I started out as an English (and French!) teacher, but soon found greater gratification in helping people find their voice. My seminars, workshops and courses are all designed to increase the confidence of participants by equipping them with step by step methods to structure their presentations, improve their delivery and reach a point of enjoying the process of speaking.My aim, in writing The Speaking Formula, is to provide a book that guides readers through the process of improving their confidence and crafting presentations. I wanted to create something that would make nervous speakers feel that their hand was being held through the process, but that would also add value to the experienced speakers who could skip the hand-holding process.The Speaking Formula is a culmination of twenty years of working with CEOs, engineers, architects, GMs, technicians, nurses, doctors, teachers, students, children, lawyers, plumbers, artists, lecturers and entrepreneurs. No matter the profession, people have similar concerns and similar difficulties when it comes to putting together presentations. The Speaking Formula is a resource for all presenters and speakers.view less
