“Mel was our speaker coach for TEDx Portobello providing 1-2-1 support for 8 speakers and 2 comperes, in addition to running a masterclass to an audience of 30 people. I was blown away by her professionalism, experience, and real care for helping people tell their story in the best possible way. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and fully recommend her to others.”

How do you answer the question “What do you do?” Do you struggle to define exactly what it is that you do in a way that engages and interests people and leads to further conversation?

In this session we’ll develop your conversational pitch (the short answer to the question “What do you do?”) as well as your longer ‘elevator’ pitch (one to three minutes depending on your requirements) so you can speak about what you do clearly, confidently and credibly.

Includes a free copy of Mel’s book "The Authority Guide to Pitching Your Business: How to make an impact and be remembered… in under a minute!"

**Available online via Zoom or in person in Edinburgh or North Berwick, Scotland by arrangement

“I continually avoided public speaking for almost 20 years due to lack of confidence, nervousness and feeling outwith my comfort zone. I didn’t realise there were coaches available but then I saw some quality presenters at an event and I realised that with the right coach I could do it too.

As a result of working with Mel I have significantly improved confidence, numerous tips and ideas and a lot less fear of the process. I also have more of a structure to my presentations and recognise the importance of eye contact, stance and what I do with my hands. Mel made it feel natural; I liked her friendly and constructive approach, and she really took the time to understand and listen at the start and throughout.

Recently I had to pitch to two investors on behalf of another company and both investors said they loved it and gave us an offer. I know I’m still far from an expert, but I hope this shows what a great job Mel did! I would not hesitate to recommend Mel and I look forward to working with her more in the future.”
