With Philippa Hammond
Need your teams to speak about your business – but you know they lack the confidence and skills they need to deliver a great message about you and what you do?
They’re scared of public speaking – but you know they need to do it, if you’re going to win those great opportunities for the business?
Ready to build their confidence, enhance personal and professional image and get that memorable message across with style?
Whether they need to speak for leadership, training and business, performance and social occasions, education, employability or as a great new life skill, I can help.
The ancient Greeks knew a thing or two about public speaking. They recognised that an audience needs to like, trust and understand you before they’ll start listening to you.
And they knew about ‘glossophobia, or ‘tongue terror’ – the fear of public speaking.
Me too. I’m standing on stage about three quarters of the way through the first ever performance of my first solo show. And then something terrifying happens. A voice in my head starts saying ‘You can’t do this. You don’t know your lines. They don’t like you.’ I freeze, my mind goes blank – and I walk off stage.
That could have been it for me as an actor. But the next night I went on – and I did it. And the audience came back. And the next year we took the show to Edinburgh, to four star reviews.
I beat the fear – and so can your people.
Now I combine my pro actor / voice artist skills with my corporate learning, development and performance consultancy experience in my Confident Public Speaking and Train the Trainer events.
I’ll share the secrets speakers, actors and trainers have used for centuries to deal with nerves and develop confidence, feel, look and sound better, and craft and deliver a great message about your business to any audience.
Simple, straightforward – anyone can learn, with Speaking Well In Public.
