Our Story

Founded in 2018, Silent Foxtrot emerged from a simple yet powerful vision: to help every Australian overcome their fear of public speaking and unlock their full communication potential.

Our founder, Michael Thompson, recognized that despite Australia's vibrant business landscape, many talented professionals were held back by communication anxiety. After years of corporate training and personal coaching, he established Silent Foxtrot to provide accessible, effective public speaking training across the continent.

Today, we've trained over 5,000 students from Perth to Brisbane, helping them build confidence, advance their careers, and make meaningful connections through powerful communication.
