Conferences I’ve Coached for
What to expect from my coaching
My coaching is practical, tailored, and focused on making every speaker better, ensuring your conference lineup delivers high-quality, engaging presentations. Whether speakers need to refine an existing talk, structure a brand-new one, or improve specific skills like managing nerves, my approach adapts to their individual needs.
I don’t follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum. Instead, I assess each speaker individually, focusing on the biggest opportunities for growth. This keeps the coaching efficient, relevant, and impactful—helping every speaker deliver their best possible presentation.
Every speaker has a unique style and personality, and a key part of my coaching is helping them embrace and refine that style—not forcing them into a formulaic approach. The goal is to help speakers feel confident, authentic, and fully prepared when they step on stage.
I provide direct, honest, and constructive feedback in a way that’s encouraging and actionable. The result? A stronger, more polished lineup of speakers and an event where every session engages the audience and leaves a lasting impact.
The practical stuff
I work with speakers in the months or weeks leading up to the conference - the time frame depends on how well in advance I’m involved (the sooner, the better).
Typically give speakers 1 to 3 sessions via Zoom depending on how much help they need and how experienced they are.
Some speakers need a good deal of help with everything from structure and slide design to delivery (typically new speakers).
More experienced speakers might only need a session to get hep with e.g. tweaking their presentation to the specific audience at the conference.
The conference organizers pays me and then the speakers get the coaching as value-add and free offer. In my experience most speakers jump at the chance to work with an experienced speaker coach.
I’m happy to jump on a call with you and chat about your conference and how I can help.
Prices:
My starting point is €130 per session (1 hour), but I can offer a better rate if there are more than 10 speakers. If ou give me the details, I’ll make you a custom quote.
