Dislatensi was founded in 2015 by Dr. Emily Carter, a speech pathologist and communication expert who saw how speech anxiety was limiting the career potential of countless talented professionals.
The name "Dislatensi" combines "discourse" and "eloquence" – reflecting our mission to help individuals master the art of eloquent discourse in any setting.
Starting with just two instructors in a small Toronto office, Dislatensi has grown to become Canada's premier public speaking training company, with clients ranging from Fortune 500 executives to university students and everyone in between.
Today, we're proud to have helped over 5,000 individuals transform their speaking abilities and advance their personal and professional goals through the power of effective communication.
