Australia's premier public speaking training organization, empowering professionals to communicate with confidence and impact since 2020.
We believe that effective communication is the cornerstone of professional success. Our mission is to empower Australian professionals, leaders, and organizations with the skills, confidence, and strategies needed to communicate with impact, influence, and authenticity.
Founded in 2020 by a team of experienced communication professionals, ipotegrand emerged from a simple observation: while Australian professionals are among the most skilled in the world, many struggle to communicate their expertise effectively. We saw brilliant minds hiding behind hesitation, innovative ideas lost in poor presentations, and talented leaders held back by communication anxiety.
What started as a small coaching practice in Melbourne has grown into Australia's most trusted public speaking training organization. We've worked with everyone from nervous graduates giving their first presentations to C-suite executives addressing international audiences. Our approach combines proven psychological techniques with practical business applications, all tailored to the unique cultural context of Australian workplaces.
Our team of certified coaches, trainers, and communication specialists brings decades of combined experience from corporate Australia, academia, and professional training.
Former Director of Leadership Development at AGSM, Sarah has coached over 200 senior executives across ASX companies. She holds a PhD in Organizational Psychology and is a certified Master Coach with the International Coach Federation.
Specializing in performance anxiety and communication confidence, Michael has helped over 2,000 professionals overcome speaking fears. He published groundbreaking research on the neuroscience of communication anxiety.
