About Us - Our Story & Expert Teachers

Our Story

Founded in 2015, Pilleistru emerged from a simple yet powerful observation: most people possess brilliant ideas but struggle to communicate them effectively. Our founders, experienced public speakers and communication experts, recognized the critical need for accessible, high-quality public speaking training in Australia.

What started as a small workshop in Sydney has grown into Australia's most trusted public speaking institute, with programs that have transformed the lives and careers of thousands of individuals across the continent.

We believe that effective communication is not a talent reserved for the few, but a skill that can be learned, refined, and mastered by anyone willing to practice and grow.
