Know you have something important to say, but struggling to find the words or confidence to make a real impact?

 If public speaking fills you with dread, you’re not on your own. Most of us feel that way at some point.   

But here’s the truth – public speaking is a skill you can learn with structure and practice.

The secret to powerful speaking: Content + Style working together

Most people focus on just one element:

  • Content-only approach: Great information, but the delivery doesn’t do it justice. The result? The audience switches off, and you don’t make the impact you want
  • Style-only approach: Engaging delivery, but the message lacks substance or structure. People might remember you, but they don’t take action

But here’s what creates truly powerful communication: 

When you combine compelling content with confident delivery, something magical happens.

Your audience doesn’t just hear information – they’re genuinely engaged, they remember what you said, and they’re inspired to act.

Imagine getting up and feeling cool, calm and collected

Picture this: You know exactly how to structure your message so it flows naturally. You open with confidence, engage your audience immediately, and deliver each point with clarity.

Your pace is perfect. Your gestures feel natural. The audience is engaged, nodding, asking thoughtful questions.

Most importantly, you feel the deep satisfaction of knowing you’ve shared genuine value. You’re not just getting through it – you’re actually enjoying it.

It doesn’t have to be a pipedream.

Introducing Public Speaking with Confidence

Public Speaking with Confidence is my new public speaking course for business professionals. 

It aims to help you develop your speaking style and presentation skills so by the end you have a 15-20 minute talk you feel confident delivering.

In just 3 sessions over 3 weeks, you’ll transform from nervous speaker to more confident and impactful communicator.

You’ll find out how to:

  • Structure your speaking opportunities so they flow well and feel purposeful
  • Relate to your audience in a way that’s engaging, not boring
  • Strike that perfect balance between being informative and being real
  • Feel confident that what you’re sharing actually delivers value to people listening

The tips will help you in a variety of speaking engagements, from networking intros to team presentations to pitches.

Here's what you'll learn

📋 Session 1: Foundation
 

  • Planning and structuring your message so it flows and feels purposeful
  • Confidence-building tips that work from the inside out
  • How to open strong and engage your audience early on, then end with purpose

✍️ Session 2: Craft & delivery
 

  • Writing and editing techniques for maximum impact
  • Hand gestures and presentation skills that enhance your message
  • Finding the right pace and rhythm (no more speaking too fast!)

🎤 Session 3: Practice makes progress

  • Practice in small groups with constructive feedback
  • Handling nerves and building lasting confidence
  • Your roadmap to future speaking opportunities

And how you'll learn

🎯 Small group (Maximum 25 people)

Enough people to practice with and network, but intimate enough for personal attention and real connections.

👥 Supportive practice environment

No throwing you in at the deep end. You’ll build skills progressively in small groups with people who are all in the same boat.

📈 Step by step approach

Each session builds on the last, taking you from nervous beginner to more confident speaker over 3 focused weeks.

“Charlotte is very easy to talk to so I felt able to be honest and ask lots of questions. She put me completely at ease, and I have no hesitation in recommending her. 

I felt she was taking a genuine interest in me and my speaking engagement – Charlotte’s advice was bespoke, not just “off the shelf” tips.”

About your public speaking trainer - Charlotte Davies

I know what it’s like to get sweaty palms and heart racing before speaking in public. There are times when I wanted the floor to swallow me up, but I haven’t let that stop me.

I’ve learned to overcome presentation anxiety and it’s been more than worth it.

Public speaking has opened up amazing opportunities throughout my career and has helped me to build my business.

It means that I can help people at scale, rather than just 1-2-1, and more people know what I do.

Does every presentation or talk always go to plan? Ha! I wish. But I know how to roll with it – and I can share my experiences with you too. 

My credentials:

Conversion Copywriter – I understand how to structure messages that connect and stick

CELTA-trained English Teacher – I’ve taught English in the UK, Italy and Spain, as well online to students in China and Taiwan

TEDx Speaker and Coach – I’ve stood on the famous red dot and helped others to do the same

Business Connector and Event Organizer – I’ve organized 100+ networking events and understand what makes speakers and presentations memorable 

But that’s not all…

When I was Development Manager at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, I regularly spoke to groups, gave presentations, and gave tours to adults and school groups.

And working in PR, I was involved with too many meetings and pitches to mention.

As a business owner, I’ve spoken at events including The Copywriter Club IRL London, Invest Wolverhampton Business Week, Natwest Entrepreneur Accelerator. 

I’ve hosted speaker panels for Wolverhampton IWD Conference and Molineux Meets. And at my monthly Netwalk and Talk events, I give a new presentation every time. 

My approach:

I don’t just teach techniques – I create a safe space where you can practice, make mistakes, and build real confidence.

As both a copywriter and trained teacher, I know how to structure learning so it sticks and how to help you find a speaking style that works and feels good to you.

You don’t need to be perfect. But you need to take the first step

“I’ll be honest — networking and public speaking has always filled me with fear. I made myself go but wasn’t quite sure what to expect from The Networkshop. 

Charlotte made the whole thing feel down-to-earth and intimate and it was great to meet people who had similar reservations! 

Since the session, I’ve already found myself speaking up more in meetings and feeling more confident doing so. That might not sound like much, but for me, it’s a big step. 

Charlotte was brilliant — warm, encouraging, and she created a space where no question was a silly question.”*

Your questions answered

Will there be work to do between the sessions?

By the end of the final session, my aim is for you to have a 15-20 presentation that you’re confident to deliver in public. You can bring an existing presentation to work on or start from scratch, depending on how much time you can afford. 

A lot of confidence lies in preparation, so it’s worthwhile making the time for dedicated practice. It should stand you in good stead for the future.  

What if I’m a complete beginner?

Perfect! This course starts from the ground up. You’ll be learning alongside others who feel exactly the same way you do.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just something to take notes with and a willingness to practice. The more you participate, the more you’ll get out of it. 

Will I be put on the spot?

Nobody will put you on the spot or make you do anything you don’t want to do. However, the aim of the course is to improve your speaking skills and confidence, so you will be encouraged to take part. 

What if I can’t make one session?

Each session builds on the previous one, so attending all three is essential for the full ‘transformation’. We can discuss individual circumstances if needed.

What’s your refund policy?

Full refund available up to one week before the course starts.

I have more questions – how can I contact you?

Email charlotte@charlottethecopywriter.com with any questions. I’m happy to discuss whether this course is right for you.
