Is this for you?

Built for people who think before they speak.

A great fit if you…

  • Know your stuff but go blank when all eyes turn to you
  • Rehearse what to say, then never say it
  • Want a method, not a personality transplant
  • Can give 75 minutes a week for six weeks

Probably not for you if…

  • You want to become a keynote entertainer
  • You're looking for a one-hour quick fix
  • You'd rather not practise in a small group

The 6-week plan

One calm skill a week, practised until it's yours.

Week 1

Name the nerves

What your body is doing, and the two-minute reset that settles it.

Week 2

The 3-sentence opener

A simple frame for starting any update, pitch or answer.

Week 3

Structure on a napkin

Plan a ten-minute talk in ninety seconds of prep.

Week 4

Pauses, not fillers

Use silence on purpose so you sound sure, not stalled.

Week 5

Questions you dread

Buy time gracefully and answer the question behind the question.

Week 6

Your calm talk

Deliver a five-minute talk to the group and get specific feedback.

Questions

Good to know

Do I have to turn my camera on?

For practice rounds, yes, because that's where the change happens. Everything else is up to you.

What if I miss a session?

Every session is recorded, and you can join any practice night to catch up.

Is this therapy?

No. It's practical skills training for everyday speaking situations at work.
