Our Story

Founded in 2018, Thermal Burst emerged from a simple yet powerful observation: many talented Australians were being held back by their fear of public speaking. Our founders, experienced communication professionals, recognized the need for a specialized training program that addressed the unique challenges faced by Australian speakers.

Since our inception, we've helped over 5,000 individuals across Australia overcome their speaking anxiety and develop the confidence to communicate effectively in any situation. Our evidence-based approach combines traditional presentation skills with modern neuroscience research to create lasting change.

Our Mission

To transform the way Australians communicate by providing world-class public speaking training that builds confidence, develops skills, and creates lasting impact in both personal and professional contexts.
