Mesmerise Your Audience with Meaningful Magic 

Can you think back to the best speech or performance you've ever experienced? It wasn’t just about the words was it? There was something else happening, something greater than the words being spoken that made your spine tingle or your heart open or your mind expand into new territories. Maybe you saw a confidence in them, a bravery, a vulnerability, a power, an undeniable spark that was tangible to you as an audience member that left a meaningful impact on you. The magic that happens when someone tells a compelling story that makes an audience feel alive. That’s not just speaking, that’s artistry. 

Have you ever wondered what that thing is that makes a speaker unforgettable? A lot of folks invest endless hours honing scripts and perfecting their stance, what to do with their hands and delivery. And while that groundwork might have its place earlier on in your journey as a speaker, the real magic that elevates the most transformative speakers above the rest doesn’t lie in their meticulous preparation. 

It lies in the profound, emotional connection they forge with their audience as they create spontaneously with them. This is light-years beyond technical perfection or scripts, which is the status quo - being told what to do and how to do it by others or from our own preconceived expectations rather than being alive to the magic in the moment.

You’ve probably experienced the magic before when you’ve been “in the zone” somehow where everything just happened easy, enjoyably and just right with no effort. The problem most folks have is that these moments are elusive.

It’s like the planets aligned this one time and you don’t know how to get back into the zone! This is a problem because your story could really change lives as long as you have the ability to call upon this skill at will, sometimes without warning when the curtain goes up, the director says action or the intro on to stage has been given.

Here’s the good news, we ALL have the ability to create these moments at will. In fact they’re probably happening more than you think if you could only notice them. Performers, Public Speakers, Executive Leaders and Teachers(and more!) alike! This is where you create a space where words do more than convey messages; they transform, inspire, and leave a lasting imprint on the hearts and minds of those you speak to.

This journey is about more than mastering public speaking—it's about mastering the art of Speaking by becoming a Speaking Artist.

Speaking Artists are storytellers and storytelling is an innate human ability that you can re-master!

How Do I Bottle the Lightning?

When epic moments happen on stage it’s like lightning in a bottle! Something powerful happens spontaneously between you and audience that creates a ripple effect that lasts. Where you’ve experienced taking that electric on stage energy and brought it into a meaningful and impactful form.

I’ve helped folks over the years training them in voice and performance and these lightning in a bottle moments aren’t only inevitable and predictable, they are trainable! And crucially, it's not just about the techniques (though, with my background in Fitzmaurice Voicework®, the Meisner Technique, and Organic Intelligence®, I've got plenty of those). It's about the journey we take together. Biologically speaking, we are social beings, we’re better off together than lone wolves and we reach our most meaningful moments through supportive relationship.

I’ve worked with Hollywood stars, folks stepping on to the TED talk stage, big-time execs and all sorts of other amazing people. 

What I've learned is this: We ALL have the ability to create a compelling story that makes an audience feel meaningfully alive.  

You might be thinking you don’t have any power over your “lightning in a bottle” moments - after all it’s something difficult to even describe.  But here’s the thing - we absolutely can nurture them and prime for an otherworldly performance and I’m here to show you how in a  practical way - practical magic!

To be a Speaking Artist who can create and capture spontaneous magic, you need an open mind, heart, and nervous system. And more good news is that there’s a set of neurobiologically based mindfulness and performance-based skills that can be learned to set the scene for the magic to happen. 

Like any skill - these 12 skills are easily trainable when broken down in an easy step-by-step process.

And this is exactly why I created my signature systematic framework:

The Emergence Framework. 

Think of it as your personal toolkit for radiating more of your own fabulous humanness and meaningfully magnetizing other humans, whether you're on stage, in a meeting, or anywhere else your voice needs to be heard. 

It's not about just being good; it's about being memorable, making those moments that really stick with people so they end up talking passionately about you, your mission, your work, long after your performance - because that’s when your story will gather momentum to change the world. 

When you’re skilled in Emergence: you learn the tools to transfix your audience so they’re ready, open and willing to be taken on a journey with you which could leave their inner world completely transformed, motivated to connect and invest in you.  

Here’s the thing: people transform not just from knowledge (the words/scripts) - but from a meaningful, emotional experience (the delivery) and there is no more powerful way than through stories. With Emergence, I'll guide you to not only find your unique voice but to use it in ways to deliver your message, your story that truly resonates with your audience opening doors to new opportunities limited only by your imagination.

In the heart of the Emergence Framework lies a powerful truth: when your nervous system is in harmony, your stage presence becomes a source of joy and pleasure, not just for your audience, but for you as well. Emergence gives you a poathway to learn how to transform every performance into an experience that fills you with vitality and leaves you ready join the world as your peer. Gone are the days of needing to hide under the duvet for days after a performance to recover. Performances can move from being life sucking to a life giving source of energy and purpose in life. Gone are the days of hiding under the duvet for 2 recovery days after being on a big stage!

Becoming skilled in the Emergence is a simple way to make your elusive or even non-existent "lightning in a bottle" moments—what I call Emerging Moments—more frequent and reliable.

So when it’s time to speak, you’ve got the magic at your fingertips.

Imagine this:

Standing before a crowd, your heart's racing, palms sweaty. You're not just another speaker. You've battled challenges that could break the strongest of spirits, emerging not just intact but with a fire inside. 

This isn't just a story you're sharing; your journey through adversity has birthed a solution—perhaps you’ve written a life-altering book, launched a transformative program, or created a groundbreaking methodology. 

Your mission isn't driven just by profit; it's the essence of your soul, an extension of you, born from your deepest struggles, designed to ensure no one else suffers like you did. There's healing in knowing your past trials can now serve as a beacon of hope and transformation for those before you.

As an acknowledged expert, you recognize the gravity of this moment. Sharing words alone won't be enough for you; you're here to shake the foundations of your audience’s belief systems, guiding them through a transformative journey that will not just inspire but catalyze real change.

As you lock eyes with your audience, you find your center. You’re about to turn your speech into something legendary—an unforgettable ride. This is where you turn life wisdom into power, where your voice and your story becomes the call for change. 

Imagine every speech or performance not just as a task to be completed or conversions and sales to be made (although that happens as a by-product for my clients) but as an opportunity to connect, motivate, and transform. They are going to leave today, a different person, all because of you and the experience you will co-create with them. And you know it will be nothing short of magical. 

This is speaking artistry, where you don’t just deliver a message. You might even ignite a revolution. 

This is your time.

Let's make every moment count.

Come and experience the Magic for yourself...
