the subject and genuinely committed to imparting his knowledge and craft to learners. I've learnt so much from him and the course has equipped me with techniques to enhance my presentation. Highly recommend this course and especially Iwan to anyone looking to sharpen your public speaking abilities and personal development.

Message us on WhatsAppAbout the course
Yes. You don’t need to be a confident speaker before joining.
Some participants come because they feel nervous presenting or tend to lose their train of thought when all eyes are on them. Others are already comfortable speaking but want to become more polished and engaging.
You improve from wherever you start. Nobody expects everyone to speak at the same level.
Yes. This isn’t only a beginner’s public speaking course.
Being a good presenter and being the best presenter you can be aren’t the same. Confident speakers often carry habits no one has pointed out, simply because their presentations already go well enough.
Iwan gives feedback based on how you communicate. So rather than going over the basics, you work on what takes you from good to memorable: tighter structure, more persuasive stories, stronger presence and handling tough questions.
As the saying goes, the teacher appears when the student is ready. If you’re open to getting better, there’s always another level.
No. The course is for working professionals at any level who need to share ideas, update stakeholders or speak up in meetings.
Communication matters in every role. A 2025 SkillsFuture analysis found effective client communication is a top skill for roles as different as company directors, social service managers, securities and finance brokers, and IT infrastructure technicians.
Whatever your role, Iwan gives feedback based on how you communicate, so you work on what matters in your job.
Read the SkillsFuture analysisYes. A job interview is a high-stakes conversation where you have to think on your feet. That’s a skill this course trains.
You practise organising your thoughts and answering unexpected questions clearly, without rambling. You also work on your voice, eye contact and body language, which shape the impression you make before you finish your answer.
The course isn’t built around interview questions, though. If you have a specific interview coming up and want to rehearse your actual answers, one to one coaching with Iwan is the more direct route.
See one to one coachingYou’ll have opportunities to speak and practise throughout the course, because that’s where much of the learning happens.
However, you won’t be forced to stand up and present before you’re ready. You can participate at your own pace, and Iwan keeps the room supportive so you can get comfortable speaking in front of others step by step.
We do encourage you to take the opportunities to practise when you can. The more you put into the course, the more you’re likely to take away from it.
Yes. Personal feedback is a big part of the course.
When you practise speaking and presenting, Iwan will help you identify what is already working and what you can improve, from the way you structure your ideas to your delivery, voice, body language and audience engagement.
Classes have 6 to 18 participants so there are opportunities to practise, observe others and receive feedback throughout the course.
That’s fine. The course is conducted in English, but you don’t need perfect English to participate.
The focus is on helping you organise your thoughts, communicate clearly and deliver your message effectively, rather than correcting your grammar or accent.
As long as you’re comfortable learning and participating in English at a working-professional level, you should be able to take part.
Formats and attendance
All three formats cover the same 16 hours of training. The main difference is how the learning is spread out.
Choose the 2-day workshop if you prefer an intensive format or want to complete the course quickly.
Choose the 4-Saturday format if weekends are more convenient and you prefer spreading the course over several weeks.
Choose the 8-evening format if you prefer shorter sessions after work and want more time between classes to practise what you’ve learned.
There isn’t a “better” format. Choose the one that best suits the way you prefer to learn and your schedule.
You don’t need to prepare a speech or presentation before your first class unless we specifically let you know otherwise.
Come ready to participate, practise and try things out. Course materials are provided, and the exercises are introduced and guided during the sessions.
If there is a particular presentation or communication challenge you’re working on at work, you can also let Iwan know. It may help him make his feedback even more relevant to you.
If you’re attending the 4-Saturday or 8-evening format and need to miss a session, let us know as early as possible.
Where possible, we’ll arrange for you to attend the corresponding session in a future cohort, subject to availability.

Yes. As AI takes on more routine work, the human side of your job matters more.
