The Stage Ready Programme

A highly focused, bespoke coaching package designed to prepare you for a single, high-stakes speaking event.

 
 

Nail your next big talk. Total confidence, in just 6 sessions.

Do you have a crucial conference keynote, a make-or-break client pitch, or a vital presentation coming up? This highly focused, six-session coaching programme is designed to prepare you for that one specific, high-stakes speaking engagement.

Working 1-2-1 with me, we will take your existing ideas and shape them into a powerful, authentic, and memorable presentation. We won't just focus on the content; we will get you out of your head and into your body, rehearsing out loud to build muscle memory and true, grounded confidence. This is a fast-paced, practical, and entirely bespoke process tailored to your event, your style, and your specific goals. The aim is to move from overthinking to intuitive delivery, ensuring your message lands with the impact it deserves.

What is the Stage Ready Programme?

From scattered thoughts to a polished, powerful performance.

The Stage Ready Programme is the most direct route to prepare for a specific speaking engagement. Over five intensive sessions, we will dive deep into your unique needs for your upcoming talk. Act as your guide - taking you from your early scattered thinking, down into the final delivery of a polished, powerful message.

We will use core principles from my proven 6 Point Speaker Programme, but apply them with a laser focus on your single event through the 4P’s above. This means we move quickly from brainstorming and structuring to embodied, verbalised practice. The goal is not to create a rigid script you have to memorise. Instead, we will unlock your natural, authentic storytelling style so you can connect with your audience, rather than just perform for them. This is about trusting that the right thing will emerge in the moment because you've done the foundational work.

This course is ideal for:

  • Conference Speakers preparing for a keynote or panel discussion.

  • Business Leaders delivering an important company-wide address, investor update, or high-stakes pitch.

  • Anyone who has a specific, important speaking opportunity on the horizon and wants to ensure they get it right.

"Matt was an enormous help when I had to prepare for delivering my first keynote speech. His coaching sessions and expert advice built my confidence and improved my technique, so that I was able to deliver a talk that I feel proud of. I'd highly recommend him."

Fay Wallis - Career & Leadership Coach, Bright Sky Career Coaching

 
 
 

Facts don't move people. Feelings do.

The most powerful presentations aren't the ones with the most polished slides; they are the ones that feel real. 

It's about letting go of the idea of a 'perfect' script and trusting that the right thing will emerge in the moment, spoken in a way that is authentically you.

 

Our 5-Step Process

1.

Insight & Content Scoping

We start by defining your key message, your audience's needs, and the feeling you want to leave them with. We'll use the index card method to brainstorm and map out your core topics.

2.

Structuring & Storytelling

We organise your points into a compelling narrative. We'll uncover your authentic storytelling style and weave in emotion and descriptive language to make your message memorable and engaging. We may start building ou an early slide deck at this stage.

3.

Embodied Rehearsal (The Potter's Wheel)

This is where the magic happens. We move from cards to clarity through repeated, short bursts of rehearsal. Each "revolution" shapes your content through speech, not just thought, building your intuitive connection to the material.

4.

Polishing Your Presence

We focus on how you deliver your message. We work on your vocal tone, pace, pauses, and body language to ensure you project authority and authenticity. We’ll also develop your personal toolkit for managing nerves and anxiety.

5.

Final Dress Rehearsal & Mindset Prep

Your final run-through of the full presentation, complete with feedback. We’ll solidify your mindset, establish your pre-talk controls, and ensure you feel completely ready and excited to step on stage.

Harminder Matharu - Director of Digital, Charlotte Tilbury

Zoe Burke - Editor, Hitched

Sophie Fell - Director of Paid Media, Two Trees PPC
