I recently finished a confidence-building and public speaking course through Di Riddell and found her to be outstanding at not just motivation, courage and her true calling “Public Speaking” but also in listening and asking the right questions to find the real reason as to why this may have been an issue for me.
 

She listened, the way that Di used her skills, listened, critiqued (which only helped me improve) and managed our class was fantastic, I was very nervous about the whole idea, Di made me feel very comfortable the whole time and I have no hesitation in recommending her services now and in the future.
 

On a final note: I since had to give my first public speech at a business networking night, and whilst I was still nervous, I can tell you right now if it wasn’t for the help and guidance of Di I would NEVER  have got up and delivered it. Thanks, Di for helping build my confidence not just as a speaker but as a person who really needed it!!!

“With Di Riddell, what you see is what you get. When you set eyes on her, you see that she is always immaculately presented; you see that she has a professional air about her and you see that she looks the part and is comfortable at the lectern. Inside this professional exterior lies an intelligent, charming, caring and very sincere person. These traits are readily identifiable when she is addressing an audience. I have witnessed Di presenting to audiences of hundreds and she has been professional, controlled and at ease on the stage. Di’s work ethic and organisational skills have been demonstrated through the senior leadership roles that she has taken on during her many decades of involvement with the renowned communication organisation, Toastmasters International. But like the ad says – ‘But wait, there’s more’. Di’s welcoming smile and sense of fun and humour help to engage an audience and allow them to sit back and enjoy the occasion.”  

“Di Riddell is an exciting, entertaining and well-researched speaker who brings enthusiasm, humour and presence to an event. She was one of three speakers chosen to be part of Family Planning Queensland’s 40th Celebrations and from our first contact, Di was professional, involved and supportive. Her positive energy and skill as a Presenter, gained over a 35 year period, has earned her a trusted and respected reputation. This was evident as she captivated our audience with confidence and enthusiasm. On the night she achieved this through ‘learning, lightness and laughter’ on the sensitive subject of sensuality. She is an excellent storyteller…the audience were enthralled… her personal stories showed timeless wisdom and practical strategies for today’s mature woman. Di is passionate about helping people to present the very best of themselves with confidence. Di is entertaining, ‘real’ and has a fresh approach to her presentations. With her…be ready to be informed, entertained and disarmed. Excellent content, great message …and genuinely funny! If you want your group revitalised, mentally nourished and left with a message…then call Di, we highly recommend her as a speaker. Thanks, Di!”

“Di Riddell’s presentation skills training is impeccable, her knowledge on the subject matter is absolute and experiential and her presentation is fun and engaging. Di is a gracious speaker who is there to help, heal and not to ‘sell’. Di was our keynote Speaker at Sunshine Coast Business Swap and we would be delighted to host her again.”

“Di Riddell was our guest speaker at our last student graduation. Di’s talk was very entertaining and well presented. She spoke from the heart and managed to convey to the students a profound message of hope and encouragement. Di is a polished speaker and while her manner was relaxed and humours it also contained deep meaningful insights. All present enjoyed her presentation immensely.”

“Di’s active listening, her perception and broad view of possibilities encouraged me to create and take action on options that opened doors to success in achieving my goal.”
