The Expert Edge Speaker Training
I’m passionate about powering leaders up to find their voice, own their influence and showcase their expertise.
I know from experience that speaking opens doors, increases influence and snowballs opportunities.
I also know that many people find it utterly terrifying. (I was that person!) Or they’ve become so set in their style that they struggle to play to their strengths and gain real impact.
The Expert Edge takes a
different approach
We train either one-to-one or in small, supportive groups, to get the best out of every speaker – no matter what their experience.
1. For reluctant speakers:
This is pitched at the reluctant, nervous speakers who would rather be anywhere than addressing a room.
We start with mindset and nervous system regulation, before gently – and safely – layering the skills to build confidence, capability and enthusiasm. (All whilst developing individual strengths and traits.)
By the end, each speaker will not only have improved their technique, but will have changed their mindset to feel more competent, in control, and motivated to do it again!
2. For experienced speakers:
This is for those with some speaking experience who want to make their name as an expert speaker and / or launch their speaking careers.
We focus on the psychology of becoming memorable, advanced body language and vocal techniques – and the story-telling and communication strategies that leave audiences (and event organisers) wanting more.
Client Love
“Working with Nicole has been the best investment I ever made in myself. I set a goal to not only get on the board in a new company, but to transform a demotivated and underperforming team. She had her work cut out but, wow! I achieved both of those things within twelve months of hiring her and am now working towards becoming a partner. My confidence and leadership status have surged with her support – to the extent that I’ve been headhunted multiple times! Anyone who’s serious about their development should work with Nicole. It’s a no-brainer.”
“If past me could see me today, she’d be floored! I don’t recognise myself and I’ve literally shocked myself with what I’ve achieved in such a short period of time. And that, dear Nicole, is down to your expertise, kindness, warmth and continued guidance. You challenged me when I couldn’t see, listened when I needed it and taught me things about my brain and nervous system that I wish I’d known 20 years ago. I cannot thank you enough.”
What can I say? Nicole knows her subject inside out. She’s the epitome of calm, kindness and expertise and has an amazing knack for bringing the best out of people in the ways that work for them. As an ADHD overachiever, approaches that work for others often don’t work for me so her ability to understand – and adapt to - my needs sets her apart from the other exec coaches I have worked with. For the first time in my life, my mindset is on point and I trust myself to deliver and lead like the bad-ass I am! I can’t imagine where I’d be without her.”
