Here's my secret ingredient for confidence when presenting in front of a large or daunting audience. If you are nervous, try the power pose and the power walk. Stand tall and believe in yourself - it makes a difference!

Big love to my co-star Telisha Matthews for this throw-back to a wonderful The Guided Growth Network (C.I.C) event last year.

The Generational Leadership Equation - Speak less, communicate more

I've always been good at connecting with people, so it must come easy right? Nope. But by 2008 I already had a mentor's wisdom in my life for over 30 years, and that level of support and guidance is priceless.

Until her death in 2008 at the ripe old age of 107 Harriet, my Grand mother, matriarch and communication "spirit guide" was always on hand with great stories, emotional support and crucially an unending belief in the power of human connection.

A great listener, she taught me the power of shutting up and listening, and importantly to really HEAR.

I'm not wired that way though - I speak first a lot, often too much when I should really be listening. Sound familiar? If you are an older line leader or senior manager and you are struggling to connect with your junior members of staff, ask yourself - "Am I really listening"?

The shift is slight but crikey it's significant. Harriets words ring in my ears…:"How can you change anything if you aren't willing to listen to start with?" It makes a difference not only to your action going forward, but crucially to how you show-up for you team. Trust me, they'll thank you for it.

Now I am fortunate enough to share this wisdom and more when I speak at event and within businesses, because ultimately if we all want to be better leaders - It starts with listening.

From making an entrance to managing nerves, there is more to public speaking mastery than meets the eye.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to join a Power Presenter Masterclass or Workshop. This video from my recent appearance at the Big Business Breakfast Club - BBBC will gives a sneak peak behind the curtain. It was a rapid fire 10(ish) 😉 minutes of hints, tip and hacks for entrepreneurs, founders and business people on becoming a more confident public speaker.

Being a good presenter isn't about "natural talent" (although that can surely help) It's about showing up in the right way and using the tools you learn to land the message in a compelling and engaging way. I've yet to meet a person who couldn't improve by following some basic steps like those I mention here.

Sales bit: I have a power presenter workshop running on 3rd June - so if you like what you see here, and want an effortless and effective way to improve your public speaking credentials - check it out! www.rhabdomancy.co.uk

Successful business pitching and presenting is about creating a human connection. customers, suppliers and colleagues will rarely do business with individuals they don't trust...Would you?

Poor communication = Lost trust

Many of us fail to appreciate how easily trust can fall short if you cannot confidently communicate about your product or service.

I've delivered Power Presenter workshops for over 2 years now, and [I'm pleased to say] the feedback is always positive.

One course attendde, Matt, sent me this last year:

“Andrew created a really open and supportive environment, which made it easy to get involved and try things out. The RHABDO method was simple, practical, and made a big difference to how I think about structuring a presentation.”

That is exactly what I want for founders and small business owners.
No drama. No gimmicks. Just a clear, repeatable way to:

1️⃣ Deal with nerves.
2️⃣ Organise your thinking.
3️⃣ Sort out your slides
4️⃣ Own your stage
5️⃣ Deliver with more authority and presence.
6️⃣ Land your pitch, and win business

I’m opening a new Power Presenter Academy day in Horsham in June. Small group. One full day. Early booking discounts available for those who jump in first. If you’d like to get in early, reply “academy” below and I’ll send you details.

Do you hate speaking in public?

Many business owners I meet admit they don’t lose work because they are bad at what they do, they lose it because, when the moment comes to talk about their work in a room they struggle.

The voice tightens.
The mind goes blank.
The slides do all the talking (yawn....)

If that feels uncomfortably familiar, you’re not alone. Fear not however as, great public speaking is a skill that can be improved and honed.

I'm excited to share that I’ve been working on something super practical for founders and owners who want to fix this once and for all.

A NEW one-day, small group workshop that focuses on real business presentation skills to elevate your public speaking.

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll share snippedts and will be opening up a handful of early booking spots.

If you’re a founder who secretly dreads “Can you come and present that" then keep an eye out. 👀

Back in February 2025 I had the absolute pleasure to take the Rhabdo method (my training for better public speaking approach) on tour to the mighty New Zealand. This is a chronicle of that epic adventure. Plus you get a sneak-peak of my teaching style.
