Ges is a fantastic public speaking coach and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their public speaking performance and increase their confidence. He has such a presence about him and has a wonderful manner that encourages even the most timid to engage. He loves what he does and it shines through and makes it fun for everyone.

Ges was a fantastic facilitator of our Public Speaking course. He had a natural talent in making everyone feel comfortable and confident and I left the course with a better understanding of my skills and areas for development in order to improve. I also thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Ges has helped to step up my skills in public speaking by taking me through some simple but effective exercises. He delivers his workshops with a great deal of information and fun.

I had the pleasure of attending a Business Development Workshop with Ges, and what a delight it was! The energy in the room was incredible. And with a subject as daunting as 'public speaking', Ges was just the guy to put us all at ease. The way in which he engaged with the group was magic, and the techniques, priceless! Already being fairly confident with my own capabilities of public speaking, Ges was able to give us a refresher and makes you think about ways you can continue improving. I would highly recommend Ges's workshops, regardless of your experience with public speaking.

I attended Ges' seminar last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ges has a warm and engaging style that draws you in and ensures you get maximum benefit from the session. For those who have little experience of speaking in public to those who have been doing it forever, I am sure that everyone could learn something from Ges.

I picked some very useful tips at the session and am already putting into practice; even useful for meetings as well as full on presentations

Public speaking has always terrified me, I don't think I am alone!
I attended the Business Development 101 training event hosted by Ges Ray and Thomas Duncan Bell.
Ges has a wonderfully calming way of getting his public speaking message across whilst incorporating audience participation ranging from voice warm ups to shouting Shakespearian obscenities at your partner! The workshop is delivered in a light hearted, humorous way leaving you with a tool box of tips to use at your next public speaking event. Thank you!

I took Ges's Foundation Presentation Skills training course on 20th May 2015 because I wanted to be more confident speaking in public, in front of my peers and to put myself forward to make presentations to the business I work for. Ges's teaching style made me feel very at ease, the course was easy to follow, gave the opportunity to practice in the classroom with useful examples, tips to take away and start to use.

Team SNAP recently worked with Ges in three workshops all focused around public speaking. Not only did Ges give the team and myself some great tips on how to be effective at speaking in public, he also helped us combat our weaknesses and improve our skills.

The sessions had a fantastic combination of speaking techniques and built to a fitting finish in the final workshop, allowing us to polish our skills and enabling us to use the things we had learnt on a daily basis and within public speaking.

I would highly recommend Ges if you would like to improve your public speaking and have a lot of fun along the way!

Ges gave me confidence and great advice for public speaking in my first workshop. I took these with me and applied them immediately, I recommend others to do the same as Ges is a professional that leads by example.

Ges recently delivered three public speaking sessions to SNAP. They had a fantastic combination of education and enjoyment, and provided us with invaluable speaking techniques to use on a daily basis.
I would highly recommend Ges if you would like to improve, bolster, or turbo-charge your public speaking!

Thank you and look forward to putting the work to good use.

The SNAP team recently attended some truly worthwhile workshops with Ges and 'Speaking In Public'. Some excellent tips and learnings that has improved my ability to speak in public. I thoroughly recommend Ges to anyone, a top professional with an abundance of passion and enthusiasm for his work.

Ges, I would like to recommend you to anyone who is nervous about public speaking.
You were recommended to me by Nicola MacDonald, who was aware I had agreed to give a 20 minute talk on Cloud Computing. Knowing the subject was not a problem, it was purely that I had never attempted anything like it before.
Your tips and advice were invaluable and I felt the talk went much better having spent an hour with you beforehand. In fact in the end, I rather enjoyed the whole experience!

I have been working with Ges on creating some training materials over the last few months and yesterday, at an extremely important meeting with a CEO of a company, I decided to use some of Ges's breathing techniques to help me get my points across to the board of directors. I delivered the pitch of my life and got straight on the phone to thank Ges afterwards. Ges is incredibly skilled at what he does and one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I'd strongly recommend working with him.

Highly recommend Ges, he was extremely competent, well informed and was very effective. I learnt a great deal from Ges and found what he had to say very helpful. Ges Ray is highly experienced and I would recommend him without hesitation.

I worked with Ges recently on improving my speaking skills for networking pitches. After just one hour, I had techniques, confidence and tricks to help me feel better about the whole process. I'd happily recommend Ges to anyone who needs this type of training and support

I met Ges through local networking and contacted him for some advice and guidance regarding a programme of talks and workshops I am planning. Ges is passionate about public speaking and helping others to be equally passionate. Having spent 20+ years as a IT Management Consultant I wanted to switch styles to addressing a very different audience. During a 1-Hour session, Ges immediately understood my goals and then proceeded to provide clear, step-by-step advice on delivery techniques and present constructive feedback, great ideas and tools to engage with my new audience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ges to anybody who struggles with public speaking or is looking to develop alternative styles for different audiences.

Having recently completed a series of 3 workshops I wanted to express my thanks and confirm that this has been an extremely worthwhile investment. All the team have benefitted significantly from what has been an informative and enjoyable training programme. Our jobs regularly involve us meeting new people and/or making presentations to a wider audience. In every respect the team feel better prepared, understand the important things to focus on and as a result feel so much more confident. Great job, thank you.

Ges ran an amazing one to one coaching section for me in preparation for a speaking session at Olympia. It was such a fun packed hour and we covered such a lot in a short amount of time. Ges immediately gave me reassurance and confidence. I walked away with some key pointers that I could remember and practice. I felt so confident standing up in front of 50 strangers at Olympia and that is all down to Ges and his techniques. I wish I had met Ges years ago!

Ges was very friendly and professional in his approach to presentation training. His succinct approach, breaking things back to six key elements to remember gave me and the rest of the group a clear focus and by the end of the day everyone was clearly more confident and more technically adept.

Ges is a true gentleman who has mastered the art of training, coaching and developing public speaking skills in others. I have experienced others trying their best to help people in conquering their phobias and yet all they achieve is confirmation and a deepening of these fears, whereas Ges takes what is a daunting challenge for most and truly makes it engaging and dare I say it. fun. I will continue to recommend Ges without hesitation.

I asked Ges to provide a critique of my presentation style which he did very professionally and added a few recommendations of his own. Have passed his details onto a number of others as I have no hesitation in recommending him.
