Virtual Speaker Coaching

Public speaking coaching from the comfort of your own home or office.

Public speaking is scary at the best of times. But when it directly affects your career and your earnings and your future - the pressure is on. That’s why being a good public speaker is one of the most powerful skills you can acquire and the skill that defines leaders and success.

Through my 1:1 personalised, virtual speaker coaching, I can help you become a better communicator, giving you the tools, techniques and confidence to advance your career and tell your story. 

Why work with a virtual speaker coach?

  • At the moment, that’s the only sensible option as we should all be #WFH - working from home.
  • You pick the time. That's the beauty of virtual coaching. We work via Zoom when it suits you. 
  • It doesn’t matter where you live! Over the last 5 years, I have virtually coached people I have never met face to face - in the USA, Canada, Asia, Australia and Africa. These have included scientists, clinicians, academics, startup founders, engineers, CEOs …. and people who have never spoken in public before!
  • You get to stay in your familiar surroundings, at home or in the office, wherever you feel most comfortable and productive.
  • It’s great WFH practice so you can still actively participate in meetings, CFO analyst briefings, client updates, team discussions and Board meetings.
  •  Instead of a single day of coaching that is hard to organise, we can do a series of 90-minute sessions with homework and prep for you in-between.
  • This is tailored coaching for you. Unlike group coaching, the spotlight is all on you. My job is getting you better! This is not an off the shelf course. We focus on your needs and how we can maximise your strengths and minimise your weaknesses. You’re unique and so is the coaching. Why be standard?

MessageCraft® - The art and science behind the Virtual Speaker coaching process

Virtual speaker coaching with my proven 10-step MessageCraft® process is always bespoke and tailored to your needs and abilities.

It's far more flexible and wide-ranging than standard off-the-shelf coaching which focuses only on delivery or what I call StageCraft skills. Standard courses merely put the speaker in front of a camera and critique the negatives – accepting the content and ignoring the style and personality of the deliverer. I help you with your story too! 

So, how does virtual coaching coupled with my proven MessageCraft® process work for you? 

The big event you are preparing for could be an AGM, a big internal comms session, a pending promotion, an interview to become Partner... or to get your first job. 


All of these are different. And you are unique. I don’t do off-the-shelf coaching - no cookie-cutter solutions here. So we work through what you want to say …. and why. What actions do you want to trigger, what behaviour do you want to change?

My 10 step MessageCraft®️ process makes sure you are fully prepared. No event happens in a vacuum - my process takes into account your agenda and history and that of your audience as well as the context and the environment.

There are three essential aspects to speaker coaching whether it’s in person or conducted virtually via Zoom, Google Hangouts or on one of the other platforms. 

My job has three parts:

> Get your head in the right space. 

> Help you identify, distil, articulate and focus your content, your story. 

> Help you tell your story, deliver that content, in the best way.

How much does my virtual speaker coaching cost?

Cost or investment?
Cost is negative, investment is positive.

I don’t do standard speaker coaching.
No standardised One-size-fits-all packages, no 'off the peg' work, just 1:1 tailored virtual speaker coaching, unique to you, your abilities and your circumstances.

There will always be speaker coaches who are cheaper than me. When you go to the dentist or your lawyer - you go to the one who you trust will get you the result you want. Sometimes there is a lot of work and the investment is higher - sometimes there isn’t so much work needed.

The Process & What's Included

  • First, we need to see if we click. I’m joining your team and I need to like you and you need to trust me. 

  • Then we identify what you want to achieve and why. 

  • Then we work on your story using the 10-stage MessageCraft®️ process.

  • Then we rehearse and hone and fix. Camera, lights, action. I call this StageCraft or delivery. It’s an important part - but it is just a part - of storytelling and speaker coaching. Only offering this, and focusing on this, is a sign of an amateur. 

  • You usually get homework. 

  • Then we work to bullet-proof you to eliminate unforced errors and avoid unnecessary questions in the Q&A

  • There’s more involved but you get the idea. Your success ensures mine. So whatever it takes - we can do that!
