Back in March, I embarked on a new challenge as a public speaker onboard a luxury cruise ship. As some of you already know, this is, or rather was, way out of my comfort zone, the very thought of it filled me with fear.
However, I was determined to overcome this fear and managed to deliver 7 different 45-minute presentations about my commissions as a photographer, as well as other subjects I needed to research and learn about to match the photographs I had taken, such as the history of Malta and Barbados – ports we were due to visit.
I returned from the cruise rather earlier than expected and went straight into lockdown, which meant my photography commissions were put on hold and my restless mind was looking for other challenges – this was the turning point that encouraged me to use my time wisely.
Which brings me onto the very soon to be launched shiny new website to introduce 'The Toucan Agency' – a vibrant personal service to teach confidence and enjoyment in the ability to speak in front of an audience without feeling daunted.
In collaboration with my friend, the effervescent and highly acclaimed public speaker Helen Pointer (on the left) – who taught and guided me during the process – she really is amazing! We are now offering our experience for all to benefit from to empower you in front of an audience, no matter how large or small.
Feel free to follow us on Instagram and Facebook @thetoucanagency and Twitter @AgencyToucan
I will be back very soon with more information, please feel free to post your comments, we'd love to hear from you.
