As coaches, we often tell clients that growth happens outside the comfort zone and sometimes, we need to walk the talk ourselves. For me, that’s been public speaking.
Last week, during our Diwali-themed Toastmasters meeting, I had the honour of stepping in as Acting President for the evening. Just a week earlier, I was the Toastmaster of the Evening for our “Magic Words” theme.
When I first joined Toastmasters, I was shy and unskilled speaking in front of a crowd. Even as a coach running one-to-one sessions and group workshops, this felt scary.
Standing there, welcoming guests and leading the evening, I realised how far I’ve come — and yes, I genuinely enjoyed myself!
This is what I love sharing through coaching: helping professionals build confidence, find their voice, and show up authentically.
💡 If something is holding you back, whether in meetings, presentations, or life, coaching + practice can be a powerful duo to step forward and grow.
Reach out if you’d like to explore how coaching can help you move from where you are to where you truly wish to be — or if your organisation is looking for a speaker on coaching, leadership, mindset, or communication.
