Meet Lewis
I bring over thirty years of experience in the performing arts—working as an actor, writer, director, and producer—to my work with clients.
I have worked with both established professional actors and emerging artists undergoing tertiary training, and I thrive on the challenges of finding ways to have each and every individual bring their words to life, to engage their audience, and to tell a story.
The same principles and techniques I have worked with throughout my career have direct application to empowering you to become the public speaker you want to become.
I am an active member of SouthBank Toastmasters, and in 2022 and 2023 was awarded First Place in the Brisbane District Humorous Speech Contest.
But Effective Public Speaking is not about me!
As a public speaking coach, I have one focus – getting you the results you want.

His class is always fun, interactive and I learnt so much after each session.
I have been enjoying my time with Lewis. From someone who is afraid to stand in front of the crowd to someone who is quite comfortable to speak in front of a group of people, I have seen great improvement in my public speaking since joining Lewis' class in 2023. I will highly recommend Lewis to people who want to improve their public speaking.

Brisbane's Leading Public Speaking Coach
Do you struggle with public speaking?
Can you get through a presentation but feel like you can do better?
Do you sometimes make excuses or find ways to avoid public speaking?
Ever find yourself unable to answer even the simplest questions in the workplace?
Imagine having the confidence to deliver a presentation and have the audience listen intently and take you seriously…
The Effective Public Speaking Method Will Help You...
The Effective Public Speaking Method is suitable for both inexperienced and possibly nervous newcomers who are ready to face their fears, as well experienced speakers who want to take their speaking to the next level.
You might be one of those people who doesn’t like their voice or feels that it is ‘unattractive’ – an opinion that is rarely accurate! Or you may simply take your voice for granted!
Find Your Voice
SOLUTIONS
The Effective Public Speaking Method introduces you to the amazing combination of breath, resonance and articulation that is your voice, reconnecting you with your authentic voice and its untapped power to grab your audience’s attention and have them with you from start to finish!
Build Confidence in Your Physicality
Becoming the centre of attention can often see you feeling awkward, unsure if you are standing the right way or making the right gestures. And the more you start to worry about this, the more it distracts you and your audience!
SOLUTIONS
You will work on creating an organic connection between these elements and your body, as well as directly addressing any distracting habits!
Just as with the acquisition of any new skill set, it can take time to integrate all the elements. And this is something that only comes with practice. Which is why the Effective Public Speaking focuses so heavily on getting up and doing it!
Bring It All Together
SOLUTIONS
Every program is designed to give you plenty of time to work on the practical application of your new skills, mostly with content that has direct application to the achievement of your public speaking goals.
In addition, fortnightly drop-in sessions give plenty of opportunities to simply get used to speaking in front of people!
I expand on the subject of ‘nerves’ in The Effective Public Speaking Method, as it is something that impacts on almost every client to some extent – and in many cases, it prevents them from realising their potential!
Harness Your Nerves
SOLUTIONS
Unlike other public speaking coaches I do not offer tips and tricks.
By understanding your instrument and focusing on why you are speaking, you are able to focus on speaking deliberately, harnessing your nervous every to fuel the effective delivery of your message.

"Lewis helped me set my professional tone"
Working with Lewis not only was an absolutely nurturing educational experience but also extremely delightful and humorous. I am someone who aims to work in the legal field, which is an industry with high expectations on public speaking and interpersonal skills. Knowing this ultimate goal, Lewis offered a goal-centred and value-oriented approach for fostering my speaking abilities. We engaged in multiple exercises that involved controlling my breathing, confidently moving around an environment, and using different types of vocal expressions. Thank you deeply!

"Deliver with more impact and authority"
I've been speaking for some time now and even attend Toastmasters, but knew I could enhance my skills. I wanted to polish how I presented to be more professional and engaging. Lewis began by helping me re-construct my message. He helped me remove the unnecessary pieces and left me with a clear, engaging and humorous speech to deliver. He then taught me how to deliver with more impact and authority which is so valuable. I loved working with Lewis and would recommend working with him if you are looking at improving how you speak and deliver presentations.
Mindset and Performance Coach
Property Mastermind
I’ve done several public speaking training courses in my career, but they really don’t compare to working 1 to 1 with a dedicated coach such as Lewis.
I've enjoyed working with Lewis over the past couple of months. I'd highly recommend that someone who's looking to improve their public speaking engage Lewis's service.

Essential training for everyone!
Lewis is awesome to work with. I found his approach is fun, effective, and personalised. Every professional would benefit from his expertise to captivate audiences of diverse backgrounds. Thank you, Lewis.

Why The Effective Public Speaking Method?
“Perfect communication implies a balanced quartet of intellect and emotion; body and voice – a quartet in which no one instrument compensates with its strength for the weakness of another.” - Dr Kristin Linklater ‘Freeing the Natural Voice’.
In your day-to-day conversations you probably have no difficulty coordinating the many elements that help you to get your message across, but put you into a ‘public speaking context’ and it’s a different story . . . that is possibly why you are here!
By working with The Effective Public Speaking Method, you gain an organic understanding of each of the elements that contribute to successful communication, as well as learning how to bring them all together to completely transform your public speaking!
The Effective Public Speaking Method has been developed to ensure you experience a tailored learning journey that takes you from where you are now to becoming the speaker you want to be.

Coaching Structure
Through many years of experience, I’ve learned that the achievement of any public speaking goal requires time and commitment from both you as the client and me as your coach. To ensure each client’s success, I limit ongoing client numbers to ten and have developed a coaching structure that supports the application of The Effective Public Speaking Method.
Typically, I work with clients for 12 to 16 weekly sessions over a three-to-four-month period, depending on where you are now and where you want to get to. Alternatively, some clients prefer a more intensive format with bi-weekly sessions over a shorter time frame.
While scheduling is flexible, regular sessions yield the best results, as each successive session builds on the progress of the previous.

What's Involved?
As a client of Effective Public Speaking, you will have access to the following in addition to your weekly coaching sessions:
Online Resources
An important part of the Effective Public Speaking Method are 'homework' exercises to build your vocal confidence. To make this as easy as possible, you will be provided with downloadable audio and video resources.
Videos of Your Speaches
While the focus of the Effective Public Speaking Method is building your confidence and your ability to speak authentically, it can be useful to sometimes observe a speech so you can identify elements that are working and areas that need improvement.
Fortnightly Drop In Sessions
One-on-one coaching will form the spine of your program, supported by fortnightly drop-in sessions that focus on creativity and impromptu speaking in a supportive environment with fellow Effective Public Speaking clients. These sessions are available for twelve months from the start of your coaching.
