"Becoming a Better Teacher & Speaker" is for anyone who teaches, trains, or speaks in front of adults — and wants to do it better.

The workshop is a one-day experience for a small group (maximum 12 participants). Together, we’ll explore how adults learn, practice the craft of teaching and speaking, and reflect on who we are—and who we're becoming—as communicators.

Participants can expect to:

Gain a clearer understanding of how adults learn, remember, and grow
Develop a felt sense of what significant learning is and how to create it
Practise short teaching moments in a supportive, thoughtful room
Learn how to open a talk in a way that captures attention from the start
Explore essential delivery skills such as pacing, tone, posture, presence
See how good structure and simple storytelling make teaching clearer and more compelling
Receive honest, encouraging feedback from peers and the facilitator
Reflect on personal strengths, fears, and motivations as a teacher or speaker

The day is designed to help you see teaching more clearly—how it works, what helps adults learn, and why it matters. Along the way, you'll build confidence through understanding and practise, and reconnect with the purpose of the work you do.

If this sounds like you, I’d love you to join me. And if someone comes to mind who’d benefit, please forward them the link to this page.
