PASS THE MIC

LET ME HELP YOU BECOME AN INFLUENTIAL SPEAKER

JOIN MY 6 WEEK COACHING PROGRAMME FOR WOMEN

If someone had told me at school that being able to articulate myself verbally would have the biggest impact on my confidence, earning power and ability to influence others, I would have practised EVERY DAY.

  

In my experience, it's rare to find workplaces that delivers adequate training on how to talk about our ideas, beliefs, values or desires, in a way that makes others sit up and take notice. I had to learn by doing: after three years with Be More Pirate  I’ve delivered almost 100 talks, online and off - from corporate execs to ambulance services, and I want to share all the tools that have helped me along the way. 


It doesn't matter if you have no aspirations to public speaking - improving your verbal communication has a significant impact on daily interactions like speaking up in meetings, resolving conflict, setting boundaries, networking, pitching to potential clients, going for job interviews, or talking about the causes that matter to you.  


The cost is £320 per person. You'll be joining a small group of women in a safe (but brave) environment where you'll get the chance to test out and practice what you really want to say. The are 4 x 90 minute group calls (+ 1 optional check in call), and roughly 2 hours of self study per week. 


More information, including a week by week breakdown, in the PDF overview below.

"Alex changed the way I feel about public speaking and reframed it as something that feels much more authentic. She helped me overcome some blockers and made me feel empowered to speak up. She was great to work with and no nonsense, which I really liked. I'd definitely recommend her approach."

THE PROGRAMME WILL COVER:

MANAGING YOUR ENERGY

NAILING YOUR KEY MESSAGES

UNDERSTANDING YOUR STORY

The audience will feel what you feel, whether its 1:1 or 300 people, before saying a word, first you have to get to grips with what your body is saying

UNDERSTANDING YOUR STORY

NAILING YOUR KEY MESSAGES

UNDERSTANDING YOUR STORY

What do you really want to say?  Your unique take on a topic is what gives you the edge,  so we'll uncover where and why you might be self-editing 

NAILING YOUR KEY MESSAGES

NAILING YOUR KEY MESSAGES

NAILING YOUR KEY MESSAGES

The secret to speaking with ease is having your key messages locked down and embedded in your muscle memory - we'll cover how to get there

UNBLOCKING FEAR

IMPROVING YOUR LANGUAGE

NAILING YOUR KEY MESSAGES

Fear is normal and it can be harnessed to improve performance,  but not if we get stuck in the story of past failure or perfectionism    

IMPROVING YOUR LANGUAGE

IMPROVING YOUR LANGUAGE

IMPROVING YOUR LANGUAGE

The devil is in the detail so they say and certain words, used consistently, reduce the clarity, coherence and confidence of our message - time to strip them out 

OWNING YOUR STORY

IMPROVING YOUR LANGUAGE

IMPROVING YOUR LANGUAGE

Finally, putting together a speech: from start to finish - how to hook the audience, create a story arc, prepare visuals and use voice as a platform

All the content will come via audio recordings, so have a listen to this audio version of the brochure to get a taster of the programme.  

ANN STORR, FREELANCE BRAND STRATEGIST:

"I signed up to 'Pass the Mic' because, though I'm thought of as confident and chatty, though I've spoken on panels and talks - even on the BBC's flagship Food Programme - I was still struggling to find my voice. 


And it was more impactful than I could have dreamed. The slow, gentle stream of work allowed me to pace myself; knowing that the course was structured carefully allowed me to feel confident that my sharing of private, intimate and difficult emotions were being honoured by Alex's careful planning. 


My highlights were hearing others talk, and receiving their feedback. One woman shared a difficult story about public speaking; immediately afterwards she was beaming and relieved. Reading my peer's feedback on my talks allowed me to believe: I have something helpful to say, it's worth sharing. 


Now I'm posting weekly on LinkedIn, and my first pOst? Over 7,000 views (up from around 300-600). I've started offering free 1:1 brand chats to underserved groups, I'm volunteering with a prestigious group and I'm working out how I can scale this to share my story and grow my business. 


Run, don't walk. Sign up."
