STRATEGIC SPEAKER COACHING

Become a strong presenter

I refine how the world’s top senior executives speak.

Not because they’re bad at it. Because at their level, the gap between good and exceptional is measured in rooms won, deals closed, and careers defined.

Most people think it’s just speaking.

It isn’t. It’s one of the most technically demanding performance skills and almost nobody treats it that way.

The executives I work with are already accomplished. They’ve earned their seat at the table. What brings them to me is the recognition that how they communicate in that seat – in a board presentation, on a conference stage, in a media interview, or in a company-wide address – is the single variable determining whether they’re simply heard, or genuinely believed.

The detail we work at is elite. Think of it the way a high-performance athlete approaches their craft. Every element is isolated, measured, refined and rebuilt until it becomes instinctive.

What I measure 

Every coaching program includes unlimited access to SpeakerLab, my AI-powered analytics platform, which provides objective data on the elements that separate compelling communicators from forgettable ones.

What We Work On

Pace – How your speaking rhythm builds authority and holds attention. Too fast signals nerves. Too slow loses the room.

Pause – The most underused tool in a high-pressure room. Silence, used deliberately, commands more attention than words.

Conciseness – Saying more with less. The ability to land a point cleanly – without rambling – is the mark of a genuinely confident communicator.

Language – Eliminating filler words, weak hedges, and jargon that quietly undermine your credibility every time you speak.

Tone – How your voice signals authority, warmth, and conviction simultaneously. Tone is what people remember when they’ve forgotten the words.

Fast thinking – Strategies to sharpen real-time thinking under pressure – so you’re never caught off-guard in a Q&A, a boardroom, or a live audience.

Frameworks – Proven structures for public speaking and storytelling that give your ideas a shape audiences can follow, retain, and act on.

Performance reports – Detailed, data-driven reports after every session – so progress is measurable, not just felt. You’ll see exactly where you’ve improved and what’s next.

What the program includes:

Coaching is limited to 10 clients per year. Every program is built around you: your goals, your calendar, and your highest-stakes moments.

  • Deep-dive consulting to identify your specific communication drivers and gaps
  • One to two 60-minute sessions per month over 12 months.
  • Unlimited SpeakerLab access throughout the program
  • On-call availability for impromptu high-stakes engagements
  • Live observation: in person and online
  • Slide design guidance built around your communication strategy
  • A fully flexible structure that accommodates your travel and commitments

The environments we prepare for include board and ASX presentations, TEDx and conference keynotes, company-wide addresses, media appearances, investor pitches, and high-stakes executive conversations.

Who this coaching is for:

Coaching is best suited to people who:

  • Regularly communicate in high-stakes environments
  • Want structured, measurable improvement in their communication
  • Are preparing for an important upcoming presentation or event

If that sounds like you, the next step is simple.

Some communication goals are more personal.

They might involve preparing for a career-defining presentation, a conference keynote, a media appearance, or simply building the confidence to speak clearly and consistently in professional environments.

That’s where my one-to-one coaching comes in.

I work senior executives, founders, conference speakers and high-performing professionals who want to take their communication to an exceptional level.

Because every person communicates differently, each coaching program is fully customised. The process combines live coaching, structured speaking exercises, and analytics through SpeakerLab, my AI-powered platform that measures elements like pace, pauses, storytelling, clarity and filler words.

Coaching places are limited to 10 people per year, allowing me to work closely with each client and tailor the program around their goals and timeline.

What We Work On

Coaching sessions often focus on real-world communication scenarios such as:

  • Conference keynotes and high-stakes presentations
  • Media interviews and panel discussions
  • Board and executive communication
  • Investor pitches and business storytelling
  • Difficult conversations and leadership messaging

The goal is not to turn someone into a “professional speaker.”

The goal is to sharpen your ability to communicate your ideas with clarity, confidence and presence when the moment matters most.

What My Clients Value

Clients who work with me typically value three things:

  • Confidentiality:  many coaching clients are senior executives who prefer their development to remain private.
  • Practical frameworks that can be applied immediately in meetings, presentations and conversations.
  • Data-driven feedback through SpeakerLab analytics, which allows us to measure progress objectively.
