Every Body Leads

Speaking and Presentation Mastery

Personal Coaching with Kirstie Seaborne

"...if you are talking about trying to lead a movement, trying to change the world, then you sure as hell better be an inspiring figure. You don't have to be slick or polished, you do not have to be tall or good looking, but you do necessariy have to connect, inspire, and motivate. That's what leaders do."

- Garr Reynolds

Getting to the Heart of Communication Skills

Move beyond performance anxiety and sabotaging beliefs, attitudes and behaviours, so you can be free to communicate with confidence, clarity and ease.

Are your communication skills letting you down? Is your performance anxiety or reluctance to speak in public limiting your career, prospects and opportunities?

Maybe you present yourself well when conditions are favourable, but how do you act when the stakes are high, the audience is hostile or the conversation has become a confrontation? Do you muddle through, performing well below your best, and risk being paralysed with nerves when you most need to be in control?

The challenges of public speaking and effective communication are the same no matter your position or role in life.

This moment counts.

Your reputation, credibility and future prospects, not to mention relationships, depend on making a good impression. The success of your idea, your company, or your chance to inspire change, can hinge on a single presentation or conversation.

Speaking can certainly seem dangerous! But it doesn’t have to be that way...

...because you can learn the principles and practices that help you perform at your best, and stay calm, clear and focused on the outcome (even under pressure), with a personal presence that speaks volumes about your confidence and credibility.

The Mastery Program will teach you the art and craft of creating magnetic messages, with the physical and vocal techniques for delivering a compelling presentation, as well as the skills for speaking confidently in any situation.

But that’s not enough. Because the value of any message is intimately connected with the person delivering it.

You Are The Message

You ARE your message, because your body speaks its mind. People know you through your presence, no matter how much you ignore or suppress your emotional state, and it affects how they connect with you.

So it is essential you eliminate anything that gets in the way of your message, and become more intentional about what story your presence is expressing to others.

And no matter how many skills you learn or how successful you are, somewhere along the journey, your sabotaging beliefs, habits and ineffective practices are likely to get in the way.

When they do, you need to know how to reorganize and replace them, so you can manage overwhelming emotions, break through barriers and shift perspectives and states.

That is why it is important to go beyond technique to learn the principles and practices that help you recognise your habitual response to pressure, change inhibitory and ineffective patterns, and shift from automatic, unconscious reactions to intended action, so you are free to:

• create a new presence that is shaped for action, confidence and success

• manage the emotional demands of the presentation process effectively; from the moment you commit to speak, through the development and the delivery, even when the audience is hostile

• observe how you are perceived by others, and build productive relationships through embodying credibility, trust, and care

• consistently look, feel and sound comfortable and at ease in your own skin, with your own style, speaking with your authentic voice

• have the skilled conversations that minimise conflict, confrontation, error and breakdown and lead to influence, effective action and successful outcomes

Outstanding Performance...And Beyond!

I will coach you to give an outstanding performance that gets results...but you will also find out what is holding you back, and how to express yourself more intentionally, authentically and clearly.

I can do that because I value and work with the somatic, linguistic and emotional experience; how our moods, inner sensations, physical structure, and language choices determine our attitudes, behaviours, and actions, and ultimately impact on our performance.

Coaching that ignores any of these elements can only take you on half the journey.

Good speaking is neither about acting, nor expressing an over-blown charisma. It’s about building a courageous, open presence in which you are comfortable being yourself.

Mastery Coaching is not a quick fix (though you’ll see instant results!), because we work towards lasting change. It's not therapy, or life or career coaching. It doesn’t require you to reflect on the past, it doesn’t require self-criticism, or even modifying or controlling yourself.

It requires discovery of what is natural, and what is conditioned. It requires a willingness to become curious, aware and to allow change. It is a selection of simple practices and observations that make a world of difference.

I am not a faceless training company. You will speak and work with me and I have the flexibility to support you in overcoming your personal communication challenge.
