Research has shown than people are more afraid of public speaking than they are of dying. Which basically means that at a funeral, people would rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy!

I, on the other hand, am dying for opportunities to speak to you on anything from Anger Management and Assertiveness to getting enough ZZZZZZZ’s.

I'd like to inspire you to develop your YOU-Q and find your Inner Winner!

My Style & Approach

I believe there are four things which make me unique and different from other speakers. These are:

  • My particular combination of professional qualifications
  • My message
  • My authenticity
  • The way I present my talks

My particular combination of Professional Qualifications:

  • Teacher
  • Psychologist
  • Executive and Life Coach
There are very few speakers who have my combination of academic and professional qualifications. What I have to say comes from a combination of academic researchand theory, as well as my life’s experiences. I also belong to two international speakers’ organisations, which ensures that I stay up to date with professional speaking styles and trends, and enables me to continually hone my skills as a speaker. These qualifications and memberships give me a solid foundation as a speaker - I am knowledgeable on, and thoroughly research, my topics. And I do know what I am talking about!

My message:“You already have everything you need to live a Be-YOU-tiful life. Just believe it, and go for it!”

My message is unique because it is about YOU-Q - a unique term that I developed, and which refers to our own unique intelligence, creativity and wisdom. It encompasses our belief in our own worth, being uniquely you, and the way we interact with others.

I inspire people to find the courage they need to hone their creativity, improve their personal skills, and grab the opportunities that come their way. In other words I inspire and help people to rediscover their YOU-Q.

Claire – A unique person:

I am an ardent believer in following my own unique path - and unique it has indeed been. I have embraced opportunities that have come my way and as a result have travelled widely and enjoyed a variety of extremely diverse experiences.

I live my dreams and walk my talk. I already do what I encourage others to do - and I inspire my audiences to do the same.

The way I present:

My approach is always professional, but at the same time is light, engaging and warm. I have the capacity to take complex issues and subject matter, and present it in a way that is easy to understand and accessible to all. My talks are always easy to follow, and jargon and terminology – if used at all – are well explained. Nothing is lost in translation!

I engage with the individuals who come to listen to my presentations – they are not just ‘an audience’. I am humble and deeply respectful towards each person present. I am a passionate student of life, and my clients and audiences teach and inspire me, just as I teach and inspire them.

When presenting to small groups I prefer an interactive approach – engaging with those present and dealing with questions as they arise. With large groups, I adapt my style and approach as required.

By now you will have realised how I stand out from the crowd, so if you want me to do a talk for your group, organisation or company, speak to me so I can speak to you!
