why i do this work

Are you stopping yourself getting on with life?
Many people on my courses come because they are fed up of being fearful and avoiding opportunities.
I find this incredibly frustrating because I know its very, very possible to get our head around stage fright. Once we can change our thinking around public speaking we can start to build the confidence we need to get on with life. Now that's what I'm passionate about and that's why I do my work. So if you want to change how you feel about public speaking give me a ring or drop me an email

    public speaking courses in Bristol, Bath, London and Manchester

    Would you like to speak in front of a group
    with ease and presence?

    Would you like to change how you feel about public speaking?

    Are you scared of being the centre of attention? Suffer from stage fright?

    Do you want to change your fear of public speaking and be far more comfortable about having everyone's eyes on you?

    Do you want to have more impact and ease around public speaking and presentations? 

    Are you stopping yourself doing things because of this fear?

    In my public speaking course you really CAN change the way you speak and feel in front of people. You can learn how to be more self-confident. And then life can be different. You can get your head around public speaking and then get on with life and the things you want to do.

    It’s not just about formal public speaking or presentations - it could be about being the centre of attention in a meeting or having everyone’s eyes on you at a party. We can learn to be more comfortable and more ourselves even if we have spent years avoiding such situations. Or maybe you run groups but at the end of the day you are really tired - and you want more ease and more mental space when you train.
    This approach makes it possible to be more yourself rather than putting on a persona or staying in fear.  And its also about being passionate, connected, conversational and creative when it comes to business presentations - well on the road to presentation excellence.

    Run by John Dawson

    I’ve been running the public speaking course since 2000 with people at all levels of speaking experience who want to be more comfortable, more themselves and more effective in front of people. I run over 30 courses a year - its my full time job. Public speaking is a series of one-to-one conversations - master that and you can speak with ease in front of any group.
    I am trained to use the work called Speaking Circles® developed by Lee Glickstein. It’s an innovative, warm, and very human approach.
    I have been a Licensed Speaking Circles® facilitator for 11 years and I am the most senior licensed facilitator in the UK. In Feb 2009 I was appointed to the Speaking Circle International Advisory Board to advise on the development of Speaking Circle®. 


    My passion is to help you feel more comfortable or at least more possible for you to take your place in life in front of people.     I've had lots of people who are very nervous change how they see public speaking. And lots of people who have be ok with presentations feel much better. And some people who have made major shifts in their whole lives because they feel liberated from the fear that's been holding them back. For others in a leadership role the ability to be clear, focussed, spontaneous and be in the present when they under pressure has been the important gain.

    I can't guarantee changes but my aim is to serve you as well as I can. Take a look at the quotes from participants below and through the website. They give an indication that it is possible to change something that you have worried about for years in a day. Have a look at the introduction to my work

    feedback and testimonials

     I have been on various public speaking courses in the past and this is the first one that actually helped me relax and enjoy the experience of public speaking. I think the course and the facilitator's approach is excellent. Thank you so much!
