Public speaking is scary,
but what if you had fun with it?

Let’s make it something you seek,
not something you fear.

Public speaking is intimidating.
So, I’ve made it a fun learning process.

You’ll see that it can be just as
empowering as it is daunting (if not more!)

Case studies

Most people fear public speaking.

But never get to practise it.

How can we improve, if we’re not given a chance?

I created my own workshops to make public speaking more accessible.

I have a long-term
love for storytelling.

But my love for public speaking began in 2022.

I was 21 years old. Speaking in front of 800 people.

In my final year of studying English Language & Literature at Oxford University, I applied to speak at the TEDxOxford conference. I was lucky enough to win, but I was extremely nervous.

It was my first time properly doing public speaking.

I still remember my buckling knees, fearing I would literally be incapable of walking up on stage.

But, inspired to tell the unbelievable life stories of my immigrant parents, I found my last bit of courage and slowly walked to the red dot, observing the hundreds of faces focussed on me.

My talk remains the scariest thing I’ve ever done.

But simultaneously my proudest achievement to date.

I felt brave and empowered, and I seek to inspire the same transformation in others.

  • If you’re hosting an event and would like to inspire your audience.

Public speaking is scary.
Practising it shouldn’t be.

More about my workshops

Sell it to me!

My signature format which doubles as a team social!
Ideal if you want to develop presentation skills AND foster culture.

THE GAME

You get 3 minutes to pitch a personal topic or opinion to your colleagues.

It can be as silly or serious as you want, as long as you’re passionate about it!
(Speaking about something that you care about helps take away pressure and inspires your natural charisma).

Each presenter gets 1:1 coaching with me before and after.
That’s to help them become the best presenters they can be!

  • No, don’t worry, it’s not just for salespeople!

    However, the idea of selling is a powerful way to hone effective and persuasive communication skills.

    You'll practice sharpening your focus (the argument or 'sell'), your structure, storytelling techniques, and so much more.

    Everyone should know how to ‘sell’, regardless of their field.

    We all need to convince and persuade others daily – 'selling' our viewpoints – in both personal and professional contexts.

  • ‘Sell it to me’ works best as a recurring activity, say every month or two.

    Each session typically lasts 1 hour, featuring 3 speakers who have prepared their pitches in advance (with my help).


    Each presenter has 3 minutes to pitch, followed by a 5-minute Q&A session with the rest of the team.

    This encourages deeper engagement from listeners and empowers presenters.

    The setup can be adjusted based on your group's size. Please feel free to contact me so we can determine the best format for your team!

Or if you want a more intense learning experience…

My Masterclasses

I provide theory, tips, and most importantly an opportunity for everyone in the room to practise with real life examples and coaching.

I cover various areas of public speaking, including:

  • Conquer Your Public Speaking Nerves
    My 3Ps for Confidence: Preparation, Pacing, and Pauses

  • 5 Principles of Public Speaking
    Clarity, Pauses, Vocal Delivery, Eye Contact, Body Language

  • My 3Cs Checklist
    Clarity, Connection, and Confidence

You’ll walk away feeling empowered and equipped to embrace your next speaking opportunity.

  • Since my masterclasses are highly interactive, I suggest a max of 10 participants.

    With only a few hours, I want to give everyone a chance to participate and practise presenting.

    But, I’m happy to tailor this to your needs depending on your group size and desired duration.

  • My masterclasses are minimum 2-3 hours including breaks.

    But if you have more time available, we can cover more and give everyone a chance to speak more.

Or, if you have very specific needs, we can figure out a bespoke format

Bespoke Workshops

I’ll tailor the format to your specific group and desired outcomes.
This is ideal if you have a specific vision, objective, or event in mind!

Together, we’ll agree on details like

  • Duration

  • Level of interaction

  • Key topics and skills to address

For example,

  • Building confidence

  • Body language, vocal delivery, storytelling etc.

  • Unique challenges and skills in your industry
