Group Public Speaking In Person Sessions
Group Public Speaking Sessions coming soon to the Wanstead area (East London). Get in touch here to sign up.
Helping you to fulfil your potential as a public speaker and giving you the tools you need to communicate and express yourself confidently, authentically and powerfully.
Coaching that is still tailored to your individual needs and goals but in a format that gives you the opportunity to practise your skills in front of others, build your communication ability and face your nerves head on in a supportive and focused environment.
In our sessions we will draw on a variety of techniques that will help you fulfil your potential as a public speaker by working both from the outside in, and from the inside out.
Technical Skills
We start off by honing in on and developing the key presentational skills needed to create confident, clear and engaging communication – whether one on one or to a group of people. This includes:
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
What else do we do and what makes our coaching different?
What makes Empowered Expression Coaching different is that we go a lot deeper than just the technical skills. We delve into the importance, and the practise, of real authentic human connection - tapping into the superpower of finding your own unique self-expression and bringing this to your 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.
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 real impact.
Mindset Work
The in-depth work doesn’t stop there. Taking your public speaking ability to the next level also looks like working from the inside out to create real transformational confidence and capitalise on the power of the mind. 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 its impact on you and the intentionality with which 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:
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).
