FAQs - frequently asked questions

1. Will I be the only nervous one on the course? Will everyone else be better than me?
No is the quick answer. Most people on my course don't want to be there! Public speaking is something that lots of people want to avoid so they come on my course with reluctance. The good thing about that is that everybody is the same boat and quite often there is a sense of huge relief that "Its not just me who feels like this". I encourage participants to support each other and very quickly the group becomes a place where people feel encouraged to safely explore what gets in the way for them.

2. Will you fix me?
Again no is the answer. I can't make that promise to fix you - it would be unrealistic. What I promise is that I will do my best - I've got 10 years experience of running this course. What I hope for is that you will see public speaking in a very different light; simpler, far less stressful, and far more possible. And I also offer a course guarantee so if you really don't get what you want from the cousre you get your money back. Only one person in 10 years have asked for their money returned.

3. Do I need to prepare anything?
Guess what? The answer is no again! What you will learn is the real fundamentals of public speaking so that you can be in front of people with ease. So we concentrate on this important stage of speaking so that you will find it a lot easier to be in front of people. If you are more comfortable in front of people then you will have more capability, more potential to be yourself in front of people. Then you have far more options.

4. I am so scared - do I need to book three workshops?
Book one and see if you need to book any more after that. You can always reserve a place and let me know after the workshop. Most people are pleasantly surprised how much they have changed in one day. A few people do one workshop a year just to get a top up but its more because they now love doing the course!

5. I have a huge fear of public speaking - can you help me?
I often get emails like this: " i have great difficulty with public speaking. I have even gone to therapy in a bid to cure this but nothing seems to worked. I feel very anxious, tight chest and short of breath at the mere thought of doing a presentation. Could you help me in any way?"
Yes, what you write about is exactly why I do the work. It is possible to make a huge difference in how we see public speaking even in a day.
