For more than 16 years, Dineshrie has helped professionals transform speaking anxiety into strategic communication that drives real business results.
Over the past 16 years, I have worked with corporate leaders, technical specialists and business professionals who reach pivotal moments in their careers — moments when communication suddenly matters more than ever before.
Some are stepping into new leadership roles and now find themselves presenting in meetings that their technical training never prepared them for.
Others want to promote their ideas, their business or their expertise with greater confidence.
And then there are those who simply want to find their voice again — after life, work pressures or self-doubt have quietly held them back.
But they all share one intention:
They are ready to speak with purpose — and finally be heard.
Watch What Happens Inside Speaker Ignite
Participants from the previous public programme share the moments that shifted their confidence and changed the way they approach speaking.
The Moments that Shifted Everything
Participants often arrive with uncertainty and leave with a completely different mindset about speaking.
Here are some reflections from delegates in the previous programme.
“I was very shy and introverted. I did not know what to expect. Now I can see myself standing in front of a crowd and delivering what I am meant to deliver.”
Zarina Cassim
“Before this programme I relied on tips and tricks from other courses. Now I have a proper framework for how to speak. My confidence has grown and I can use these tools to elevate my professional brand.”
Sashen Singh
“For a long time I thought only senior leaders speak. This programme showed me that everyone can speak — and the only way to grow is to take it head on.”
Deon Naidoo
What Participants Discover
Many delegates describe several breakthrough moments during the programme.
They discover:
As one delegate shared:
“The psychology session was the turning point for me. I realised that fear is something to embrace, not avoid.”
Small Shifts Create Big Momentum
Throughout the programme, delegates are encouraged to make small improvements that compound into lasting confidence.
I often describe this as making a 2% shift — small changes in preparation, mindset and delivery that create meaningful progress in your speaking journey.
By the end of the programme, participants leave with clear actions they are ready to apply immediately in their work environments.
What to Expect from the Programme

These sessions are designed to be interactive, practical and supportive.

Zarina Cassim
“This is one of the better communication programmes I have attended. The tools are practical and immediately applicable in the business world.”
Sashen Singh
“Don’t look at it as only a speaking programme. There are many aspects that improve how you communicate.”
Deon Naidoo

Participants often leave with a deeper sense of confidence than they imagined possible.
“I am proud that I showed up and allowed myself to learn.”

Event Details
Speaker Ignite Public Programme
Hosted by Dineshrie Pillay
What you will gain:
Public speaking is not a talent reserved for a few.
It is a skill that can be learned.
As I often say:
“If you can learn how to drive a car, you can learn how to speak.”
If you are ready to leave fear behind and begin developing your speaking confidence, this programme will give you the tools and the environment to do exactly that.
