Helping you to make your speech
Giving a speech can be a daunting prospect for anyone. But with a little preparation it can be a very enjoyable experience. As a seasoned and confident public speaker, George offers individually tailored coaching sessions to help you develop or improve your performance.
Whether you have to deliver a formal wedding speech, a business presentation, an awards ceremony address or an annual dinner talk, George will share his insider tips and hints on every aspect of public speaking. With his expert guidance, the whole experience will be more rewarding and successful for you – and your audience.
George provides one-to-one tuition to individuals or groups of up to six people, in a location to suit you. Depending on your needs and experience, the sessions can last from a couple of hours up to a full day, with plenty of opportunity for you to hone your skills in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
For a less formal approach
If your event requires a less formal host, George can act as your master of ceremonies. Dressed in lounge suit or dinner jacket, rather than the traditional red jacket of the toastmaster, George will conduct your meeting or event with charm, professionalism and efficiency.
