Discover how to speak in public without crapping yourself…
“Put simply.... the guy is a wizard when it comes to helping people see things differently.”
“Dave has genuinely transformed my life in a way no self-help book ever has. This wasn’t theory or motivation — it was real, practical change that stuck.”
Want to speak with real confidence, not just better technique? Most speaker coaches jump straight to the how - your posture, your hands, your slides.
I start somewhere different: you.
We bring together who you are, what your content is and who you want to speak to. Get that right and technique is much easier to work out.
My clients report an average 76% increase in confidence.
Many speaker coaches will tell you how to own a stage. Not many of them are actually on one.
(That does my nut more than you can imagine)
Me? I coach and I speak on stages.
Two TEDx talks, events for the NHS, Royal College of Podiatry, Circle Networks and more, plus hosting gigs like the Worcestershire Tourism Awards and the Rick Mayall comedy festival.
Everything I teach, I use myself, in front of real audiences. If you want to see what that looks like, or you're after a speaker for your own event, this is the place to start.
Sometimes the best way to build confidence is in a room with other people doing the same work. My workshops run for teams and organisations wanting to level up their speaking and presentation skills together, and for individual business owners who want to speak about their business with confidence, whether that's a sixty second pitch, a talk at an event or showing up well on video.
Practical, hands on, fun and guided by you.
“Dave creates a space where you feel at ease straight away. He is supportive, funny and knows how to bring the best out of people.
What really stood out was the focus on intentional authenticity and using your own voice with clarity and confidence. The strategies were simple, practical and immediately usable.”
“Highly Recommend Dave if your in the business of wanting to become better at speaking, holding peoples attention, and connecting with an audience irrespective of your message.”
I didn't start out as a speaker coach. I spent years in healthcare, first as a nurse, then as a podiatrist, so a lot of my early career was spent helping people feel comfortable talking about things that are hard to talk about. Somewhere along the way I picked up a postgraduate certificate in mindfulness, co-founded a men's meditation group, and started doing stand-up comedy, which will either make sense to you or sound like a strange combination. Turns out it's not.
All of that feeds into how I coach. I'm less interested in polishing your delivery and more interested in helping you find your voice and use it, without losing yourself in the process. I've done this on the TEDx stage twice, and off it more times than I can count, for the NHS, for conferences, for rooms full of people who'd rather be anywhere else than public speaking.
If you want to speak with real confidence, not just better technique, I'd love to help.
*not real magic, obviously.
