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 5 sessions.

Do you have a crucial conference keynote, a make-or-break client pitch, or a vital presentation coming up? This highly focused, five-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. 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.

  • Professionals stepping into a new role that requires more visibility and presentations.

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

The 6 Points of the Toolkit

1.

Preparation

Learn how to prepare talks, meetings or presentations quickly and effectively. We’ll use a clear, three-step system to go from scattered thoughts to structured speaking points. No waffle. No fluff. Just clarity and confidence.

2.

Controls

Take the stress out of the unknown. We’ll build your pre-event checklist to make sure you’re always in charge. From knowing the tech setup to managing Q&As, timings, and audience expectations.

3.

Storytelling

People don’t remember bullet points : they remember stories. We’ll work on your ability to tell personal, relevant and emotionally engaging stories. Narratives that land with your audience, even in professional settings.

4.

Physical & Vocal Presence

How you look and sound matters. We’ll work on vocal tone, pace, pauses and body language so you speak with authority, without losing your natural style.

5.

Nerves & Anxiety

We’ll tackle imposter syndrome, overthinking and performance fear with proven tools. These include breathwork, visualisation and CBT-based reframing. You’ll leave with a go-to anxiety toolkit.

6.

Mindset & Integration

This is where it all comes together. We’ll look at mindset, resilience, reflection and rehearsal. Ultimately, building sustainable confidence so these skills become second nature.
