I&#8217;m not even sure exactly what &#8220;a passion&#8221; is, Let me tell you a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#ecc95e\" class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><em>When I left school, I worked as a welder in the shipyards, I hated it.  I moved to London and worked on building sites for a while, I hated it.  I became a telecommunications engineer, I travelled the world and enjoyed what I did, but at the time, I had no vision that I was doing anyone any real good.  <\/em><br><br><em>I became a social worker, I loved it, but the stress levels didn&#8217;t love me back.  I became a trainer, teaching people computer skills, I loved it.  My boss sent me to a public speaking club, because he was too cheap to pay for a presentation skills course, <strong>something clicked<\/strong>.  The round of applause I received after my first speech, made me realise, that this was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.<br><br>Perhaps I went on a bit of an ego trip.  I became a competitive speaker and have won nearly every recognised speaking contest in the UK.  I loved the crowds, I loved the applause and as you can see from the photo above, I loved collecting the trophies.<br><br>But then something else happened, people recognised my success and my expertise and asked me to help them improve.  <strong>Something else clicked<\/strong>.  Seeing someone, who came to me with little skill, deliver a highly polished presentation was a real buzz.  Getting feedback from people saying their conversion rates had gone up made me feel really proud.<br><br>Finally I had found something that I loved doing, which also made a difference to people.  It wasn&#8217;t just the Public Speaking I enjoyed, Speaker Coaching gave me a massive sense of fulfilment and is now primary business.  If that&#8217;s what a passion is, then <strong><strong>&#8220;<span class=\"has-inline-color\" style=\"color:#0010f9\">I do this because its my passion<\/span>&#8220;<\/strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Having won over 100 competitions, many of them for Speaker Coaching, I can justifiably claim to be among the top coaches and speakers and in the UK.  If you want to benefit from my skills then please get in touch via the <a href=\"http:\/\/bespeak.co.uk\/get-in-touch\/\"><strong>contact page<\/strong><\/a> or call me <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">+44 7785 933 309<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can provide Speaker Coaching to people at any level of expertise, from those who have a deep fear of Public Speaking, right through to those who are already experts but need that extra something to make them stand out from the crowd.<br><br>There is a standard programme which is suited to beginning and intermediate level speakers, and I offer bespoke programmes for the more advance Professional Speakers.  I also offer short focussed coaching sessions to those who have a single purpose, like a wedding speech or a business presentation.<br><br>Everything I do is based around you, so even the standard programme will be tailored to your needs.  This is real coaching and not a video programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many facets to Public Speaking.  Whether it be writing your speech, creating your slides or making the final presentation, I can offer you an existing solution, or design a bespoke programme that directly addresses your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most clients opt for a bespoke coaching service as everyone&#8217;s needs differ.  Speaker Coaching Programmes can last anywhere from a few weeks to a full year, or even longer, if you have an ongoing need.  I can also offer short intense courses for groups or individuals who have a need to learn fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get in touch by phone +44 7785 933 309 or email via the <a href=\"http:\/\/bespeak.co.uk\/get-in-touch\/\">contact page<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Available Now for Online Coaching (and hopefully in person in the very near future) Please get in touch via the contact page or call me +44 7785 933 309 How often do you hear people say &#8211; &#8220;I do this because its my passion&#8220;?
