Different speaking situations create different pressures. Dove Public Speaking provides focused support for people preparing for occasions where clarity, confidence and delivery matter.
Explore the services below or get in touch to discuss what you are preparing for.
01
One-to-One Coaching
Private, tailored sessions built entirely around you — your goals, your challenges, and the moment you're preparing for. Whether that's an interview, a conference, or simply feeling more confident day to day.
Who it is for
Individuals who want private, undivided attention on their own speaking — professionals, students, and anyone who would rather work one to one than in a group.
The speaking situation
Any occasion where you personally have to speak and want to be properly prepared: an interview, a conference talk, a difficult meeting, or everyday situations where nerves get in the way.
What John can help with
- Understanding what you actually need to communicate
- Structuring what you want to say
- Language, pace and delivery
- Rehearsing under realistic pressure
- Managing nerves so they do not take over
02
Presentations & Pitches
Courtroom-tested techniques for executives and founders — structuring a persuasive argument, commanding a room, and handling tough questions without losing your composure.
Who it is for
Founders, executives, leadership teams and anyone presenting when the outcome genuinely matters.
The speaking situation
Investor pitches, board presentations, conference keynotes, media appearances and interviews — high-stakes rooms where clarity and authority decide the result.
What John can help with
- Message, argument and structure
- Audience analysis and objective setting
- Opening and closing
- Authority, presence and delivery
- Questions, challenge and rehearsal under pressure
