There’s something magical about the number three. In storytelling, speeches, and even comedy, groups of three just work. They capture attention, build rhythm, and stick in our minds long after the story is over. This isn’t just coincidence, it’s science and psychology working together to make your m...

We’ve all seen that speaker — the one whose facial expressions look like they’ve been borrowed from a pantomime. Overly exaggerated smiles, shocked eyebrows, and “drama school” intensity that feels more like performance than presence. But here’s the thing: your face is one of your most powerful tool...

After years of standing on stages (and occasionally tripping over cables behind them), I’ve learned a thing or two about what makes an event soar and what sends it crashing faster than a dodgy microphone.

If you’re an event organiser, here’s what I wish you knew about booking speakers. Consider thi...

When you step onto a stage, the audience has already made up their mind about you before you’ve even said a word. Why? Because your personal brand arrives first. Just like a model on the runway sets the tone for the designer’s entire collection, your brand sets the stage for how people will perceive...

Three years ago, I was carrying an extra 50 kilos on my body. I was also carrying the invisible weight of insecurity, self-doubt, and a fear of being seen. Yes, I was already a speaker, a coach, a business owner but behind the microphone, I sometimes felt like I was shrinking into myself.

Fast forw...

I’ll never forget the first time someone asked me, “So, what’s your speaking fee?”

I’d been preparing for that moment for months maybe even years. I’d devoured books on public speaking, polished my keynote, and told myself over and over, “You’re ready. You’ve got this.”

But when the email landed i...

When you’ve been speaking for as long as I have, you develop certain habits, little rituals that keep you grounded no matter where in the world you are or how big the crowd might be. Some people meditate. Some listen to pump-up playlists. Me? I have one non-negotiable, can’t-skip, do-it-or-I’ll-regr...

A few years ago, if you asked me to speak at your event for free, I probably would’ve said yes.

I’d have done it with a smile, put on a fresh outfit, maybe even hired a babysitter, and rocked up like the pro I am. And most of the time? I’d leave with nothing but a thank-you and a lukewarm sandwich....

As a professional speaker and business owner, I know firsthand how quickly burnout can creep in. Between delivering keynote presentations, running my programs, managing a team, and staying on top of client needs, it’s easy to fall into the trap of constant output with little recovery. Speaking burno...

Because a webinar can warm them up, but a stage sets them on fire.

If you’re still clinging to your opt-in freebies and evergreen webinar replays hoping for a big-ticket client to slide into your DMs, it’s time to talk.

There’s a new funnel in town and it doesn’t involve fancy landing pages, endle...

Public speaking isn’t just a talent, it’s a career path that, when done right, can offer long-term fulfilment, income, and impact. But let’s not sugar-coat it: the speaking industry can be fiercely competitive. From seasoned keynoters to emerging thought leaders, everyone is vying for that next gig,...

There’s nothing quite like the feeling you get after delivering a speech. Whether it went off without a hitch or had a few bumps along the way, the moment it ends is when real growth begins. That growth comes through evaluation.

Strong public speakers are not born with perfect skills. They develop ...
