Are your Speaking Skills are up to scratch? Or are they damaging you professionally?
These might seem like strange questions to ask of someone who is at the top of their game (or will be, in less than 5 years). People will expect you’ll be a good communicator and a great speaker. Isn’t that one of the reasons you got to the top? But there’s the rub. So often very gifted and able people are let down by their inability to speak well and communicate their message.
So many talented people fail to fill their full potential because they lack the confidence (or the skills) to communicate with their audience.
Are any of these familiar to you?
- You are in a leadership role; you should inspire, but somehow you are not cutting it
- You hate speaking publically so much that you will do anything to avoid it
- You start to panic the minute you realise that you are going to have to speak – and the panic builds and builds…
- You know in your heart that the ‘guy’ who speaks well is going to get the plum job (and you’re right, he does)
- You are fine 1-1 or in small meetings but it all goes to pot when you have 50 people in front of you let alone 500
- You’ve landed the top job and now you have your first address. People have great expectations of you and it’s imperative that you to do a great job - but you fear you won’t.
If you have said yes to any of the above, then you are certainly not alone. Not by a very long way.
You are in the company of many other highly skilled and gifted people who fall into the same category - fantastic at what they do but are let down when they need to communicate with people.

OK. Let’s clarify what we are talking about here.
Are these your speaking responsibilities?
- presenting to the board and shareholders
- speaking at conferences and conventions
- influencing and inspiring your workforce or teams
- webcasts, telecons, round tables
- hosting your company’s award ceremonies
- high profile or sensitive meetings
...There’s no hiding place for the mediocre speaker today and conversely, there are so many wonderful opportunities to shine and raise your profile, if you’re good.
The good news is that everyone (and I do mean everyone) has the potential to be even better than they think they can be.
And some have the potential to be marvellous speakers – and just don’t know it yet.
For 9 years I have been working as a personal coach to people who have already made it or who are tipped for the top. These people, my clients, come from the corporate world, the financial world, UK government departments, and successful SME’s. And they all had something in common before they worked with me. They had speaking responsibilities that they couldn’t afford to fail at. They knew that there were lasting performance skills out there to be learned – but they hadn’t been exposed to them. They may have had had presentation training in the past – but not the sort of individual, intuitive coaching that I provide that brings out every ounce of their potential.
And whatever the problem, whatever the current skill level of my clients there is ALWAYS a remarkable improvement made and many of my clients have become first rate speakers
I recommend Lyndon wholeheartedly. In a short period of time Lyndon transformed me from a hesitant speaker, filled with anxiety, into a natural, engaging speaker brimming with confidence.”AIG Europe MD
Before Lyndon worked with me I was delivering amateur speeches with amateur content, Lyndon helped me develop my style, delivery and content to become the professional speaker I am today.Ben Way, Serial entrepreneur and professional speaker
I had joined a major company in a senior position and was quickly faced with preparing with one of the company's most important presentations to a critical audience. In such situations you look for someone you can trust and who can help you deliver your messages correctly and with style. Lyndon fulfilled her role brilliantly.
She is clearly very good at helping people but what makes her stand out is her willingness to be honest and direct without you losing the sense that she really is batting in your corner and wants you to do really well.
The key presentation was a major success and I attribute much of that to Lyndon's very special personal and professional qualities.
