One to One Coaching

Confident, Authentic, and Engaging Communication Starts Here

Public speaking can feel daunting, but with the right support, you can turn nerves into confidence. Our coaching creates a safe, relaxed, and enjoyable space to experiment, grow, and develop your communication skills.

How We Help

If you want to navigate professional challenges with confidence, we can help. Through expert coaching, you’ll gain the skills to present with credibility, engage your audience, and manage nerves effectively. Whether you’re preparing for high-stakes meetings, virtual presentations, or everyday interactions, we tailor our coaching to your specific needs.

At Speakeasy Coaching, we assess your strengths and challenges, then build a structured programme to enhance your:
✅ Delivery and timing
✅ Stage presence and confidence
✅ Mindset and content

Why Overcoming Nerves Matters

Many of us experience stress when speaking in public, and that stress can impact decision-making and confidence. Research shows that performance anxiety doesn’t just make us feel nervous—it can actually lower our IQ in the moment. Overcoming this fear benefits not just your professional life but your personal life too.

That’s why we create an environment where you can thrive. Our sessions are supportive, practical, and engaging—with plenty of opportunities to practice and refine your skills. We work hard, but we also believe learning should be enjoyable.

Flexible, Tailored Coaching

✔ Virtual or in-person sessions (location-dependent)
✔ Bespoke coaching plans based on your goals
✔ Practical application—every session includes hands-on practice and feedback
✔ Structured communication—learn to craft messages with clarity and confidence

"I bought a 121 package with Louise with the aim of improving my confidence around public speaking. Booking with an expert was important to me so I would be held accountable to making progress between sessions. By the end, I felt I had an armoury of tactics to use in future talks I give, or even ad-hoc interactions I have at work. I also built-up content blocks over the sessions which I can use as a basis for future talks. I would absolutely recommend Louise to anyone thinking about improving their public speaking skills. She has a wealth of experience which she shares with you in an engaging, informal and, crucially, helpful way. I feel much more confident and have lots of resources I can go back to revise what I learn

'Louise ran a fantastic session for a group of colleagues. The employee feedback was incredible, with every single person asking for further sessions with Louise. Louise curated a thoughtful, engaging, and entertaining session that built confidence in Public Speaking through really enjoyable activities. We will use Louise again!'

Had a coaching session with Louise when she was invited into our EDF offices. She imparted a feeling of enthusiasm to everyone and helped me analyse and understand my own performance in speaking in front of groups. I identified gaps and felt progress in a very short time. Thanks Lou!’

Louise ran one of the HOUR sessions at Brighton Summit Crack on 2019 & got great feedback with people seeing the value of using the preparations and skills needed for doing Stand Up and Presentations to help you and your team talk about your business - whether it's answering the phone or doing a pitch. Louise has lots of ways to help from 121 coaching, for when you have been invite to be a guest speaker, to running a team workshop.

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Louise. We engaged Speakeasy, Louise's company to spend the afternoon with my team in Brighton and to bring them out of their shells. By the end of the afternoon, we had a team of people who not only had a great time but had also surprised themselves. We have seen the results from boosting their ability to speak with confidence to our clients.

I booked on Louise's public speaking session and I had a fantastic time, learning lots of techniques on how to talk in public with confidence. Louise designed some interactive exercises which gave us all the opportunity to practise throughout the day. It was amazing to see how the group's confidence grew as we progressed. Our final task was presenting on a stage with a mike. This was the perfect opportunity to apply what we had learnt in a safe environment. The whole day was fun, informative, and full of laughter. Louise comfortably pushed us out of our comfort zone - in a good way! I would strongly recommend Louise's coaching to anyone looking to improve their public speaking skills and boost their confidence.

I had the total pleasure of enjoying and learning at one of Lou’s bite size learning events with Brighton Chamber and hopefully am slowly putting all the great lessons shared by Lou into how I get my story, passion and my WHY over to an audience in a way that is engaging and real (I’ll have to keep working on the humour as it is accountancy). Lou gives you so much content that you wish you had known previously (30 plus years in my case but oh well !! and will show you a better way than death by PowerPoint. In a world full of info overload basic communication skills are gold dust so whatever you do make sure you invest in a session with Lou to get your message heard and I guarantee you will not regret it.
