Coaching · Executives, managers and entrepreneurs

Public speaking coaching

Speak with confidence in front of a board, a team, investors or a full room. We work first on what happens inside you, before what shows on stage.

We use neuroscience and cognitive-behavioural approaches (CBT) to uproot the fear of public speaking.

Human first!

Do you recognise this situation?

The warning signs

Stage fright paralyses you before every important talk
You know your subject, but you lose your composure in front of an audience
Other people’s gaze makes you doubt yourself as soon as you start speaking
You avoid opportunities to speak: meetings, pitches, media, conferences
A bad past experience comes back whenever you have to speak
You have already learned the techniques, but the fear is still there

Who is it for?

Executives and business owners
Managers and senior staff
Entrepreneurs and project founders

Ahead of a speech, a pitch, a general meeting, a new position or a media appearance.

What sets us apart

Public speaking training or coaching: the difference

Training teaches you how to speak well. Coaching frees the person who speaks.

Public speaking training

It passes on the techniques of public speaking.

Structure a speech and a message
Work on voice, eye contact and gestures
Practise in a group, on a shared programme
Result: you know how to do it

Public speaking coaching

It transforms the speaker’s inner state.

Go back to the roots of the fear and defuse them
Break the psychological and mental barriers that hold you back
Rebuild self-confidence and self-esteem
Progress in one-to-one sessions, starting from your own story
Result: you are in a state to do it, even under pressure

The two complement each other: technique gives you the means, coaching removes what stops you from using them.

Our tool of choice

Neuroscience and cognitive-behavioural approaches, to break mental barriers

Fear of public speaking and fear of other people’s judgement are alarm reactions of the brain, often learned very early: in childhood, or during an unpleasant situation that damaged confidence and self-esteem. What the brain has learned, it can relearn. With neuroscience and the practices of cognitive-behavioural approaches (gradual desensitisation, cognitive restructuring), we help you break your psychological and mental barriers, face public speaking with courage and determination, and bring the best version of yourself to it.

How it works

A 4-step approach

We start from your own history with public speaking and your real deadlines, and we measure what has changed at the end.

Practical arrangements

Strictly confidential one-to-one sessions
Work on your real speaking situations: meeting, pitch, speech, interview
Exercises to put into practice between sessions
In person in Douala or online

Diagnosis

An interview to understand your history with public speaking and set your goals.

Intervention

One-to-one sessions, paced to your deadlines.

Measurement

A review to put objective figures on the progress made.

Follow-up

A follow-up meeting to anchor the changes.

What you gain

Concrete results

A fear addressed at its root
Self-confidence that holds in front of any audience
Clear messages, delivered with presence and conviction
A leader’s voice that engages your teams, clients and partners

Coaching does not replace medical or psychological care where this is needed.
