How We Work

How Does Cool Calm and Connected help me?

Expected Results

When you work with Cool, Calm & Connected, you can expect to transform the way you feel about yourself on a deeper level, as well as the way you speak and present yourself in public.

  • Nervous clients who once avoided speaking, learn to connect with their inner strength and their audience, to confidently accept opportunities to speak and be heard.
  • Polished speakers who feel or appear to be confident, learn to connect more deeply with a powerful presence and authenticity which is attractively compelling to audiences.
  • Entrepreneurs who use public speaking as a strategy to grow their business and confidence, attract more clients, reach a wider audience and develop new income streams such as running workshops, teleclasses, creating DVD's and getting paid for speaking.
  • Leaders and social activists who want to inspire positive change, assume greater responsibility in their personal, professional and community life to speak out for what they truly believe is important, delivering a passionate coherent message that inspires action.
  • Authentic voice seekers, needing to be true to themselves, develop their intuitive intelligence and self confidence to articulate what they want with clarity, direction and purpose.
  • Clients who want all the above! Most clients start with one thing and end up with everything.
How Do We Do It?

My approach with clients is body-centred - that is, I assist clients to reconnect, trust and listen to what their body tells them, not their mind. This is a great way to focus on what is working well, rather than dwell on fears. Clients describe my approach as "heart-opening" and "playful".

Whether private coaching, group workshop or online, we have an interactive, ongoing conversation together, peppered with lots of listening and practical stuff like brainstorming, mind mapping, role playing, impromptu and prepared speaking, exercises, working with your body as a resource, writing, drawing and relaxation exercises.

What Makes Our Approach Different & Why It Gets Results

Cool, Calm & Connected's "softly, softly" approach is described as the "polar opposite" to standard public speaking programs. We give all clients a safe space to find their unique voice.

I assist clients to cultivate deeper self awareness through a blend of breathing and mindfulness techniques with speaking and self expression confidence. This enables clients to become fully present with themselves, groups and one on one, every time they speak.

Coaching programs and group workshops are designed to promote inner work - developing the whole person, mind, body and spirit. For this reason, workshops numbers are always kept small so every one has a chance to be heard and feel safe.

I believe that communicating from the heart, fully present with other human beings, allows acceptance, understanding and connection to happen seemingly without effort. There is a sense of "oneness" which is healing for all - speakers and listeners. The ability to connect with others is radiantly attractive to all people. It is the defining characteristic of great leaders and speakers …and human beings.
