Philippa Hammond

Whether you need to speak for leadership, training and business, performance and social occasions, education, employability or as a great new life skill, I can help.

The ancient Greeks knew a thing or two about public speaking. They recognised that an audience needs to like, trust and understand you before they’ll start listening to you.

And they knew about ‘glossophobia, or ‘tongue terror’ – the fear of public speaking.

Me too. I’m standing on stage about three quarters of the way through the first ever performance of my first solo show. And then something terrifying happens. A voice in my head starts saying ‘You can’t do this. You don’t know your lines. They don’t like you.’ I freeze, my mind goes blank – and I walk off stage.

That could have been it for me as an actor. But the next night I went on – and I did it. And the audience came back. And the next year we took the show to Edinburgh, to four star reviews.

I beat the fear – and so can you.

Now I combine my pro actor / voice artist skills with my corporate learning and development consultancy experience in my Confident Public Speaking training.

I’ll share the secrets actors, speakers and trainers have used for centuries to deal with nerves and develop confidence, feel, look and sound better, and craft and deliver a great message about you and your business to any audience.

Simple, straightforward – anyone can learn, with Speaking Well In Public.

The benefits of Confident Public Speaking skills

What they’re saying

‘Feel much better about presenting … Fantastic … I can’t wait to put it into practice … Exceeded all expectations … A great day with Philippa @TalkingSpeaking learning something different!’

[Received later:] ‘ My day with you continues to pay off. On Friday I organised a Dispute Resolution Seminar for about 60 lawyers. We had speakers from all over plus some very eminent High Court Judges. I did not even get nervous this time, after all after the National Conference with over 500 delegates, why would I?!?!’

Sharon Kay, Partner Kay & Pascoe LLP @SharonLKay

‘…. I highly recommend Philippa to anyone who would like to speak confidently and well in public.”

Claire Griffin, Claire Griffin Talent Ltd

” … thank you for the help with my recent public speaking foray … I don’t think the speech could have gone better … I had some lovely comments afterwards from people I really respect, who asked how I was so calm”

A presentation skills masterclass

Professional, experienced speakers preparing to deliver:

High-stakes presentations and keynote speeches

Pitches for business, funding, contracts and clients

Yes, great content is vital – you may have prepared a slick PowerPoint, beautiful brochures and all your facts and figures neatly presented – but have you considered your delivery style?

People buy from people – not from PowerPoints or pretty pictures.

The way you present your material, how you look and how you sound, will affect and influence their response to your message.

Your masterclass includes:

A dress rehearsal, a practical dry run of your prepared presentation, pitch or workshop material to an independent impartial consultant

Honest, respectful, constructive feedback on how your material and your team will look and sound to your prospective client

The chance to identify any snags while there’s still time to fine tune, polish and enhance your material and professional, credible delivery style.

If it’s worth presenting – it’s worth polishing first.

Video confidence case study

Philippa Hammond

How I helped a client find his video confidence

He’d had a major shift from a public service role to the health and beauty world, including membership organizations, and how needed to boost and polish his public speaking in person, on camera and online.

After much research he found me – and as he wanted to support a local provider, requested a clarity call.

He explained that although he was very confident in conversation and in business situations, on camera was a different matter.

He felt he just didn’t do justice to himself, coming across in an unnatural and disengaging way. And he wanted to do something about that, to be ready to show up on video to speak to his industry.

Nerves, uncertainty, lack of practice and unhappiness with results so far were the main issues.

Together we planned a personal development programme of five online 1-1 sessions, covering

Nerves and confidence building

Personal impact – looking and sounding good on screen

Planning and preparing a video shoot

A Learning to Love Linkedin session

Practical video making assignment

Now video is a major part of his personal and professional presentation skills, helping him to speak to his industry with clarity, confidence and credibility.

Selfie masterclass

Philippa Hammond

How to feel pleased with how you look in your phone selfies!

Top tips and no £££ kit coming up.

🌟Look – just as you like.

I like hair conditioned, bit of makeup, nice top, earrings. You do you.

🌟Light – have the light source behind your phone (not to your side or above you) for the most flattering professional result.

The window’s fine.

Dazzling sun can cause squinting.

🌟Height – hold it with the lens at eye level or just a little above, and never below your eye level.

This helps prevent eye bags, double chins and jowls …

Too high though and you’ll look childlike and neckless.

🌟Sight – look at or ‘through’ the lens, and not at your own picture.

Makes you connect directly with your audience.

An interesting gaze over there can work, too.

🌟Find your best space – Spin around and take loads and compare the results.

You’ll find one angle is the 🌟. Remember it and use again.

🌟Expression – I like smile!

Practise different expressions til you know which gives the look you like.

🌟Arms – Beware the squished shoulder and big-arm selfie look.

Hold it as far away as you can, while keeping shoulders looking natural.

🌟Polish – learn to edit on your phone.

Crop, frame, remove the toilet sign, lose the spot – all perfectly allowable!

Snapseed, a handy little phone ap, has a Portrait button which really makes a difference.

🌟Opportunity – anywhere.

Cafes, countryside, posh venues, sightseeing – grab those opportunities wherever you go and you’ll have a great little gallery for your posts, banners and blogs.

🌟Have fun.

Philippa

Feel better when you speak

Philippa Hammond

If you’re faced with giving a presentation 😥 at work, three ways to boost your confidence coming up

🌟Start now.

Putting it off will make it feel worse. And the more time you devote to thinking & planning, writing and rehearsing it the more confident you’ll feel.

🌟Think ‘audience’.

Where are they now, where do they need to be, what’s their problem and what do you have to offer that will help them resolve their problem?

Shifting the spotlight off you and how you feel and shining it where it needs to be – on the people you’re going to help – will focus and calm your thinking.

🌟Know what you want your presentation to cause.

Whether you’re delivering training, a motivational speech, a pitch, an interview presentation etc doesn’t matter.

You want something to be different at the end.

They’ve learned to DO something new.

They’re inspired to do something.

They’re sparked into giving you the role. Or the contract.

Stating what you’re setting out to achieve and what difference it will make to your audience helps you get clear about what you’re doing.

👏All the best!

Public speaking tips: 2

Philippa Hammond

What’s your USP? Your area of expertise?

Yesterday, I recommended a personal skills and achievements audit to help build your confidence.

🌠Now consider this – chances are, in any given group, you’re going to be the expert on something.

Because you’ve been there, done that, screwed up, learned, made it through – and can give them a helping hand up.

What’s your area of expertise?

It’s a unique combination that’s part of your brand.

That thing they need, where you can help.

What’s your Unique Selling Point?

Once you’ve identified that, things start looking clearer, and you’ll start feeling better about getting up to speak.

Another tip soon.

Public speaking tips: 1

Philippa Hammond

Take a GOOD look at yourself!

So many hesitate to step through those opening doors of opportunity, because of public speaking nerves! Sound familiar?

New leadership role, new job, new business, big presentation or pitch looming … and new public speaking duties causing sleepless nights and a bit of the old impostor syndrome?

If that’s you and your nerves are holding you back, here’s a thought process to follow.

Tip 1: 🌠Take a good (and I mean GOOD) look at yourself.

Your CV, your LinkedIn profile, every qualification, experience and skill you bring to the stage.

Everything you’ve ever achieved, been proud of, been thanked for.
That’s the bedrock you stand on, like a lighthouse standing on firm ground amid the swirling.

Review that in your mind every time the old ‘who do you think you are??’ self sabotaging voice kicks in.

Another tip tomorrow.

After only a couple of teaching sessions, my public speaking performance and gravitas were greatly improved.

Philippa complements this with a broad skill-set and knowledge base, enabling her to advise in other areas too, including social media.

On top of that, Philippa’s teaching style is extremely friendly and supportive.’
