As a young actress in both New Zealand and Australia, I was often sick to my stomach with nerves. I was in good company. Many actors - Stephen Fry, Jeff Bridges, Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, Scarlet Johanssen - have suffered from stage fright.

In our work with both corporations and individuals we have found most people find public speaking one of their greatest challenges. This is true whether giving presentations, making a pitch, holding meetings with clients or staff or talking to the media. To see people gain the confidence to enjoy - yes enjoy - speaking in public is enormously rewarding for them and for us. Motivation is key.

The following video outlines what I can do for you in helping you to learn to enjoy public speaking.
We are able to offer remote coaching for those unable to attend our premises or when we can not meet.
This is also ideal for clients outside of Auckland.
We use "Zoom" to conduct these public speaking coaching sessions, giving one on one sessions when we can not meet at the same premises.
