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…

One of the best investments in personal development I had at BP was to engage Simon Bucknall as a personal public speaking coach. He was phenomonal and key to my moving from being a very nervous public speaker to a strong and confident one.
