About this Event

You have a cause that you are passionate about. Most speakers do.

You have a powerful story to tell and you know your voice can make a difference to people who are struggling. Public speaking offers you the opportunity to inspire and impact hundreds, thousands, even millions of lives.

Becoming a professional speaker allows you to earn money for your message. You can quit your job, if you don’t like it, so that you can be your own boss and live life on your terms. It means you get up in the morning excited for the day of work ahead. It gives you the flexibility to work, look after the kids, and have some time for yourself too.

This lifestyle isn't just the rah-rah hype of network marketing and get-rich-quick schemes, in the virtual world we are living in this is a more achievable reality than ever before.

Of course, the question you keep asking yourself is "Where do I start?”. You've tried a couple of different speaking programs, but none of them have quite "clicked" for you.

You know you're passionate, but don't know how to communicate that passion. You have been building up the courage to start speaking about what matters. Scared that no one will listen to you. Scared that you will share your deep dark secrets and no one will care.You don't know whether you are ready to put yourself in the limelight and be an ambassador for your cause.

And even if you do, will it actually make a difference?

You know you want to earn some money, but you feel intimidated when you hear about the astronomical fees that some speakers get paid.

You want more time, but the free time you have is spent trying to learn the skills of speaking. Being you own boss still means you have tough days, and it often means assigning yourself more work than you had before. If you're not careful, you work and life end up more unbalanced than ever before.

I believe most speakers find this path is chosen for them by some life event or experience. I imagine this was true for you and it certainly was for me.

I was set on the path of speaking when I lost my dad to cancer at age 22.

My dad had so much wisdom to share. He read so many books and had journals and notepads full of his ideas on psychology, philosophy, physics and pretty much anything else that took his interest.

My dad lived in an age before being able to self publish a book on Amazon, host your own radio show on Apple Podcasts or have your own TV show on Youtube.

About six weeks before he died, I interviewed my dad about his life. One of the questions I asked him was “What do you feel your biggest achievement is?”.



He paused for thought, looked at me and replied: “You know David, sometimes I feel I haven’t achieved that much really.”

That answer haunts me. When Dad died, he hadn’t made the most of the wisdom he had to share. I didn’t want the same thing to happen to me.

I didn’t want to be lying on my deathbed one day and feel that I hadn’t made the most of my abilities. I didn’t want anyone else who had something to share take it to the grave the way my dad did.

So I began learning how to communicate ideas through writing and speaking. Since Dad died, I’ve written four #1 bestselling books, won 7 national public speaking competitions and my coaching clients have gone on to speak for TEDx, the NHS, the Pr*son service, Russell Group universities and a host of worthy causes and charities.

I knew that making the most of my abilities wasn’t about passing my wisdom onto one person, the way Dad did with me, but developing speakers who could spread their messages in more ways than I ever could.

Everything changes when you learn public speaking.

I believe there is nothing as powerful for inspiring people.

When you learn how to tell your story, how to connect with people, how to solve their problems, you will start making a difference in the world.

There are 1 billion people who understand English. You can reach any of them, if you learn this skill.

A good speech ripples through the ages, from the Sermon on the Mount, to the Gettysburg Address, to I Have a Dream.

In this masterclass, you are going to learn the key components of what you need to be a great speaker.

Unlike what you may have heard before, it's not "Charismatic Body Language".

It's not a "Voice of Authority".

It's not a "Soundproof Structure".

In this masterclass, we are going to get to the essence of what you need to become an impactful speaker.

You'll learn how to find the courage to speak up and put your message out into the world.

You'll learn how to develop your own unique style as a speaker so that you can stand out from the crowd.

You'll learn the #1 skill of delivering a great speech.

In a world riven by misinformation, tribalism and frankly boring presenters, we need to see speakers who inspire us.

We need voices rallying support for the great issues and challenges of our times.

If you are ready to be that voice, then click the button to the left to sign up and begin your journey of public speaking mastery.
