Hello, I'm Alex 

 

Let me help you become an influential speaker

Learning to speak well completely changed my life

Without a shadow of a doubt, it is the one skill that has transformed my career, my confidence, my personal relationships, and my earning potential. 

However, I am an accidental public speaker. I started in 2019 with no experience, and no training. Very quickly, I had to figure out what my key messages were, how to structure my content, and of course, how to get over my nerves!

But in the end, all those wobbly moments were beneficial and on this (very) steep learning curve, I built Pass the Mic - a programme to help other women find and own their voice. 

 

Pass the Mic: On Demand

Pass The Mic: On Demand is a self-paced online version of the programme.

I designed it for those who really want to improve their speaking but aren't able to commit to regular live training, so are looking for something more accessible and flexible.

Unlike other online courses, accountability is built in from the beginning. It's great to have the option to go at your own pace, but most of us also need a supportive nudge to stay on track, and that is what I will offer in between modules.  

 

What is included? 

  • 17 audio lessons full of inspiration, examples and exercises for you to complete
  • Accompanying worksheets and lesson summaries to guide you through each exercise 
  • Personalised feedback via voice notes (optional). No bots here. 
  • 30% off a 60 minute live coaching call with me

All of the course materials are yours for life; they have been tried and tested with 10 live cohorts and produced transformational results. 

The cost is £99

Why does speaking matter?

DEI initiatives will not work unless we also address the systemic reasons why there are fewer female leaders in the first place.

Historically, men and women have been socialised differently. As a result, research has shown that women struggle more with being visible, taking up space and of course, sharing their true opinions. 

But, if we really want to have more balanced leadership teams, then promoting women is not enough. It's also about building the skills, and mindset to know that you can lead the room. In so many organisations I've worked with, the ability of teams to voice what really matters to them, is the number one reason why the change doesn't happen. 

 

Is it for me?

 

This course will help if you:

  • are looking for a new role and want to improve interview performance
  • are a freelancer or small business owner frequently pitching for new work, and/or networking
  • are an activist or campaigner seeking to get your messages across more effectively
  • give frequent presentations to external customers or clients and do not feel as confident as you'd like

And, if you find yourself:

  • holding back in meetings even when you know you have something valuable to say!
  • lying awake at night thinking about how you could have said something better/differently 
  • frustrated when others gain credit simply because they know how to sell themselves 

 

If you answered yes to any of the above, then come on board!

What the course covers:

MANAGING YOUR ENERGY

The audience will feel what you feel. So whether it's a 1:1, or 300 people; before saying a word, you have to get to grips with what your body is saying too. Managing your energy properly is the preliminary step to improving your performance. 

EXPLORING YOUR beliefs 

What do you really want to say? Your unique take on a topic is what gives you the edge, so first we'll uncover the key beliefs and ideas that will underpin your speaking practice. From there, we'll dig deeper into the juicer, more unexpected or controversial areas.

 

FINDING YOUR STORIES

Your lived experience is your secret weapon, so we'll look at how to find your most compelling stories and use them to illuminate your subject. You will also have the opportunity to structure a whole speech that will hook the audience from start to finish.

UNBLOCKING FEAR

Fear is normal and it can be harnessed to improve performance, but not if we get stuck in the story of past failure or perfectionism. We'll look at fear through a few different lenses, to figure out how you might start to reprogramme your identity as a speaker. 

IMPROVING YOUR LANGUAGE

The devil is in the detail so they say and certain words, used consistently, reduce the clarity, coherence and confidence of our messages. Here you'll understand strategies to alter your language patterns to sound more influential.

NAILING YOUR MESSAGES

The secret to truly speaking with ease is having your key messages locked down and embedded in your muscle memory - we'll look at how you can turn conversational speech into punchy memorable hooks.

Take Pass the Mic

Improving your speaking is a gateway to more confidence in every area of your life.

You'll find yourself able to hold boundaries more easily, negotiate for what you want, and resolve conflict. You'll build stronger relationships and you'll believe in yourself more.

As soon as I decided to invest in speaking coaching for myself, I wondered why I hadn't done it sooner. I noticed that people started treating me differently because I could hold my own, and communicate with authority.

For me, it was a game changer.
