Managing Nerves & Confidence Boost

Girl with Arms Stretched Out

You've prepped your speech & slides, you're ready . It's time. Then suddenly, the nerves take over - your body and voice shake, your brain goes into a foggy panic, you feel hot. All you can think about is getting through it and surviving...

​

If that feels all too familiar (I've definitely been there) then I've got a wealth of techniques, skills and tips to help combat those nerves and leave you feeling confident, grounded and in control.  You'll learn to:

  • manage your breathing

  • calm your fight or flight response

  • understand why you're nervous

  • conquer your fears

  • build your self worth

  • communicate with warmth and joy

  • speak clearly and assertively

  • use your body to boost confidence

  • choose your mindset 

  • take back control of your performance

I truly believe that nerves can be conquered, confidence is always there to be bolstered and mindsets can be learnt so that we stay in control.

 

I offer 1:1 coaching as well as group workshops.

1:1
Coaching

I know that, for many clients, Public Speaking can be intimidating, so sessions are always run in a friendly, encouraging and warm manner. We work at your pace and the coaching is tailored to your individual needs.

If you are preparing for a particular speech or presentation, I will guide you through my unique process - each step building on the last, so that by the end you'll feel confident, not only in your communication skills, but also in your ability to create impact and engage a crowd.

If you're preparing for interviews or don't have a particular speech in mind, we will work through a variety of speech and communication techniques that you can use to give your voice impact and confidence, both in work & in life.

Group
Workshops

Group workshops can vary, depending on client requirements, but usually they'll include a presentation from myself, workshopping/ role play with other members of the group (often in pairs) and group discussions.

Group workshops are led with a playful, exploratory approach, meaning you will not only learn my best techniques & tips, but you'll also get the opportunity to try them out and see what works for you.

I pride myself on creating a safe and comfortable environment in which to challenge yourself, try new things and grow your confidence.

You'll leave buzzing with fresh approaches and a great excitement to put your new skills into practice!

Young Voices
(7-19)

For LAMDA coaching, you can just turn up, with a desire to learn & work hard - I will guide you through everything step by step.

I'll assist you in selecting and preparing appropriate pieces/ topics, we'll work on your performance/ speaking skills and ensure you're comfortable answering set questions. I'm here to make sure you feel confident and prepared for the exam.

If we're preparing you for interviews, I'm here to help you bring your best self into the interview room and communicate your knowledge and passion effectively. 

We'll work through all sorts of vocal and body language techniques to help you engage the panel. I'll also equip you with tips and mindsets to reduce nerves and boost confidence, so you can really shine on the day. 

If you have any other questions, book a free Discovery Call HERE or drop me an email at info@stepupvocalcoaching.co.uk - I'd love to answer them for you!
