Why Coach With David?
David is passionate about helping speakers with a mission share their message with the world. It’s his aim to help promote diversity in speaking because, frankly, too many speakers still look and sound like him.
David has helped clients ranging from charity founders, mumpreneurs, authors, refugees, artists, tour guides, cult escapees (yes really!) and lawyers tell their stories and share messages about important social issues.
David’s clients have amassed thousands of views on their videos, earned their first paid speaking gigs, secured their TEDx talk and spoken for a variety of organisations including the NHS, HMRC, HM Prison Service and Russell Group Universities.
Ije: The Accidental Professional Speaker
After founding a charity, Ije wanted to learn speaking skills to that she could be a better advocate and ambassador, raising awareness of her charities projects and increasing fundraising efforts.
What Ije didn’t realise was that her speaking journey was going to take her so much further.
In the summer of 2020, we worked together on a speech reacting to the murder of George Floyd. This speech struck a cord on Facebook and was picked up by the Black Lives Matter UK website, and posted on their home page.
In addition, she was contacted by an event organiser who offered her £300 (approx $400) to repeat the speech for her organisation.
This kickstarted Ije’s career as a professional speaker, and she now delivered speeches nationally and internationally on the topics of diversity, inclusion and equality.
Sara: Finding the Courage to Tell Her Story
Sara had a secret. Only her closest friends and family knew about it. But she knew that by sharing her experiences, she could help others experiencing the same challenges as her.
Sara revealed to me that she was bipolar, and that she wanted to start sharing her story publicly.
The more we worked together, the more confident Sara became in sharing some of her most raw and painful experiences.
That’s when she told me that she wanted to deliver a speech on suicide, talking about her experiences of suicidal thoughts and behaviour, to help others who thought that was the only solution.
Her speech went viral and became her most watched speech. Sara is now establishing her foundation to help support others experiencing mental health challenges.
Lisa: Escaping Corporate Life To Work On Her Passion
Lisa wants to bring joy to the world. But that was something she didn’t necessarily feel she could do in her old corporate role.
When it came time for Lisa to present, she didn’t feel that enough of her personality was coming through in her speeches. She’s a happy, playful personality, but she felt too often she was in “serious professional” mode.
In our coaching, Lisa found that her personality could come forth in her speeches, without sacrificing any of her effectiveness as a speaker. She’s become much more confident on camera across different virtual platforms.
Being able to speak more confidently and comfortably has helped Lisa to sell more copies of her book, attract more listeners to her podcast, enroll more coaching clients, secure more corporate workshops and even get a role on the team of her local TEDx!
