Importance of Communication Skills
A Message from our Founder
Over the years, I have studied the lives of individuals across societies and countries, including my own personal and professional life. I have found that the common denominator in almost all successful relationships is Communication Skills.
Whether it’s a family, friendship, company, community, or any other organization with 2 or more human beings, the ability to communicate determines the quality of the relationships.
The better the communication skills, the better the relationships and hence, the better the organization’s health is. With this in mind, our goal is simply:
To help entrepreneurs & executives succeed by speaking, presenting, and selling better.
We believe that life can be so much easier and better if we can communicate that much more effectively. The benefits of better communication will be seen and felt not only by the speaker but also the recipients.
It doesn’t take much to be a confident, convincing & competent speaker. All it takes is an insight to the human psychology, an established framework, and a progressive guidance.
Anyone can, and should, be a great communicator.
Importance of Communication Skills in Summary
➊ Communication Skills are lifelong skills
that will last a lifetime.
➋ Communication skills are 'learnable'
➌ Communication skills are beneficial for your
personal & professional life

- Alexia Q16 Mar 2024Enjoyed and learnt a lot from Iwan in just 4 weeks. He broke down public speaking into bite size, digestible content and weaved in nuggets of wisdom, humor and personal stories which made learning so enjoyable. He is a master of his craft and his dedication to helping every student was sincere. It was so great to be able to learn from him and the class! Highly recommend this course. Thanks Iwan!read moreread lessdennis lum10 Mar 2024This is a great course in short. Coach IWAN has been phenomenal in tackling individual students in response to each of our issues. Not only equipping us with valuable skills but also providing us with actionable twerks that aid me to implement it in the workplace. Often in the workplace, we wouldn't open and honest about the presentation/ speaking, attending this course offers a platform to re-evaluate how we are framing our content. Afterall it's just words coming out from our mouth, but what matters above all would be how we are saying it.read moreread lessshiyun foo09 Mar 2024Highly recommended course to improve your communication skills and combat your anxiety. Iwan is a passionate trainer who generously shares his personal experiences and advice, in addition to teaching many great tools and methods throughout the 4-day course. The value and knowledge gained are worth every single cent and minute spent!read moreread lessLim Wei Sen08 Mar 2024I wanted to express my gratitude to Iwan for his guidance during Presentation Skills & Public Speaking course.

- Yeegn Lougn Hoe08 Mar 2024Wanted to make good use of governments initiative, Skillsnfuture to learn some useful life skills. Came across good reviews of Speak Sell Success and looked up the profile of trainer, Iwan, absolutely convinced to sign up for the 2 day Public Speaking course. Truly enjoyed the sessions, interaction and engagement with Iwan and course mates. Course content is easily absorbed, relatable and trainer was truly inspiring and engaging. Highli recommended for everyone.read moreread lessJeramin Kwek07 Mar 2024For an introvert like me to sign up for this class takes a lot of courage . Our trainer, Iwan shared his knowledge and useful tips for public speaking . He gave us space to learn and make mistakes and yet always so encouraging. Yes.. I am signing up for another upcoming class conducted by him.read moreread lessQiuting Hong07 Mar 2024This is the only ever class i went to, in my ENTIRE life, that i didn't doze off. This is how engaging our public speaking teacher Iwan is. 10/10 recommend 👍🏻 He doesn't go by the book and hardly refer to the slides/ page by page of the handbook and the entire two days were very interactive. All the trainees get plenty of opportunities to practice and be evaluated to put what we learnt into action. I've learnt a lot the last 2 days about public speaking but more than that, about the importance, and power of communication. If there's anything you should pick up, be it for your personal developmental growth or for the advancement of your career, this is it.read moreread lessHuong Tran23 Feb 2024I attended a 2-day public speaking and presentation skills workshop back in Dec 2023. Iwan is a good trainer who share constructive feedback and motivating you at the sane time, that helps you wont be afraid of speaking in public. The course content is pretty insightful and well structured, easy to understand and you can continue to practice after the course. Highly recommend the course to anyone, especially who wants to level up your communication skills.read moreread less
