in-house courses

Natural Public Speaking

I  run a course called "natural public speaking" for organisations, which is about what gets in the way for public speakers and how we can re-think public speaking to make it simpler, more possible and of course more natural.

Natural Public Speaking

The course is suitable for;
• people who want to get better at public speaking
• people who are fed up with stage fright
• People who want to connect more with the audience with ease

Introduction
We often put huge pressures on ourselves when we do public speaking.
Wouldn't it be good if being the centre of attention was simpler, straightforward and more natural?
This course helps you to re-think public speaking and to explore the fundamental skills we need to speak in front of an audience with ease. Learn these  simple skills and you can change your relationship with audiences. Learn how to connect with ease and move away from performance, or gripping a shaking script!

The course is experiential, supportive and more fun that it sounds.

people coming from your organisation

Sometimes people feel more at ease having some training away from the organisation.
So people come on my public courses and I invoice your organisation.
Various organisations send me 4 or 6 people a year.
If you want to arrange this kind of provision for your organisation please contact me to discuss the different options.

participant's quotes and organisational feedback

Everyone really enjoyed the session. What made it particularly interesting was that it was based on how to be yourself when presenting. Not what you should be.
Your style was really welcoming and inclusive and I know that all in attendance really enjoyed the day, once again many thanks.

A big thank you again for running the training for the young people. I think the concept worked really well for them and certainly helped in building up more confidence. I was impressed with the changes I saw.
I certainly think you should do this again for young people..

John is the most incredible bloke: relaxed, chirpy and funny, and he's one of the regions warmest, most engaging and enjoyable speakers.
