“I’ve found the School of Eloquence as the go-to institution for the learning and mastery of the art of public speaking, especially for highly placed Nigerians in business or politics. I am also the more impressed that its dean, Ubong Essien, brings global best practices to bear having recently become Nigeria’s first Certified Speaking Professional. I highly recommend it.”
Prof. Pat Utomi
Director, Lagos Business School and founder, - Centre for Values in Leadership (CVL)
Prior to the course, I always had butterflies whenever I had to make a presentation but the training has given me confidence and also reminded me that there are no born speakers. The ability to speak eloquently is acquired. I recommend the course as part of the curriculum for induction programs in various organizations.”

The most interesting thing about the course is that it was practically based. The theoretical parts were well taught and digested, while the practical session was both challenging and interesting.
