Even the thought of public speaking had made me cringe since my epic fail at senior school. But Kola gives you practical tips and structure for speeches in a relatable and natural way. He makes me feel like I can really do it - a good 30 years later. I love his approach and I am happily skipping...Read full review »

I heard Kola on the Pat Flynn show and was really impressed with his style and observations. I though I’d give his podcast a try and I’m glad I did. Down to earth but really spot on advice, and I love his dad at the beginning 😁

I have really enjoyed a few episodes “and” the episodes with the communication tips! I would love to hear more of this since. I work with sales and this definitely will give me an extra boost of confidence knowing some of this knowledge! Looking forward to more!

Kola’s podcast is helpful, engaging, relevant and just hits the nail on the head. His style is...Read full review »

Kola what a great podcast! It was smooth and easy to digest and, could no doubt be compared to some fine wine!! I thoroughly enjoyed the content. As an international educator and speaker and as an African Jamaican woman who has lived, worked and spoken at events in the UK, Malaysia, Ghana,...Read full review »

I have the attention span of a squirrel and I actually managed to listen to a whole podcast and actually use it during my working day..... Kola simplistically analyses human communication which took the sting out of my fear of larger audiences. Can’t wait for the next episode

I enjoy listening to this podcast in the evenings So I can feel good about myself in the mornings. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who is or wants to be a leader, lecturer or CEO.

I'm enjoying Kola's relaxed and fun delivery style. From the funky intro music to the humorous anecdotes, this show is the no-pressure way to get comfortable with public speaking. Keep up the good work!Read full review »

This guy is authentic !!! There are many podcasts out there, but when you find one like this, where you can notice the passion that he does, that makes a big difference ... you learn a lot in a simple and very enjoyable way! Many thanks, Kola.

Great podcast Kola. “Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.” Not saying I am great, but this is a great use of my time; I look forward to every episode and take something away from each of them. Very insightful and gets you thinking. Highly recommended.

Hi Kola. Really loving these podcasts. Please more Mary Poppins tunes too. The humour topic was really helpful as I struggle with this when giving legal seminars as they are a tough audience. Thank you for delivering really down to earth, friendly and realistic advice. You are perfect at this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series of podcasts albeit surprisingly as I hadn’t initially thought I would have enough to connect with on the topic of speeches and all that they entail. A most fascinating and insightful perspective on something we almost take for granted ... ! Charitable nuggets from...Read full review »

Excellent podcast very intriguing.

I’ve known Kola as a work colleague and a friend, and it’s safe to say he really knows his stuff when it comes to this field!! I’ve learned a ton from his advice on public speaking which has helped me deliver when taking the stage to speak in front of a crowd. Ton of value to learn in this...Read full review »

It seems that you are not wanting to edit your podcast but honestly less is more especially in terms of structure. Some of it is really interesting but on the whole too long and too rambling in style which can put us off listening. Love the jingle though.. especially your Dad!
SuzBarratt via Apple Podcasts · France · 03/25/19
Kolarele you are truly an inspiration. Your podcasts are brilliant. You have helped shape my public speaking by sharing your own experiences, and speaking from the heart. Through you I have learnt the art of storytelling. This week I delivered speech to an audience of a 150 people with...Read full review »

I’m impressed. Not surprised though. You’ve got the gift and it’s good to see you sharing it with the world. Keep it up star.

Lots of good, thought-provoking stuff in your charisma ep. Are people ‘born’ with it? I suspect not, although I imagine that some people are more motivated by the advantages it conveys and more inclined to cultivate it. An interesting case study in the UK is Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. He is...Read full review »

I especially enjoyed the relaxed approach of this podcast, it makes you feeel as though Kola were chatting casually by your side in a cafe - this makes you feel at ease and uplifted somewhat. I found the content to be brilliantly thought out, well organised and offering practical how-to's...Read full review »

Top top messages in here. Great for helping you lift your head out of the sand, as we all get stuck in the busyness of life. This makes me step back and really think “what can I do differently” to be a success at what I do!

What a breath of fresh air listening to Kolarele. Sounds original and I love the idea of creating in 1 take despite any mistakes made. That’s the real world. I will keep listening to keep learning from the master of public speaking.

Great podcast. Took a little to get started but when it did I was actually hooked. The references you have was good as well. I always tell people about the power of showing interest in people and I’m hoping for my charisma to take me far in my path to success. You mentioned Michelle Obama, I...Read full review »
