How Much Does YOUR Career Success Depend On Your Speaking Skills?
If you are a manager, director, or executive, I can help you unlock your full potential as a charismatic, engaging and persuasive public speaker – regardless of your current level of presenting talent.
More than ever, organisations need their top employees to be skilled at holding an audience. Because the right information, delivered with passion and authority can sell not only products, but also ideas - your presentation skills impact upon your business’s bottom line - and everybody knows it…
If you are the kind of speaker that people enjoy listening to, all kinds of doors naturally swing open in your career. That’s why executives, directors and managers from the UK’s top organisations come to me for expert support in improving, and ultimately mastering, this essential skill -
- Would you like finally to conquer your nerves, and become a truly confident speaker?
- Would you like a dramatic increase in your level of influence; both in meetings, in the boardroom, on the podium, and in your day-to-day life?
- Are you looking for that elusive “edge” you need to land that next promotion, or succeed in a forthcoming job interview?
- Are you tired of your input being side-lined in meetings, because you can’t quite seem to assert yourself and get your message across?
- Are you noticing less capable candidates being promoted ahead of you, simply because they present themselves more effectively?
- Do you have a nagging suspicion that the way you come across is putting “the dampeners” on your career?
- Is there an increasing pressure to stand up and represent, or even lead, within your organisation?
I’m sure you’ve seen many skilful speakers at work...
Have you noticed that they are somehow able to effortlessly “sway” an audience in a way that’s articulate, persuasive, and conveys all of the richness of their personality?
Perhaps you’ve wondered if they were born with this level of charisma?
Some are… but I’m here to tell you that, with a little investment of time and energy, this is a skill-set that YOU can learn and master.
During my eight years as a personal impact coach, I’ve demonstrated that everyone has the potential to make huge improvements in their speaking ability; but not just this – I’ve discovered that almost everyone has the potential to become a first-rate speaker – someone who presents with clarity, energy, individuality and ease.
The beauty of my method is that it isn’t about turning you into something that you are not. On the contrary, my approach is to tap into the very best of your natural character and bring it centre stage – so it will always be you speaking - and not a manufactured personality that your colleagues will struggle to recognise.
All speakers (and audiences) are looking for that elusive “Wow Factor”, but I’ll show you that the true secret of great presenting is not what you might expect...
In just a few short sessions, you’ll master all of the practical skills and techniques of competent presenting, but to shape you into a truly memorable speaker, we’ll focus on developing and showcasing the distinctive qualities of your natural personality. I’ll show you how to play to your unique strengths, and give you the courage, self belief and practical ‘know how’ you need to be successful…
Do any of the following sound familiar?
- Do you suffer from anxiety attacks when called upon to speak? In public presenting, the first few steps are always the hardest… But even if you are currently avoiding public speaking like the plague – in just one session – I can teach you practical skills for controlling your nerves and finding a calm centre under pressure. With my help, you’ll soon be on the road to becoming a relaxed and confident speaker.
- If your self-belief has taken a knock from a negative experience, or if you are looking to sharpen up (or deepen) your existing presentation skills, I can help you to build your confidence, troubleshoot your approach, and find your unique style. You’ll discover that just a few short sessions can make an enormous difference to the way you’re perceived…
- If you feel that you are already a capable speaker, but are looking to maximise every ounce of your talent, I can help you make the smooth transition from being a “good speaker” to becoming a “great speaker”.
The most important thing to me is that you leave our sessions knowing that you LOOK confident, SOUND confident, and that you can replicate this mental state at the drop of a hat.
I’ll make sure that you finish our time together fully in-touch with your unique style of presenting!

At the core of my work is the belief that we are all born with a natural ability to communicate directly and vibrantly. However, as we develop, life takes over and our voices are gradually re-shaped by all manner of influences; such as, our upbringing, schooling, family, and peer groups.
We all make subtle changes in order to “fit in”, but the result is that many of us are left with a voice that is unable to carry our real personality – a voice that doesn’t truly represent who we are…
However, as you learn to free your voice and as you start to express your conviction, passion and sheer individuality – almost immediately – your personal magnetism will begin to shine through. Not only will people instantly find you more interesting and compelling to listen to - you’ll also find that your ability to persuade, influence and motivate will be dramatically amplified.
Unlike many coaches who try to squeeze their clients into a fixed blueprint - I teach exclusively from my own personal experience and each of my clients is coached as an individual.
I know how it feels to be in the spotlight – and I know how it feels to be judged by every single performance. And most importantly, I can show you how to overcome your fears so that your audience will naturally perceive you in the way you need to be perceived.
My goal is to create an encouraging, supportive and powerful learning experience that’s tailor-made to suit your unique circumstances.
