It can feel like confident people are just made that way.
It can feel like powerful speakers who stand out and become thought-leaders have a special talent or gift.
I know that's not true.
Impactful, persuasive speaking is a learned skill like any other.
Self-belief and gravitas can be nurtured and developed.
You can choose to speak up, to stand out, and to shine.

My Story
I’ve been lucky to work as a TV news anchor and reporter for some of the world’s most respected broadcasters, from BBC News in the UK to NBC news in the USA.
When I was at the height of my presenting career - anchoring my own news show five nights a week - I was suddenly hit by stage fright. It felt like it came on very suddenly, but in retrospect I see my nerves had been building for years.
My fear became so acute that I considered giving up my career to save my sanity, though I knew I didn’t want to.
Happily, I found a way to manage my nerves and speak confidently. In doing so, I realised lots of other people felt like I had - nervous about speaking up in public - and it limits them.
I've now helped hundreds of clients learn to speak persuasively and confidently - no matter the audience.
They learn concrete, repeatable processes and techniques that I've developed over thousands of hours of broadcasting and which they can apply to their speaking - to turn even the most complex information into a clear, engaging message that motivates and inspires.
Clients have gone on to progress in their careers, win business, change minds and position themselves as thought-leaders. Some have spoken on international stages such as at the UN or TED conferences.
I love helping people become the best speakers they can be - getting across what they want to say. Witnessing that eureka moment when the person on stage starts to enjoy their performance and the audience is enthralled.
