The best way to get started on your speaking journey is to nab just 15 minutes of my time.
Stage Fright Got The Best Of You?
Your Coach In A Nutshell
In 2010 I set out to learn public speaking to promote a book I wrote.
I interviewed professional speakers like Joe Roberts (Skid Row to CEO), and attended courses.
My speaking skills improved rapidly and I helped Air Cadet Squadron 777 clean up the awards at their national speaking competition three years on a row. Through Toastmasters International I worked with many other groups like the RCMP and CNIB. I was awarded Distinguished Toastmasters in 2019.
I turned my hobby into a business. I created a master speaking program, and I've had the pleasure of working with over 1,000 students from around the world, along with corporate clients like Cowell Auto Group, and private clients including entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and upper management.
My success as a trainer comes down to 3 things:
-
Structure (speech structure & poise)
-
I highlight your speaking strengths
-
I make the journey fun
Interesting fact: I still haven't published that book I set out to promote.
I guess publishing book fright got the best of me.
We all have things to work on. I don't specialize in writing best sellers. I specialize in speaker training and have two books on speaking if you'd like to read them.
Here's How I Can Help:
PROFESSIONALS
You want to dominate your industry. I get it, I want to dominate my industry. Heck, I want to be the best speaker coach on the planet.
In order to achieve my goal I either want you to run the company you work for, or make a million dollars in speaker fees.
Which one is it?
STUDENTS
I've trained students in Australia, Brazil, China, and all over North America. Students mainly come to me through referrals.
I'm honestly not focusing on students; but, I'll train a group of motivated students, and I have private clients with bearded dragons, and I do have groups running online.
SPEAKING
I've been speaking seriously since 2010 and professionally since 2019.
One thing I'm known for is audience participation.
I was told by one organizer that some presentations are great at the time, but you forget about them quickly; on the other hand, she'll remember my presentation (in her words) possibly forever.
I know, it was shocking for me to hear that too. I asked her if I could get that in writing.

I know it's mind blowing, but people actually Google "how to describe themselves in three words."
