How is this course different from Toastmasters?
Toastmasters specializes in speaking techniques, so you are evaluated on your speaking skills, not the value of your information.
For example, suppose you lecture on how Columbus discovered Miami while surfing across the ocean. You can still win a speech contest because you are judged by your presentation skills, clarity of voice, eye contact with the audience, and stage presence—all very important, even if factually incorrect.
Fearless public speaking, by contrast, focuses on delivering relevant information your audience is seeking. You must explain facts and instructions clearly because you are preparing for real-world presentations. That likely affects sales, donations, or your job, where you will be judged by the value of your information than your hand gestures or vocal variety.
Toastmasters is designed for a broad audience, and speeches are expected to avoid controversial content. Fearless public speaking is about private coaching and, eventually, a niche audience, so you can let it rip. Your sessions are strictly confidential.

How is this course different than a communications program at a prestigious university?
College comes bundled in an extensive package. A beautiful campus, a leisurely pace, and encourages a top-of-the-world attitude. And comes with a price tag to match.
You go to college in part to rise above the riff-raff. A prestigious "communications" degree impresses a lot of people. But as for your training, they boast long lectures and "small" classes you share with 13 or more others. Name-dropping sounds great during your introduction. But when you are standing on stage alone, you are on your own.
By contrast, Fearless public speaking is lean and mean. You get real-world coaching with one-on-one coaching. And it is not academic theory taught by someone with academic degrees without real-world, in-the-field experience. All that is fine - if you plan to stay in the ivory tower safe-and-secure environment. But step outside; that is another matter.
Fearless public speaking teaches you faster and at less cost, roughly 10 - 100 times less. Instead of rising above the crowd, you will learn to mingle right in it. And reach them by getting right to the point. The course runs like this too. You know to remove all barriers that get in the way between speaking and listening—short lessons, hands-on practice, and one-on-one coaching. You have a message you need to get across. We will get you there. And faster.

Reviews
The workshop was very, very helpful. I learned so many things from Harris. How to pinpoint the only things you need to pinpoint. Just tell only what your audience wants to hear and what they will profit from. Bella Barova |
I took the Harris from Paris workshop on “How To Tell Your Story.” The confidence and the appeal I got after taking the course was phenomenal. I recommend Harris from Paris to everyone who’s looking to tell their story.” Amazing Money-Walker |
Thank you so much Harris. The workshop was so helpful and wonderful. I learned a lot just by giving a two minute speech. And I’m looking forward to the next one. Miyo Yamauchi |
We learned from Harris Gaffin that it doesn’t matter how much information you have if you're not connecting with your audience. That was the most important thing; connecting with the audience. Don Wells |
I was in Harris’ class, “How to Tell A Story” and I truly learned how to tell a story. For the first time, I’m feeling absolutely confident. I can’t wait to go home and try what I learned today. Melody Mundy |
This class does a wonderful job of showing the structure you think would be basic but not appreciated in day-to-day life. You will find it easier to communicate your story or point of view. John C. |
