1-1 Public Speaking Coaching

In-person in Manchester & virtual worldwide

What if public speaking could feel easy... even enjoyable?

Nerves, self-doubt, or lack of experience can keep you playing small: avoiding the spotlight, dodging opportunities, or presenting without real impact. 

I know, because in my 20s, I had crippling social anxiety that made speaking my worst nightmare. But I cracked the code, found my confidence, and ended up speaking to audiences for a living.

Now I help ambitious professionals do the same. On the Charismatic Speaker Programme, you’ll transform your confidence, master powerful communication skills, and step up as the authoritative voice in your space.

Public Speaking Coaching Q&A's

What If I’m away for work / on holiday?

We made the programme 6-months to give you ample time & flexibility.

But if you’re away for a few weeks or more, we’ll pause your membership, so you don’t miss out.

Can I pay in instalments?

We take full payment upfront, or arrange a split-payment upon request.

This is half upfront, and half the following month.

Can I continue after 6 months?

Many people wish to continue their training – you’ll have the option to renew for a further 6 months should you wish to.

Q. What happens when I sign up?

We begin with an Onboarding Call to kickstart your training, and welcome you onto the programme.

From there, you’re able to attend all our calls, workshops, and book 1–1 sessions.

Q. How many people will be on the programme?

We keep numbers low to ensure maximum support and time for every member. 

We typically have 10–15 people on the programme, with new people joining each month.

Q. What if I’m REALLY nervous?

We’re experienced working with severely anxious and phobic speakers.

You’ll be learning in a supportive environment where it’s not as scary as you think!
