Public Speaking Course Dublin

Why This Presentation Skills Training Stands Out
This isn’t just another public speaking course in Dublin — it’s a game-changer for professionals who want real results. Here’s what makes it different:
“I recently attended a half-day, one-on-one session with Shiera before a public speaking event. I found her advice and coaching brilliant — it helped me tremendously on the day. Her work on my presentation allowed me to convey my message exactly the way I wanted. Highly recommend if you’re a nervous public speaker.”

Your Public Speaking Coach in Dublin
Shiera O’Brien is one of Ireland’s most experienced public speaking coaches, with over 20 years working with professionals, executives and business leaders across Dublin and globally. Her background combines accredited NLP and Neuro-Semantics coaching with real-world business experience — including senior roles at global companies like IBM — giving her a unique understanding of what high-performance communication actually looks like under pressure.
Shiera’s approach to presentation skills training in Dublin goes far beyond technique. Where most courses focus on tips and performance, Shiera works on the thinking behind the speaking — the beliefs, language patterns and self-image that either hold you back or drive you forward. The result is a speaker who doesn’t just look confident. They are confident.
She has coached over 3,000 professionals to overcome their fear of public speaking — helping sales professionals win deals with more persuasive pitches, and helping candidates land their ideal roles by presenting with clarity and confidence. Shiera is also a Toastmasters Speech Evaluation Competition winner — meaning she doesn’t just coach speaking, she knows at a technical level exactly what separates a good presentation from a great one.
Clients include C-suite executives, senior managers, sales directors, law partners and entrepreneurs — many of whom came in barely able to present to a room of five, and left ready to address hundreds. Whether you need a fear of public speaking course or targeted coaching ahead of a specific event, Shiera designs every programme around your goals.
“Shiera’s coaching was transformative. Through powerful questioning and tailored strategies, she helped me gain confidence, overcome my fears and become far more comfortable presenting to large audiences under pressure. Her professionalism, energy and commitment to building communication skills sets her apart.”
