Do you want to have more impact and ease around public speaking and presentations?
In a day workshop or four evenings you CAN change the way you speak and feel in front of people.
don't get tied up when you speak
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.
Strange but true - find out one of the big secrets of public speaking!
John Dawson
I’ve been running the 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. 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 nine years and I am the only 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 feel more comforatable being doing presentations now. Your course was the only public speaking course where you actually practise being the centre of attention as opposed to the technical aspects of presentations.
