A few words on fear

As a speaker coach, I believe that what we resist persists. So, I focus on uncovering the obstacles that prevent you from expressing yourself effortlessly. By addressing personal, professional, and even emotional blocks, we engage in meaningful work to overcome our limitations and be heard. Using an inside-out approach, I guide you in exploring fears, weaknesses, and practical delivery techniques, while providing non-judgmental support for your personal growth.

Fear

Tells us not to take risks. Risks equal vulnerability. Evolutionarily speaking, that equals death. No wonder we’re terrified of it. I’m down for jumping in and helping you feel that fear and do it anyway. Whatever is is you’re afraid of.

Fear

We’ll make a fool of ourselves? Look stupid? Or lose face! Take a look around my website, you’ll discover I am quite fond of the vulnerability of looking like an idiot. I think our fear of this is fear of what other people think of us, once investigated we’ll discover that’s not something we want to live our lives running from.

Fear

Of success. I firmly believe we’re far more terrified of succeeding than we are of failing. Taking the risk might get you exactly what you want, which means you can’t kid yourself anymore with the “one day I will be…” fantasy. Scary. Living in that miserable trance of relegating things to the future is ending for you. Now. Let me gently guide you along another path.

Group Training

I’ve created a practical and playful training that explores the mechanics of writing a great speech. It offers a dynamic blend of “sitting down writing” and “on your feet” speaking exercises. Participants leave with a toolbox of skills they can use to create a speech unique to their personality and objectives. I like to make this bespoke to each setting, but to give an insight it is aimed at a group of approximately eight delegates. And, of course, is now available on Zoom. Details below.

Writing in Action

Available in one-day and half-day formats.

You can tell a great speaker by how their speech is crafted to prioritise connection and rapport with their audience. This workshop focuses on that. It does so by exploring the foundations needed to structure a compelling story. It then looks at language and wordplay as the icing on the cake to have fun and entertain an audience. Participants explore how to craft words and phrases that are written with inherent action, and create speeches that are purpose-built to impact an audience. This training is available in a number of ways. You can pick the one that will optimally answer your business need and objectives.

I’d recommend this training is split over two days if you would like to include a ‘delivery’ module. This enables participants to complete writing tasks and develop their speech between sessions.

Imagineers

Participants will be tasked at the start of the day with a specific purpose, and then spend the day creating a speech to suit that need. The company may provide examples in advance.
Originals

Participants spend the day working towards creating a speech specific to their current objectives.
Explorers

Participants explore speeches from classical texts to contemporary corporate speeches, with writing exercises along the way for practical application.

Let’s create something together.
