EIY Public Speaking

August 1, 2018

After landing in Ho Chi Minh (HCM) City, I immediately looked into the local Toastmasters scene.  There are ~6-7 Clubs in HCM, with 4 of them open to the public.  I connected with them via email or Facebook and made plans to visit ASAP.

One of the Toastmasters Club organizers, Miss Lan Anh Nguyen, replied and invited me to join her Sunday morning EIY Public Speaking meeting.  She started EIY (Earn It Yourself) about 2 years ago, with the goal of empowering and inspiring the youth of Vietnam.

The company has grown and provides a variety of coaching and training services including one-on-one coaching for professionals, corporate classes and workshop series.

My very first EIY meeting, I was asked to be a Speech Evaluator, which I happily agreed to.  The meeting was fun and playful and reminded me of some of the workshops I used to run back in Los Angeles.  

After the meeting, I was offered several job opportunities by Lan Anh to become a teacher, coach and trainer for EIY.  I am now happy to be working with them, for corporate clients such as: Novartis Vietnam (which was awarded one of the Best Places to Work in 2017 by Anphabe)

Yoko is one of the instructors I work with and she is so fun!

Love working with her and all the rest of the crew!

I'm also teaching a variety of workshops based on public speaking, workplace communication and sales.  Here are some pics from courses I've taught!

And here is a recent video from one of our Sunday morning workshops!  I actually was not feeling well this day, but I tried to be as energetic as possible!

If you live in Ho Chi Minh City, come join us for a workshop!  I promise it will be fun and playful!

Feedback from some of my clients:

Nghĩa Lê, President - UTC - UEH ISB Toastmasters Club

“It’s always full of energy to work with one of the most awesome trainers like Matt. My friends and members at Toastmaster Club love him so much (so much that they keep asking me when will be the next Matt Sherwood’s training session). The way he inspires us to come up and make a speech is so unique that it can yield love for public speaking from almost any one. Say no more – as a trainer – Matt is a veteran and a warrior, whom can make others become one like him.”

Alejandra Clarke, Personal Trainer and Blogger - Babes & Weights

“Matt Sherwood is an exceptional communicator. He has a way of being that captures the room and motivates and inspires with his positive energy. I had the pleasure of being part of a public speaking seminar where Matt was the leader and I didn’t want to miss a class, the room was always full when Matt was in leading. Gracias Matt for all the encouragement and motivation!”

Rob Austin, Business Manager - Alkermes

"I owe much of my improvement in my communication skills to Matt.  Prior to working with Matt, the feeling I would get when I knew I had to speak in front of small or large groups was one of anxiety, sweaty palms, a voice that cracked due to nervousness and outright fear.  After working with Matt, I became extremely confident and my employer tells me my speaking and communication skills are unmatched.  He always sought to give me personal feedback on a speech (both verbal and written).  His workshops are fun, engaging and challenging - in a good way!   I highly recommend Matt for anyone who wants to improve their public speaking skills, overall communication skills and their overall self confidence."

Becky Moine, Director of Touring - Live Nation Entertainment

"Matt was very personable and passionate, he took the time to work with each individual to identify his/her goals and create a plan to reaching them.  His workshop was informative and fun, he creates a comfortable environment to practice public speaking in a judgement-free zone.  I would recommend Matt to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, speech preparation and overall confidence. He is a great guy and truly cares about the cause!"

Jennifer Puckett, Social Engagement Manager - The Social Element  

"I have had to give presentations throughout all of my professional life; and while part of the process is very rewarding, it's also been very stressful. Matt's Communication Community workshops were so positive, he really made these classes a safe place to practice and improve your skills in an environment that felt supportive and positive.

In addition I have since been involved in panel discussions and other public speaking events; and have used Matt's techniques to help me manage my stress in a positive way. I've even had some compliments about my work from colleagues!

Whether you have never given a speech before, or present all of the time, I would definitely recommend working with Matt. I can't wait for his next session!"

"We met at Saint Andrews School we were a day previous a trip to represent School in a Model of United Nations. Since that day, what you told us helped me to improve. And i wanted to thank you because you helped me to achieve what I am now. Tomorrow I will present as General Secretary of SASMUN. The Model of united nations of Saint Andrews. So I just wanted to thank you."
