Breathlessness was the biggest delivery challenge early in my speaking journey - before turning professional.

Best tip I was ever given to remedy…

Tip your chin down, relax the shoulders.

Straightens the airway.

Engages diaphragm.

Firm foundation for the voice.

May not feel like a deep breath, but it is.

Lovely.

For years, ran this drill in the minutes prior to stepping up on stage.

Made such a difference…

 I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective. I was amazed by how effective just one session was. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been. Without any exaggeration, I give all this credit to Simon.
