Public Speaking coaching
Transform how you communicate- from barley surviving to daring and thriving.
Do you dread speaking up? Does standing centre stage in front of strangers, even peers, feed all your worst fears? Do you know your subject inside out but an impending presentation leaves you thinking ‘just get through this’, on a loop?
Imagine you could stride confidently up to that podium and speak, holding the room in the palm of your hands, then step down feeling that you nailed it!
What’s stopping you isn’t an insurmountable barrier. I am here to guide you through it.
I offer public speaking coaching for creative, thoughtful people who know what they want to say but don’t always know how to say it. People like you.
If fear, confusion or self doubt have held you back, then this service is for you. My nurture led approach will have you speaking with clarity, confidence and presence.
Whether you are preparing for a presentation, pitching a project, leading a team, or just want to bring your whole self with you to social settings, I can help. Stop being scared. Let’s get you there.
Using my
MOTTO Method
My MOTTO Method delivers a structure and scaffolding to hold you up and let you shine.
If you freeze, stumble, or shrink in high- stakes situations this toolkit is for you.
Let’s break down what’s really happening when you speak and help you understand your reactions, so you can overcome fear and find your voice.
You wouldn’t expect to hold your own in a martial arts tournament without having invested some time in learning the moves.
Being good at something requires study and practice. But we’re often quick to dismiss public speaking as “something we’re not good at” without taking any time to learn the basic skills that make a compelling talk flow.
As adults, many of us find ourselves in a professional position that requires great communication abilities. However, through no fault of our own, we seem to have skipped that part of life where someone shows you how to do it!
My signature framework helps you find a calm centre and provides the tools to thrive under pressure.
I can’t teach you confidence but if you show up with courage I’ll give you tools and tactics you need to become a brilliant speaker.
When you find your voice, confidence inevitably flows.
What we’ll work on
Understanding and handling nerves
Breathing techniques for calm and clarity
Active listening and staying spontaneous
Body language and non- verbal presence
We’ll explore your natural tone, pitch, pace and pause to find what’s compelling about how you speak.
I’ll share the practical tools I’ve created over decades of experience on stage and screen to find a creative, engaging style that’s authentically you.
Your voice is your identity- let’s make it part of your power.
