Stand Up And Speak
What is SUAS?
Dermot's tried and tested method for overcoming the fear of public speaking, based on learning by doing.
Learning by doing
SUAS (Stand Up And Speak) teaches the basics of public speaking and how to overcome the common fear of speaking in public. It focuses on learning by doing, to get you on your feet and speaking whatever the occasion: a work presentation, a wedding speech, a team meeting or something unexpected.
SUAS was designed by Dermot Goode, who overcame his own fear of public speaking to become an accomplished speaker and presenter. He works with people at every skill level, helping them get past nerves and anxiety and prepare for any speaking situation.
What a session covers
Each session is shaped around you, drawing on the three parts of the SUAS method.
The fundamentals
The basics of good public speaking. We break down the myths and explain why we react the way we do when asked to speak in front of an audience.
Speaking off the cuff
The building blocks of effective speaking, and how to cope when you are suddenly asked to speak with no notes or time to prepare.
A well-structured speech
Moving your focus away from the fear and onto the task: preparing a well-structured speech, and speaking from memory with no notes at all.
Who it's for
What can SUAS do for you?
SUAS is for anyone who:
- feels anxious at the thought of speaking in public
- avoids situations that involve speaking in public
- has never given a presentation before
- has panicked or frozen at a past speaking event
Dermot has three key messages that he shares with everyone he coaches:
- Everybody can learn to be an effective speaker.
- Don’t leave it until you get caught out.
- “If I can do it, anyone can.”
