coaching quotes

The session gave me a great insight as to WHY I feel nervous and apprehensive before speaking in front of groups of people.  I learned some excellent quick tips for addressing these nerves and managing them as much as possible.  I look forwards to learning more and practicing some of these in the full one day course.

"Had I not met with John one-to-one, I would never have found the courage to attend a speaking course"
Andrew

I just thought I would share this with you, as I thank you again for the one to one session.
I have just won the short story slam at our local library. Seven people had five minutes to stand up and read a short story out. I entered it  a few months ago but did not get placed. Tonight however, I was able to breath, make eye contact, speak slowly, add facial expression and generally share my story in a much more relaxed and enjoyable manner. And I won! It’s the first competition I have won with my writing and the first cash prize so it is very exciting, and I really do thank you for the techniques you shared with me.
Kind regards Karen

one-to-one coaching

If you can’t make one of my courses or you want to chat in detail before or after a course you may want to consider a 90 minute one-to-one session.

Courses are by far the best way of getting the ideas I teach but a number of people have found it also very helpful to have a one-off 90 minute session to;

•  as a preparation for the course - exploring what gets in the way for you around public speaking.
• to explore other issues around speaking

 

presentation coaching

•  I will help you explore and develop your forthcoming presentations. Especially in emergencies! I'm not always available but if I can help I will.

‘’Facing the rather daunting prospect of delivering a series of key presentations to several large groups which I was quite apprehensive about, my immediate reaction was to talk to John having previously attended one of his excellent public speaking courses.  John listened very carefully to my concerns and was enormously helpful in reinforcing the key messages from the course and provided an amazing insight into the situation I will be managing. He encouraged me to plan my approach in a very different way and has transformed my trepidation into actual enthusiasm! ‘’

Principles of a one-to -one session
My fundamental approach to one-to-one sessions is based on coaching so our work will be based on what you want. If it’s appropriate there will be some input from me about speaking and my approach.
