Public speaking

HOW TO DO IT WELL

Being an effective public speaker can build your career and grow your business, whilst making what you do more meaningful.

  • Imagine it’s a conversation and not just a monologue 

  • Have a good introduction to draw your audience in and create a memorable ending to leave them wanting more

  • A basic structure will give you room to improvise –
    but avoid a script! Put your heart into it, don’t rush it...all in good time

How do I do this?

I can help you find your voice and feel more confident in the public arena, in front of the microphone, on camera, during interviews and whilst dealing with challenging mainstream media attention. 

I can work with you (121 or in group workshop setting) to develop your skills, teach you how to be more prepared and gauge what your key messages are. 

If you’re getting ready to be interviewed, you will learn that the person holding the microphone or pointing the camera in your direction is not the one in control, you are. My job is to help you embrace that feeling. 

As MD of a marketing company, I possess a certain amount of confidence and am generally pretty ok at what I do. However, I have never felt that comfortable with standing up and giving talks or presentations. This is exacerbated by being dyslexic and not being great with accompanying notes.

I can’t say enough about how impressive Antonia is at mentoring and nurturing, as to how to apply the best practice tools she empowers you with. She has some superpowers! She identifies what the problems are that might be holding you back. She then comes up with mechanisms to deal with them.

I have since given several talks and have not been phased by delivering them. This is all because of her expertise, patience and the fact that she is really caring about helping individuals to be the best versions of themselves.

I would highly recommend Antonia without hesitation

I’ve known Antonia since her days as a BBC Radio presenter. She is a warm and sparkly individual with a bright mind and boundless energy. Alongside this however, she also offers the rigour and caution of a trained journalist. This combination of personality and ability is why I went to her to learn key communication and presentation skills. Antonia gave me the confidence to present on camera which I am very grateful for. Thank you Antonia
