Project Charisma was born from my own struggles with public speaking anxiety.
The shaky hands, the racing heart, the fear of saying the wrong thing – I know what it’s like to dread the spotlight.
But after becoming a Toastmaster, an actor, and a professional speaker, I realised change is possible.
After conquering my own presentation nerves, I set out to help others facing the same challenge.
Since then, Project Charisma has helped hundreds of individuals & teams to find their confidence, and communicate their value.
The problem? 99% of people never get taught how to handle nerves, engage an audience, or deliver a presentation that lands.
As they achieve success in their career or business, the expectations to speak often increase – and with that, so does their feeling of imposter syndrome.
Some people struggle on, trying to mask their lack of confidence, others avoid public speaking all together.
But with the right skills & training, anyone can learn to speak with confidence. At Project Charisma, that’s exactly what we do!
In 2014, we set out to shake up the speaking industry.
Ditching the outdated and stuffy training, for something modern, effective, and actually enjoyable.
Instead of learning by listening, we wanted people to learn through doing; and instead of months or years, we wanted to help people in days and weeks.
Our training continues to evolve, but our mission remains the same:
Helping you to communicate with confidence, credibility, and charisma!
