"Amazed by Skillsme Academy. Diana [Academy's Founder] is a high-end professional who puts a lot of energy and knowledge into her programmes. I sincerely recommend Skillsme Academy to those who understand that talking using facts and statements alone is not enough to be an effective communicator, especially if you want people to "buy" what you "sell". Skillsme taught me how to become more convincing and achieve desired results as a communicator while still sounding genuine and humane. It was a top level training."

Diana's story
Diana's journey began with shyness and a struggle to express her ideas, particularly in high-stakes situations such as job interviews and sales presentations, where she often left without success. However, after years of dedicated effort to improve her personal communication skills, she not only overcame her challenges but also wanted to share her insights with the world. Her passion led her to deliver a TEDx speech, speak at numerous conferences and establish Skillsme Academy, a pioneering virtual school dedicated to practical communication skill-building rather than just theoretical knowledge.

What happens if I miss a practice session?
You won't miss any theoretical knowledge as you'll have access to video lessons containing the theory that you can watch at your convenience.

Yes, just contact our team after starting the programme.

The practice sessions are held once every two weeks online in real-time on Zoom. Hello Storyteller plan only includes the theoretical part, while Master of Stories and Storyteller Pro include both theory and practice. Students on Elite Storyteller plan may join practice upon request.
