The greatest lie of public speaking… loudest is better.

We’ve all been tricked into believing the power is in being the biggest voice in the room

But as Prince William said, some of the strongest leaders are the quiet ones. Calm, steady, with a quiet steel that makes people lean in. That’s the goal.

I’m sure we’ve all had a hostile question or two thrown at us at work, and that’s what happened with Abdul El-Sayed here.

What did he do? Kept grounded and found a way of common ground.

I think we can all take a lesson from this interaction. Stay grounded and my best advice of all… don’t forget to breathe.

This is what is making most women feel unconfident.

Pitch is how high or low your voice sounds based on how fast your vocal cords vibrate.

Resonance is the brightness or darkness of your voice.

Many get them confused and end up sounding like they are putting on a forced voice, which is uncomfortable for everyone involved.

Thank you for having me on the podcast! Let me know if you have listened.

The realisation that we’ll never hear that voice again is slowly dawning on me.

The huge loss of the legendary Patrick Stewart who had one of the most distinctive voices in the industry will take some time to sink in.

For me he was the epitome of Gravitas, the ultimate presence on stage, an instantly recognisable voice and one of our finest actors.

It is well known that he was also a kind, generous and humble company member. An actor's actor he was passionate about his craft and imparting his wisdom to the younger generations of actors coming up behind him without ego.

He will be sorely missed. Sleep well Patrick.

The secret to being a good speaker comes down to one thing…

Watch until the end to find out 🎤

We all assume that A-List celebrities are instantly confidence, that they were born with it and they know no other way.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Now, I don’t know about you but as someone who isn’t naturally confident, that gives me a whole lot of hope!

Swipe through to see some of the quotes from my first book that still stick with me today.

Let me know which one feels the most relevant for you right now 🎤

I’d bet most of us have had a speaking experience like this!

The good news is that once you have one, it should teach you a lesson so great that you never have one again.

Gosh, since my Central Hall moment of shame, I’ve never been underprepped again.

If you’re delivering a talk with someone else, we often think it will be less work… but, I’m sorry to say, most of the time it’s much more!

Should you be using AI to help you with public speaking?

Here are my thoughts! Until AI has lungs, I think we are way off it being an aid for speaking.

Lean into the humanness, the imperfections, the rawness that make you human… that is something unique to you and what AI cannot replicate.

Do you think AI can help with speaking? Discuss 💭

If we all added a little more George Clooney to our days, I think the world would be a much better place.. don’t you? 😂

The lightness in which we can carry ourselves through the world is compelling and something not a lot of people have mastered.

Master that and you’re immediately more interested than 99% of people!

People ask me how I’m so calm on the stage.

But, I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I’ve coached all kinds of people, politicians, celebrities, public figures, and they all want a shortcut to being a good speaker.

The main thing is practice. It’s the boring answer but it’s the one that’s proven to work.

Hope these lessons helps and feel free to ask any questions!
