Want to communicate your thoughts confidently,
but feeling held back by anxiety or lack of experience?
It’s time to speak up and stand out in your field,
without nerves or a lack of skills holding you back.
I’ve worked with countless professionals who feel held back by nerves, doubts, or lack of experience.
They speak without conviction, present without personality, and fail to communicate the true value they have to offer.
Or worse still, wait on the side-lines while every opportunity to speak passes them by.
Sound familiar?
Your days of presentation-panic will be a thing of the past.
You’ve got the skills, you’ve got the confidence — and you’re able to lead an audience with words that inspire.
No more will you desperately avoid the spotlight.
No longer will you have sleepless nights before that speech, fearing you’ll forget your lines, or fail to impress.
It’s time to tap into your inner-charisma and realise your full speaking potential, and over the next 10 weeks, we’ll do just that.
Lovely to see you here!
I’m Ed, the public speaking expert who helps you transform your skills and shine in the spotlight.
I know first-hand how challenging it can be to speak in public.
In my 20s, I developed social anxiety which made public speaking my worst nightmare.
It turned what should be an enjoyable experience, into something that left a sickly feeling in my stomach.
I spent years struggling to overcome my fears, but eventually found the confidence to speak on stage to hundreds of people, perform as a professional actor in theatres, and become a Toastmasters President.
Today, I find public speaking a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
As the Head Coach of Project Charisma, I help professionals to achieve the same results… in record time!
They get professional training.
But there’s no ‘secret tricks’ or magic potions.
It’s achieved by following a proven program, guided by an expert who’s walked the walk, who can carefully cultivate your skills.
Whether you’re stepping into a new role, or stepping up on stage, our 1:1 public speaking coaching can fast-track your journey to speaking with clarity, confidence and charisma.
Here’s what’s included…
Struggling to look the part? We’ll transform your body language to convey complete credibility to you audience.
By exploring the psychology behind body-language, and fine-tuning your non-verbal performance, we’ll help you to look and feel more confident.
The voice is your most powerful tool as a speaker, but many people feel their voice lacks authority, and struggles to keep an audience engaged.
We’ll help you eliminate filler-words, avoid the monotone, and master the 5 elements of vocal variety to speak with a dynamic voice.
It’s time to finally ditch those nerves and experience feeling composed in the spotlight.
Through a combination of mindset shifts, therapeutic techniques, and practical skills, we’ll help you relinquish anxiety, and move from self-conscious to self-confident.
The professional world can throw many communication challenges at you: From elavator pitches to podcasts, town halls and team meatings.
We’ll equip you to answer questions, speak off-the-cuff, or “say a few words” when needed. You’ll be ready to communicate with 100% confidence, no matter the situation.
Whether you want to inspire your team, secure a leadership role, or become known, liked & trusted.
We’ll work together to understand your speaking goals, and start taking action. It’s not just about learning the skills, it’s about putting them to use.
Our 1:1 coaching will guide you through the same methods we’ve used to help hundreds of professionals speak up and stand out.
I’ve combined years of experience as a Toastmaster, professional actor, public speaker and communication coach – synthesizing everything into a powerful 12-week training.
Instead of doing it all yourself and doubting if you’re on the right track, you’ll develop as a speaker with complete peace of mind – knowing you’re on the fastest and most effective path to communication confidence.
But let’s be clear… We’ll be working on this together.
You’ll need the commitment to learn, and courage to step beyond your comfort-zone.
