About Chris: I trained as a Chartered Physiotherapist in London and during that time discovered my dislike for public speaking. With a mixture of sweat, shaking hands and a full body blush, I decided to make a change.

Things progressed so much that in May 2020 I was a double Toastmasters UK public speaking champion.

I changed career and moved into teaching both adults and children the skill of speaking to others. I do this 1-1 and in groups and I’ve worked with individual, business and corporate clients across the globe.

Aside from speaking, I love the outside and relish the planet we live on. I grow vegetables on my allotment and nourish the local slug population with a varied stationary buffet.

Homework for this week:

Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Make a list of beliefs that might be holding you back from speaking confidently (e.g., “I’m not interesting enough,” or “People won’t want to listen to me”). For each belief, write a counterstatement that affirms your value and uniqueness (e.g., “I have valuable experiences to share,” or “My voice is unique and worth hearing”).

Share your counterstatement with us and we will remind you pf it each week! If you’re happy to, be brave and post it on social media, tag us and use the hashtag #reignmaker
