Achieve your speaking and performance potential with Shauna Macdonald.

Public Speaking Coaching with Shauna Macdonald


My Public Speaking Coaching is all about answering the problem of ‘how can I achieve what I really want to when I speak up?’ Do you often feel that you have ‘survived’ rather than ‘thrived’ when you speak out? I have a passion to help those people whose fear and confusion on how to be heard has held them back.

It’s about what are doing rather than how you are being. I work on transforming how you communicate, whether that is for a presentation, a keynote speech, talking to your team, bossing an interview or even socially, I will give you the tools and tactics that you need to nail any speaking situation. 

My strategy is clear, solid and nurtuting. It's informed by my classical training as an actor, my many years as a teaching artist and artistic director. My approach is creative, fun and delivers real results that are lasting.

Using my
MOTTO Method


If you know what you want but struggle to articulate it or freeze in situations rather than thrive, this method supplies a solid structure for you to feel safe and in control. Speaking up becomes empowering rather than daunting.

I have a created a unique approach and strategy called the MOTTO Method. This method conceptualises and contextualises what the speaking situation is, which helps you to understand your fears and challenges.

Together we unblock your perceived obstacles and focus on how to best transform you into a courageous, creative and dynamic speaker. With solid tools and tactics you will leave my coaching able to support your voice and body and enthral your listeners.

‘I cannot teach you confidence, but if you bring the courage, I can teach you tools and tactics that can turn you into a brilliant speaker.

Knowing these tools and tactics will give you all the confidence you need.’

It’s not WHAT you say
it’s HOW you say it


I explore the natural qualities of your voice, the pitch, pace, pause. Your unique voice is part of your identity, let’s make it part of your power.

I also look at the non-verbal ways of communication and body language.  

Some of the tactics I look at:

  • nerves and how to handle them

  • breathing techniques

  • how to actively listen so you can be spontaneous

  • how to use body language to your advantage

  • finding a creative an engaging way to communicate while staying authentically you
