Session 3 of 4 of the Public Speaking for Beginners course tonight at the beautiful State Buildings in Perth CBD.
I’m buzzing for the guys as the growth has been unreal.

This session focused on bringing the message to life.
We have so much more tools than words to share our message and connect with the audience
We jave our
• body language
• facial expression
• vocal tone
• energy
• presence

We spoke about how to be intentional with the version of ourselves needed to deliver our message and the alignment between the message and the person delivering it and not from canned techniques.

Some moments were funny.
Some powerful.
And some people genuinely surprised themselves once they slowed down, connected, and allowed themselves to actually feel what they were saying.

The fellas done an amazing job tonight.

And Id like to acknowledge how much courage it takes to show up after work and willingly step outside their comfort zone.👏

This session everyone spoke for 2 mins and next session is the final session with 5-minute speeches.

You can definitely feel the nerves, excitment and confidence building all at the same time now.

That’s the process.
Confidence grows from competence.
And competence grows from doing

Week 2 of 4 of the Public Speaking for Beginners course done at the beautiful State Buildings.

I take my hat off to everyone who showed up after a full day of work and invested time into themselves and to learn how to speak in public.

This week was all about helping people stop rambling, structure their thoughts clearly, and communicate in a way that feels natural, calm, and relatable.

We focused on a tried and tested structure that can be used in almost every speaking opportunity:
stories, meetings, presentations, wedding speeches, workshops, team talks, or even everyday conversations.

We covered:
• The power of storytelling and simplicity
• The “Power of 3”
• How to organise thoughts and reduce overthinking
• How to connect with different audiences in a more human way

Then everyone put it into action with a short 1 minute talk in front of the group.

One of the biggest things I try to remind people:
Confidence often comes from competence.

The more small pieces of evidence we build that we can actually do something, the easier it becomes for the brain to believe it next time.

Buzzing to see everyone becoming more relaxed, clearer, and more confident in only week 2.
Happy days 😊

You don’t need to have the perfect words to support someone struggling.

Sometimes it’s simply:
Are you okay?
How can I help?
I’m here.

Spent the last 2 days delivering Mental Health First Aid at Grounded with an awesome group of people.

Big thanks to Katie Doyle for organising everything and to the grounded team and guys from who were fantastic throughout the course as well.

A really good reminder that kindness, listening, and simply showing up for people can make a bigger difference than we realise 😊

“Imagine a world where no man faces prostate cancer alone.”

That message really stayed with me after a recent workshop with the fantastic crew at PCaHELP.

One thing that stood out was the incredible work these support groups do.
Creating spaces where men and families feel supported, connected, and not alone during incredibly difficult times.

Some of the statistics shared really hit home.

In Australia, around 1 in 5 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of 85.
So if you know 6 men… statistically one will be affected.
Your dad. Your brother. Your mate.

The encouraging part is this… when caught early, prostate cancer is highly treatable.

And despite what a lot of blokes still think, the finger test is not usually the first step.
A simple PSA blood test is often the first step.

Please go and get checked, or encourage the men in your life to.

Big thank you to Ken Bezant and everyone at PCaHELP for the amazing work you continue to do supporting men and families.

Not everything needs your energy.

I delivered the Take Charge workshop along with de-escalation and communication training at Australia ’s regional Bunbury depot.

The fellas were very welcoming and got really involved.

A couple of key takeaways
From Take Charge
A lot of the stress we carry comes from our imagination either replaying the past or worrying about the future.

Most of the time, for me it doesn’t turn out the way I imagined anyway.

Bringing ourself back to the here and now through simple mindfulness can help manage with that.

From de-escalation
Not every insult, cross word, or bit of aggression needs your energy or a response.
You don’t have to pick up everything that’s thrown your way or your bags become pretty have pretty quick.

Thanks again to the team for having me in.
We had a good laugh together and really appreciate the way everyone got stuck into it.🙏

Up coming public speaking workshop.

I avoided public speaking for years.
Missed opportunities.
Kept quiet in meetings.
Even on my own wedding day, I couldn’t fully enjoy the day because I was so nervous about giving my speech
So I did something about it.
I learned how to speak in public.
Step by step.
And now, I do it for a living.
Not because I’m naturally gifted.
Because I learned the skill and I want to share the skills and the science behind it with you.
That’s exactly why I created this.
A 4-week, beginner-friendly public speaking course for every day people.
It’s not about being perfect.
Or being as good as Obama.

It’s about being able to:
Speak up in meetings
Give a clear presentation at work
Deliver a wedding speech you’re proud of.
Stop overthinking and actually enjoy it… or at least walk away thinking that wasn’t as bad as I thought.

We build confidence week by week.

Week 1 — manage nerves and deliver a 30-second talk
Week 2 — structure your message and speak for 1 minute
Week 3 — delivery, presence, and a 2-minute talk
Week 4 — bring it all together with a 5-minute talk
Confidence comes from competence.
And this gives you both.

If this sounds like something for you… this could genuinely change how you show up in life, like it did for me.

We kick off May 11th
5:30pm to 7:00pm
State Buildings, Perth CBD

$299 for all 4 sessions

Spots are limited to keep it personal (just a heads up February sessions sold out quickly.)

Back with ATCO Australia , another great session on communication and de-escalation.

Plenty of learning, sharing storie and a few laughs.

We can’t control what other people think or feel or sometimes the reason why they may feel a certain way
but we can take full accountability for how we respond.

Sometimes thats not choosing to engage in any conflict .
Sometimes that’s choosing our words carefully.
And sometimes, it’s knowing when to step away and take ourselves away from the situation.

Appreciate the crew for getting involved and being open to learning, made for great session!😊

Back in City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder recently revisited the hostel which had a big part of my journey in Australia.

I was a 30 years old immigrant. Totally new to Australia. Knew not one single soul and needed regional work for a second-year visa.

Landed a job as a drillers offsider.
Sleeping in a swag for up to 5 weeks.
Up at 4am 10-11 hr shifts.
Working in that Jan/Feb WA heat with no shade but the rig.

I enjoy the physical things although days were tough it was also simple.
Good blokes, cards, beers a few laugh.

Now I head back there for different reason.
Delivering workshops. Working with teams. Helping people take charge of their wellbeing.
Same place. Different life and perspective.

I’m not saying this to be preachy… just reflecting on it.
We’re probably not as stuck as we sometimes feel.
Things can change.
Careers, directions, even how we see ourselves.
Not saying you should change anything…
But you can, if you want to.

Sometimes it starts small.
A course. A conversation. A decision.

You don’t need it all figured out.
Just start somewhere.😊

Out in of Kalgoorlie-Boulder for a few days delivering de-escalation and communication training, along with some simple tools to help manage overthinking and get a better night’s rest.

The crew at ATCO were fantastic. Really engaged, got stuck in, and made the sessions what they were.

Had the chance to visit one of the largest open pit mines you can see from space… and also the world’s biggest bin. Still not sure if the bin chickens are just as big 😉

A really good few days well spent!
