Public Speaking Sessions 1:1 Online
Helping you to fulfil your potential as a public speaker and giving you the tools you need to communicate and express yourself authentically and powerfully.
Technical Skills
There are a lot of coaching options out there that help you to learn the technical skills needed in order to communicate at a high level :
- Voice technique (breath support, projection, clarity of speech)
- Physical presence (posture, grounding, and body language)
-Delivery techniques (pacing, pause, vocal variety, audience engagement)
-Confidence tools (managing nerves and presenting with authority)
These are all elements that I include in my coaching because it is of course extremely important to have access to and have proficiency in the technical and presentational skills that aid powerful communication.
What makes my coaching different?
However, the part of my approach which makes my coaching different is the importance placed on tapping and delving into your unique self-expression and how you can bring that to your communication and public speaking.
Because yes - people respond to confident, self-assured and authoritative energy, so cultivating the ability to present as this is very important. But what creates the differentiation of the best of the best are those who can also bring to the table: a humanness - heart, a sense of authenticity in how they express themselves – regardless of what it is that is needing to be communicated. And that’s where Empowered Expression Coaching is different.
I want you to embrace what makes you unique and then bring this into your communication and public speaking.
Great public speaking isn’t about learning to be a perfectly polished robot who can simply reel off streams of information effectively and confidently - completely unfazed by nerves or human imperfection.
Great public speaking and communication is about connection. Connection with your audience and connection with what you are saying. The more rooted in authenticity your connection is, the more likely you are to really engage your audience.
When you tie the technical skills needed to present as confident, authoritative, engaging and proficient together with the sharing of your humanness and unique self-expression, this is how you create a truly powerful impact.
It’s also how you handle nerves and slip ups (we all have them!), because you don’t you need to be perfect. The goal is to get to a place where you have acquired an array of tools in your ‘public speaking tool belt’ that allow to you to navigate through the challenges of public speaking with confidence and presence. By doing this you learn how to keeping the flow and message of your speech in tact, whilst also allowing your humanness and unique self expression to shine through and be used as a superpower to help you connect you with your audience, not something that is holding you back.
Mindset Work
The use of mindset work and mindset tools are a big part of my approach because the mind can be a powerful ally or it can be a powerful enemy – it’s all about the awareness you have of it’s impact on you and the intentionality with which you programme your mind for success. Examples of mindset tools we use are:
- Identifying blocks and limiting beliefs about yourself in relation to public speaking that may be holding you back and creating fear and a lack of confidence
-Creating a new belief system that fosters the public speaker / communicator you want to (and have the potential) to be - through subconscious mind rewiring practises such as meditation, affirmations & visualization
-Using visualization (mental rehearsal) as a powerful tool to prep your mind and body for successful execution and the managing of nerves
We work with your nerves, not against them. We look at effective ways of managing nerves rather than simply trying to get rid of them.
Additionally, we draw on acting and improv based exercises and skills to also help you to:
Be present and think on your feet with improvisation skills
Communicate clearly under pressure
Build up a resilience to ‘messing up’ and how to handle it
Master the art of embodying the ‘persona’ of your most confident self
(^ So that you have the option to ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ should you need to whilst going through the transformational self-expression and mind set work that will help you build true confidence from within over time).
How does this work all tie together?
In essence, my coaching revolves around the magical combination of creating skills from the outside in, balanced with creating confidence and an identity shift from the inside out. You don’t have to feel 100% confident to show up powerfully — you just need to start with learning the skills that help you present as confident and engaging, bringing your humanness and unique sense of self expression to the table.
By also learning how to embody the persona of your most confident self through various exercises and techniques- you can step into showing up as that version of you even if you don’t 100% feel that way in every moment. Over time, the more you practise embodying that energy, alongside changing your self perception + rewiring your belief system to support it, the more it becomes your true, integrated state.
