Public Speaking

You know that to have an impact, you need to speak up.

However, as many among us, you may feel naturally uncomfortable addressing an audience, be it to give a business speech in front of your colleagues, an academic presentation, or simply taking the floor to ask a question during a conference.

Am I legitimate to say this? What if it’s a stupid question? What if I forget my main idea? What if people laugh at my pronunciation?

What if … you just go for it?

The good news about public speaking is that it’s a skill and like any other skill, you can learn how to master it and have impact.

The other good news? I can help you with it.

As a communication expert, trained radio & podcast host and language teacher, I know effective public speaking takes more than following a one-size-fits-all program.

Depending on your needs, time-constraints and challenges, we will agree on a tailor-made coaching program that will bring your public speaking skills to a next level*.

*Be it in English, French, Dutch, Spanish or Italian.

Media Training

Whether you like it or not, if you want to share your message to the world, you will be interacting with media at some point.

And guess what? You better be prepared for it.

What if they ask difficult questions? What if they cut my answers? What if I'm not clear enough?

What if ... I help you prepare for it?

To interact effectively with media, it is important to understand the landscape and context in which journalists or interviewers work. Giving a radio interview in a morning show won't be the same as having to answer questions during a live show on television or having a one-hour podcast interview.

The good news?  The quality and methodology of your preparation remains the same.

Depending on your experience and needs I will walk you through the Belgian media landscape,  share the do's & don'ts in media-relations, support you in developing
clear and concise key messages for media interviews and - most importantly - set up mock interviews by putting you in front of a camera and/or microphone.

I know, you hate me already. But you know the saying ... practice makes perfect.
