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?

1:1 coaching at Speakeasy Coaching is ideal for those who want a tailored approach to improving their public speaking skills. 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.

Client Feedback

I bought coaching sessions 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 to revise what I learnt.

Alex Wood, Director Customer Insights, Brandwatch

Louise is a fantastic coach who has helped me greatly in public speaking and getting ready for pitching. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She listens to your concerns, asks for feedback, follows up with resources and allows you to get the most out of your sessions. 10/10

Caroline Morton, entrepreneur

I was lucky enough to attend Louise’s Public Speaking course with Brighton Chamber. It was a practical course where I learnt great techniques for future speaking opportunities. I now feel more confident about speaking in public.  My confidence grew week on week and the other course attendees are awesome. Excellent experience.

 

Andrew Thomas,  CEO Reborn

I had a 1:1 package with Louise to help make some marketing content less “meh.” She was super knowledgeable, broke down my presentation really quickly and came up with a handful of tips that made the world of difference. Not just a great talent, but able to teach that talent to others as well. Definitely recommended.

 

Stephen Pratley, CEO, The Conversion Co.

I had some public speaking 121 coaching to help me with my father of the bride speech. It was a riot. My speech went down a treat. Thank you Louise.

Andrew MacFadyen, Partner Dean Wilson LLP

Corrina Taylor 5

I remember it was such an intense week before the day of my Ted talk. I pretty much had to re-write it 5 days before I did it and you really helped me to structure it and give me some comical gems, as well as confidence! Very grateful for the things I’ve learnt from you. Found the 121 coaching invaluable because I had a specific deadline with the Ted talk. Loved working with you Louise!

Jim Cunliffe 6

This is the BEST course I have ever done… I learnt how to write, deliver and prepare. I run a business, and often have to stand up in front of large groups, and present. In recent years, my confidence had waned, and I found myself often winging it, not really making the most of the opportunity. The coaching has taught me to prepare, taught me to gain audience attention, know when I have that attention, and roll with it. It has totally changed my presentation delivery, and preparation – It’s BRILLIANT. I would recommend the coaching to anyone who has to present to groups, in their typical day to day working life. A worthwhile investment for any company. If you need a real life testimonial, call me up. Thank you Louise, you are brilliant.
