I help, and have helped, many people with performance confidence. This involves technical nuances of voice and speech, but also includes a range of other technical skills, including posture and physicality. And then there’s getting to know a bit more about you and what has been holding you back.
When it all fits together and you find how it works for YOU personally, coming across in the way you want, making a positive and compelling impact while retaining your authentic self, your confidence becomes easy and automatic. People will feel you have ‘stage presence’. I love helping people to find, utilise and truly own their voice, speaking and performance confidence.
But what if you’re someone who’s had years of feeling confident, everything going well, positive results… and something has caused that to change. It could be anything, you may not be able to put your finger on what’s happened, and it doesn’t have to be your fault. In fact, it probably isn’t. But try as you might, you can’t fix it and you can feel your confidence dwindling.
Now you begin to wonder whether, if you were asked to step forward and speak, give a presentation, go for an interview, you might not be up to it. You might mess it up. You might be judged unfavourably. You might ‘fail’.
There’s no age restriction on this happening to you. Knowledge and experience that is linked to age is becoming increasingly less valued, respected or even acknowledged across many workplaces. Pensionable age heading to 67… we’re offered mortgages till age 70… it’s likely that pensionable age is expected to keep rising. Our working age is increasing but we are potentially thrown on the employment scrapheap long before we reach that age.
So as well as working with clients who have always felt under-confident, wish they could make a more effective impact, or just want to explore how to improve their speaking skills; I would like to give a big shout-out to the increasing number of people who are losing or have lost the confidence they once had in their speaking and performance - and don’t know how to get it back.
If this feels like you, you are certainly not the only one.
I hear you and I know exactly what you’re going through. I will help you regain that confidence, utilise all your experience and give you practical tips to help you be stronger and more assured than ever before.
You're not alone in this. Not by any means.
