Alan & Thomas Insurance Brokers

Although I have been on presentation courses before what you did was very different.

Aldridge & Brownlee Solicitors

Thank you for the presentation skills courses eight of our Partners have attended over the last couple of months. I have spoken to each of them and, without exception, they considered the course to be of great value and, most importantly, enjoyable. We will be sending a further three to you in August.

Alliance Automotive UK Ltd

Vanessa's remit was to evaluate my performance as a speaker the day prior to my giving an important presentation to an audience of over 300 suppliers and customers.

Barclays Bank

The power of Watch Out World cannot be understated. After taking the course run by Vanessa Ugatti, I was truly stunned by the avenues of confidence that opened up before me.

Barclays Bank

I will continue to recommend WOW to my colleagues and business contacts that I obtain as I truly believe you can add value to anyone, no matter what level they are at for public speaking & presenting.

Bartercard Dorset

“I found Vanessa Ugatti’s one-day course in Speaking with Confidence very helpful. It enabled me to structure and deliver a short talk clearly, concisely and confidently to a group of over 40 businesses, something which before I felt unable to do. So thank you Vanessa! “

Blaxx Ltd

In terms of ROI on our investment you delivered 'gold'. I was able to confidently deliver a fifteen minute presentation to a 200 strong audience whilst standing on a stage - and enjoyed it.

Body in Motion

I would highly recommend Vanessa Ugatti and Watch Out World to anyone serious about getting their message heard AND remembered!

Business & Commercial Finance

I can personally vouch that the basic one day course instils an amazing confidence and develops the ability to create a structured presentation.

Business Evolution Group plc

Your talk was inspirational, Vanessa - as a result this morning, I went into work with a really positive attitude and the mood of the whole team seemed to change - that day, we won a huge order - perhaps it was just a lucky coincidence, but I think not.

Cameron Cavey Consulting

A hugely informative and challenging day which has given me more confidence to trust in my ability to present.

Careys Manor Hotel (Brockenhurst)

Public speaking used to be something I would avoid at any cost. I remember standing there hoping the ground would open up beneath me. A year or so ago I attended a WOW course on public speaking and haven't looked back since.

Clarify IT Limited

I have had some quality time to reflect on the training day we had today, and I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the effort you put in to make it a safe, fun and healthy environment for us all to learn in.

Computer Training Solutions

It was incredibly useful to be able to receive feedback in such a positive, constructive manner. A fantastic experience to realise the training errors I was making and how to overcome them. Working with you was definitely the most useful experience of my teaching and training career.

Confidence Coaching

Thank you so much for helping me to see the light and giving me the courage to go for it. Mrs J Baker, Bournemouth.

Cottonwood Speakers Speech

For improving your general confidence in speech delivery, I have no hesitation in recommending WOW (i.e. the lovely Vanessa Ugatti).

Father of the Bride

As father of the bride (only daughter!) I obviously hoped my speech would go down well but although I had many ideas, I had no concept of structure and just could not get it to run well. I approached Vanessa, and very soon she was able to structure it, give advice on the level of humour and poignancy and help me a great deal with the delivery. Before I went to Vanessa, I think I had been wanting to deliver the speech word for word, but she made me realise that in my case, I am actually more relaxed when I do ad lib a little - I would not have had the confidence to do this without spending time with Vanessa. I am sure that my time spent will help me enormously, not only for this important day. I recommend her most highly.

Father of the Bride Speech

I found Vanessa’s help invaluable, and, in just two short sessions, I was able to learn to accept it will be scary, but not let this affect me.

Fish On Toast

Vanessa ran a fantastic interactive session called 'The Public Speaking Masterclass' for over 90 students at Southampton University's Entrepreneurs Society, Fish on Toast. I would be delighted to recommend her in the future, not only as a great coach, but also as a kind and genuine person.

Focus on You

The ability for our Franchisees to be effective networkers is a foundation to the long term development of their companies. Having recently attended WOW’s Art of Networking Skills, I was so impressed with Vanessa Ugatti’s succinct half day course that the Focus on You franchise package now includes the (optional) attendance of this course.

Frettens LLP

Vanessa's Seminars are an absolute MUST for anyone who is regularly speaking in the public domain! I now realise that there is so much more to the delivery of a message. I found the day not only great fun, but constructive, fascinating and a real confidence booster.

Hotel TerraVina

Vanessa’s courses are extremely useful and very informative.

LV Streetwise

Speaking in public sounds very grand, but actually attending one of Vanessa's courses is more about bringing out the confidence you already have in yourself so that others can see it and respond positively.

Laishley Ltd

Good presentation with quality information is an important tool of any business. Vanessa Ugatti brings a refreshing and professional approach to company training. I consider Watch Out World to be a valued part of our team, giving our staff a unique insight into what really works.

ME-MO

I would wholeheartedly recommend Vanessa to anyone who feels they could do with that extra boost in self-esteem, before an important event!

MSI-Defence Systems Ltd

I can't tell you how motivated I was after your session at the Business Link event in Weymouth last week. You really are very impressive - a great motivator as well. You have a great presence 'on stage' that you can use to great effect when you want to. You are very approachable, while clearly being confident - an unusual combination.

Magpie Wills & Estate Planning

Public Speaking is an art unto itself and Vanessa was able to bring out the best in those who attended her course with her gentle, honest and charismatic approach.

Mazars

I wanted to let you know that the presentation went very well - no fear factor at all. Your techniques worked. Thank you. What is even better is that I've just found out that we have won the job that we trying to secure. Thanks again for all of your help.

Mobile Media

I attended WOW's Public Speaking Seminar and found it very useful as it reminded me of techniques I'd forgotten and gave me greater confidence in public speaking. I would recommend this course to any business people or those who just want to improve their confidence outside of work.

Moonfleet Manor Hotel, Weymouth

When I stood up in front of 70 people to present my company at The Carrington Club I felt prepared and empowered! I never thought that I would ever feel this way about presenting and this was after just one session with Vanessa!

New Forest Cleaning

Having attended one of Vanessa Ugatti's seminars, I can now confidently deliver a presentation to an audience instead of panicking at the thought! I would thoroughly recommend Watch Out World to anyone in business who wants to make an impact and get ahead in a competitive world.

Nutrichef

I am a great fan of Vanessa's - having attended one of her public speaking seminars and found it hugely beneficial, I then asked Vanessa to work with my telesales staff to improve the way they come across to potential customers - the result was better than I could have hoped for - in fact, one of my staff was nearly poached by a customer!

PR Garage

My palpable fear of presenting has been significantly reduced. Vanessa taught me how to feel the experience rather than learn the content "parrot fashion". Together we drilled the content down to a simple, palatable offering which was well received and I really enjoyed the day. I am looking forward to doing the next one.

Paris, Smith & Randall LLP

Vanessa Ugatti's down to earth approach to training people in public speaking skills really works. She also has the ability to create a warm, supportive atmosphere which makes learning so much easier and fun. I now feel better equipped to go out and speak at seminars on behalf of Paris, Smith and Randall LLP, knowing that I can do a good job.

Positive Solutions

Like many people, I have feared presenting to the public for a number of reasons. I attended one of Vanessa Ugatti's seminars and found the whole day most enjoyable. More importantly, I gained valuable insight on how to approach the art of speaking. Through various exercises throughout the day, my confidence grew and I can genuinely say that my fears have been obliterated. Vanessa has this amazing charisma which tends to bring the best out of people and is a born natural in her field.

Powerpoint

I needed to improve on my skills for a very important presentation. The boost in confidence I gained with Vanessa's help made all the difference - the presentation went so well that I am now in negotiation with a company for substantial investment. Great value, great day, great coaching.

Powertech Solar Ltd

Last week, I was called upon to speak at a funeral service on behalf of the bereaved sons, whose Father had died suddenly at only 58... I have to say that it was a very emotional time and I didn’t relish the idea of imparting the thoughts of the boys on such an occasion, in front of so many people, most of whom I had never met before... Recalling much of the valuable advice you imparted on the training day, I am pleased to say that I was able to effectively deliver their words without any trouble at all.

Princecroft Willis LLP

Vanessa, thanks very much for yesterday, I did get much from it. I will be happy to recommend to fellow professionals as and when the opportunity arises.

Quay Asset Management

If you want to make the difference, you couldn't do better than spend time with Vanessa.

Rawlins Davy Plc

I attended a WOW course a week ago with two of my colleagues here from Rawlins Davy Plc.

Having had a serious fear of public speaking for as long as I could remember I was very sceptical when Vanessa approached me and offered her help.

Rothman Pantall & Co

Vanessa provides exactly the right environment to encourage you to have the confidence to speak in front of people.

Royal Bournemouth & Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

This is to say a big thank you for your help on what was an excellent day.

Salad Creative

The improvers'course was all I hoped it would be. A valuable day for me. Thank you for making it happen. It was worth the sleepless nights!

Salad Creative Ltd

The course content was very easy to take onboard and I enjoyed learning with (and from) the other attendees as we embarked on the various tasks. As we laughed with each other and put into practice what we were learning, quite a few pieces started to click into place that I shall always remember.

Sales Audit Trail

Vanessa's speaking skills are benchmark. I have heard Vanessa speak on many occasions over the last few years. When she speaks the whole room goes quiet, not because of volume but because she has one of the most listenable voices I have heard. She has articulate clarity from which we can all learn!

Save Energy UK Ltd

Firstly please let me thank you for a very enjoyable course, it was fun. Before attending I was terrified about speaking in public and to be honest was not looking forward to the course. You carefully explained how to cope with my fears, showed me how to plan a speech and even stand correctly whilst presenting.

Scanmoor

I found Vanessa to be very professional, empathic, easy to talk to, attentive and a good listener. She was also able to bring the best out of me quickly and easily. In fact, she exorcised a ghost regarding the fear of public speaking which I had lived with for more than twenty years.

Scott Walby LLP

Vanessa Ugatti of Watch Out World, listened to one of my seminars in order to give her professional opinion on my presentation skills. She then gave me a summary of the positives as well as the negatives. I was not even aware that I was making half these mistakes!

Smart Recruitment

Sharon and I wrote our presentation yesterday, and, following your training, reduced war and peace to an eight slide hard-hitting presentation. The result was dynamite - Vanessa, you would have been be proud of us - thanks for a great training course.

Sunbelt Business Brokers

Vanessa's course not only taught me the correct structure for a presentation but showed me different ways to get my audience to appreciate and understand my message. I received some invaluable feedback on posture and breathing and at the end of the day I felt really great!

TWL Inbound Ltd

Thanks for a really great day yesterday... I really admire you for everything that you do and have done throughout your interesting life so far. And I think you are probably the strongest lady I have ever met - apart from my mum!

TerraVina

Vanessa’s courses are extremely useful and very informative. She has a simple way to teach but it is highly efficient and on top of it, it is great fun. So please; more of it or as we say in French; Encore!

The British Association of Removers (Speech)

The two one-hour one-to-one sessions gave me the confidence to get up on stage and deliver a presentation to about 150 delegates - something which had previously been outside my comfort zone.

The Red Partnership

Over my working life, I have participated in many management development programmes. They all included public speaking sessions and Watch Out World's was the best, by far, that I have been on.

The Tank Museum

I found the workshop extremely beneficial. Previously, I was hesitant at public speaking but after working with Vanessa, she has given me an inner confidence which I'm now putting to good practice.

Unicorn Courtesy Cars Ltd

I had met Vanessa several times before I had the courage to book a place on one of her courses.

Warner Goodman LLP

I used the techniques you described from the breakfast meeting to increase my energy and I think it made me much more animated and able to act out parts of the talk which must have made it more interesting to the audience. Also, the inclusion of the audience by asking them to imagine being in a certain situation, worked really well.
