Humanity has been telling stories since we first gathered around the campfire, but if you’ve not been taught how to tell a tale, you’re likely missing out on making incredibly valuable human connections. This oral tradition also means you’re twenty times more likely to remember a story than you are a simple fact. But, if you’re only presenting in bullet points, this means you’re twenty times more likely to be forgotten! However, if you can tell a story, people will find you more charismatic, confident, persuasive and memorable.
In this course you will learn:
Is your voice sabotaging your first impressions by being weak, croaky or nasal? Do you find your voice hurts after a short speech, or perhaps people are people constantly asking you to slow down or speak up? Or perhaps you simply dislike the sound of your voice and want to learn to change it. If so, consider this: all voices work on air, so to change your voice, you simply need to learn how to use that air a little better!
As a voice actor and documentary narrator I’ve leant my voice to companies all around the world for over a decade. I’ve also written a global best selling book on the topic of vocal development, meaning your voice lessons will be in expert hands. No matter what you want to do to improve your voice, I’d be happy to show you how.
During a voice coaching session we can cover topics such as:
The difference between a leader and a follower is vision. No leader ever needs to ask where they are going, but every leader should listen to ensure their followers know the end goal. But, if you don’t have a vision for the future or understand the vision of your superiors, you’re going to struggle to get anywhere. Likewise, even if you have a vision but can’t communicate it using the language of leadership, people are not going to follow you.
Leadership has changed over the years, whereas once leaders were expected to bark orders and followers were expected to obey them without question, the modern workforce requires a sound leader to have emotional intelligence, persuasiveness and decisiveness.
If you find you’re lacking in vision, if your team are not following your lead or you simply want to improve your leadership skills and ability to manage people, in this three week course you’ll learn:
Are you looking to improve your confidence on camera to command respect in any situation, even if you’re trembling inside?

In this three week course you will learn:
There is no more universally felt fear than that of public speaking, second only to death itself. This means at a funeral most would rather be the body in the casket rather than the speaker giving the eulogy. For over a thousand years, great speakers have shared their fears of speaking in public. Even during the golden age of public speaking, a pencil scrawl written by a man sentenced to be hanged read “I would rather face the gallows than speak to the crowd before it”.
Whether you’re saying “Hello” on a zoom call or standing up for a simple meeting, if you find you’re trembling before an audience in person or remote, big or small, in this one-off course you will learn:
This course also comes with an optional bespoke report which outlines your current strengths, weaknesses and exercises for home practice.
All great speakers were once bad speakers and no baby was ever born knowing how to rally a crowd. Public speaking is therefore a learnable skill. But, do you feel nervous when speaking in public? Do you want to improve your confidence to deliver persuasive presentations? Or is your career being hindered by a lack of public speaking skills?

Created by combining the best ideas from over three-hundred works on public speaking from the ancient to modern age, this course is truly comprehensive to your needs.
