One to One Coaching
Confident, Authentic, and Engaging Communication Starts Here
Public speaking doesn’t have to be a daunting challenge. With the right support, you can turn nerves into confidence and become a skilled, authoritative speaker. At Speakeasy Coaching, we offer tailored, transformative 1:1 coaching to help you speak with authenticity, clarity, and impact.
Whether you’re preparing for an important meeting, a high-stakes presentation, or just aiming to improve your everyday communication, we provide the tools you need to take control of your voice and build confidence.
How We Help
At Speakeasy Coaching, we understand that the thought of public speaking can cause anxiety. But we also know that with the right approach, this fear can be transformed into something empowering. Our tailored coaching programmes focus on improving key areas of your communication skills, such as:
- Delivery and Timing: Learning how to present your message with clarity, precision, and perfect timing.
- Stage Presence and Confidence: Developing a strong, confident presence so you can captivate your audience from the moment you step in front of them.
- Mindset and Content: Shaping a positive mindset and crafting compelling content that resonates with your listeners.
- Engagement and Impact: Mastering techniques for engaging your audience and ensuring your message has a lasting impact.
Through our coaching, you’ll learn how to take command of your communication, presenting yourself as an authoritative figure who can manage nerves and confidently share your message.
Why Overcoming Nerves Matters
Performance anxiety is a common experience for many people. Whether it’s nerves before a big presentation or simply the thought of speaking up in a meeting, anxiety can affect your confidence, focus, and overall effectiveness. In fact, research shows that stress can reduce your cognitive ability—making it harder to think clearly and process information.
But imagine transforming that fear into something positive. Imagine being able to step up to the plate, knowing you can handle anything that comes your way. This is the power of overcoming public speaking nerves.
When you master your nerves, you not only become a better communicator, but you also increase your confidence and decision-making ability. This transformation can positively impact both your professional and personal life, helping you make powerful connections, lead teams with authority, and even manage pressure with ease.
Is 1:1 Coaching Right for You?

It’s designed for individuals who are serious about making a significant transformation in their communication style. We offer flexible coaching options, including virtual and in-person sessions, that cater to your specific needs.
What makes our coaching different?
We don’t just focus on generic advice or “one-size-fits-all” solutions. Instead, we personalise each session based on a thorough understanding of your strengths, challenges, and goals. When you sign up for our coaching, you’ll fill out a detailed welcome assessment form, which allows us to get a deep dive into your needs. From there, we build a bespoke plan that focuses on the areas that matter most to you.
Here’s what you can expect from our coaching:
- Structured Programmes: Every session is designed with a clear focus and outcome in mind, whether it’s perfecting your presentation, mastering Q&A, or improving your overall confidence.
- Practical Application: Every session includes hands-on practice and feedback, allowing you to apply what you’ve learned in real-life situations.
- Pre-Session Preparation: Before every coaching session, you’ll receive prework and tasks to complete. This helps ensure you get the most out of each session and start making progress right away.
- Flexible Scheduling: Sessions are designed to fit around your schedule. Whether you’re balancing work commitments or preparing for a specific event, we ensure that the coaching fits into your life.
- Results-Focused: We focus on creating measurable improvements in your communication skills. Whether you’re preparing for an important speech, handling a tough meeting, or wanting to manage nerves more effectively, we tailor the coaching to deliver those results.
