Being on the Programme has given me the tools to tackle challenging speaking situations and achieve what I want in my career.
I enjoy giving back to the Programme and helping new students overcome their fears and start their journey to freedom.
I have met some wonderful people from all over Australia (and the world) who share similar issues to me, but we also share the will and motivation to overcome them - and that is what makes the McGuire Programme so successful.

An Australian Icon Retires
L-R: Geoff Johnston (Retiring RD), Scott Monson (Incoming RD), Mark Irwin (ASEA President)
Over 60 graduates of the Australian Programme attended the recent course in Melbourne to pay tribute to a national icon. Geoff Johnston joined the programme in 1999, and took on the role of Regional Director in 2001. After 13 years and 70+ courses in the position, he was touched that so many graduates travelled across the country to thank him in person for the inspiration, motivation and dedication he has shown in helping so many on their road to freedom.
Brisbane Australia Course - August 2014
Julia's public speech on the main stage area in the Queen Street Mall. Well done Julia.
On Wednesday evening 6th August new students feeling a little anxious and graduates met at the Hotel George Williams in Brisbane to begin a 4-day intensive course to help them manage their stuttering behaviour. The introductory session went well with the objective of showing the new people that there is something that can be done about their stuttering. Instructors, coaches and graduates all demonstrated powerful and eloquent speech giving the students hope and the belief that with bravery, hard work and persistence they too could have similar success.

My best friend saw something about the McGuire Programme on TV and suggested I try it out. Initially, I was skeptical, but made the necessary inquiries and attended my first course. That was the best decision that I ever made. My skepticism changed quickly, primarily because of the pragmatic approach and the simplicity of tools and techniques employed. There are no claims of ‘magic cures’ and the instructors themselves displayed the efficacy of the tools by the instructors and the coaches and past graduates.
