We have seen a remarkable transformation in our employees: greater confidence when speaking in front of groups, more polished presentations, clearer communication, and an overall boost in professionalism.

Fady Hocheimy

The Forbes Academy structured and highly engaging training program exceeded our expectations in every regard. Over the course of two months, the Academy delivered a transformative experience that not only addressed our team's individual challenges with public speaking, but also equipped us with the practical tools and confidence necessary to communicate with clarity and authority.

The Forbes Academy played an instrumental role in delivering comprehensive and targeted training to a substantial portion of our workforce, including branch managers, relationship managers, and staff from marketing, sales, and public relations.

The practical exercises, insightful lessons, and engaging delivery of the programme have equipped me with tools that I am confident will enhance my role in representing and articulating ideas clearly with my responsibilities. I truly appreciate the excellence and professionalism demonstrated by the Forbes Academy, and commend their efforts in fostering effective communication skills.”

Mohammed Nasir Saidu

Director/Head of the National Budget and Research Office, Federal Republic of Nigeria

I never thought I could learn so much about speaking in such a short period of time. Pastor Forbes uses real-life examples and makes sure you are tested and prepared for the real world. His delivery is perfect, and the classes are full of life and never boring.

Hussein Diab Ghanem

Managing Director, Africell The Gambia

As Technical Director and leader of the Edinburgh Structures Team in one of the UK’s leading providers of full life-cycle engineering, operations, and decarbonisation solutions for transport infrastructure and complex facilities, I use public speaking techniques regularly as part of my duties to explain complex engineering problems and solutions to non-technical clients. The knowledge and skills acquired from TFA training have significantly enhanced my abilities to speak confidently and convincingly.
