Great speakers follow a five-step method: Planning, Preparation, Practice, Performance, and Passion.

• Planning means defining your goal, audience, and key message before anything else.
• Preparation ensures your content flows and supports your main point.
• Practice helps you refine timing, tone, and transitions.
• Performance refers to how you engage the room using presence and pacing.
• Passion conveys genuine enthusiasm that audiences can feel.

Together, these five steps form a repeatable method for any presentation.

Expect to pay approximately £31/h for an hour of speech coaching in Edinburgh.

This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• The complexity of what you want to achieve (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• Your coach's background and track record (industry credentials, years of practice, client testimonials)
• How long and how often you meet (single sessions, weekly blocks, or intensive packages)
• Format of the coaching (face-to-face, video call, or hybrid)

Booking a block of sessions often brings the hourly rate down and keeps you accountable.

Public speaking anxiety, or glossophobia, ranks among the most common fears, impacting an estimated 75% of the population.

This fear triggers a stress response: your heart races, palms sweat, and thoughts scatter.

Most people develop this fear through embarrassing moments, social pressure, or simply avoiding opportunities to speak.

With the right techniques, that 75% statistic does not have to define your experience.
