I wanted to learn how to deliver a complex message in a clear concise way. When I gave interviews, my message would get lost because I rambled and people would lose interest. This workshop built on the last one in a warm, supportive environment. I now think more clearly about what I want to say and what my audience needs and more confident about giving interviews."
I began my journey with Geraldine at her public speaking women's retreat. The safety of this small group continued in the on-on–one coaching session with Geraldine over the year that followed. In her unique manner, Geraldine kept me focused and on track to achieve the goals I had set for myself. The sessions are gentle, caring and completely without judgement so that you feel "safe" to explore the depths of your inner self. And, lets be honest, that is where we least like to go but really need to in order to move forward.
I'll really miss my frank and fearless conversations with Geraldine and can only recommend that you embark on a personalised journey to be cool, calm and connected. "
“I was absolutely thrilled and relieved when I found Geraldine — I needed someone to coach me in public speaking when my novel was published. Her approach is unique, intelligent and fun. She worked miracles with me.”"
Thankyou for the magic you helped me achieve. I overcame my "herd of dinosaurs" in my tummy and can now speak confidently and comfortably in public. It was a huge experience and learning curve to actually see myself on film talking to the group and be so at ease with it. Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! I will be singing your praises far and wide for some time to come."
Geraldine has helped me to break down 20 years of terror over public speaking. She has helped me to reframe all ‘the rules’ I have been taught over the last 15 years or so by other public speaking organisations, the one size fits all approach to public speaking. I’ve stopped counting my um’s and ah’s and thinking about my crossed hands and how quickly I scan the room and look everyone in the eye!
What I want is to be authentic, to talk with people as if I am having a regular one on one conversation with them, and stop worrying about how I look and what my physical body is doing. Geraldine has allowed me to explore that and to feel comfortable with that and to realise that talking to a group of people is not about having to entertain them with my wit and charm, it’s about being feeling confident enough to allow myself to be who I want to be and to engage with people in a relaxed way that suits my communication style. I couldn’t have asked for anything more than that and I wouldn’t have found that anywhere else. Thank you ;-)

The one day workshop was fabulous – thankyou! I found all of it extremely useful and relevant – breathing techniques to calm down, gaining connectivity with an audience and putting a personal spin on the topic to keep it authentic. Geraldine, you are obviously passionate about teaching people how to become efficient and effective speakers. I felt you did everything exactly how you were teaching us to do – you practice what you preach. I haven’t got a lot of experience with public speaking, but now I have the confidence to stay calm and collected and not find it daunting."
Shortly after experiencing sweaty palms, shortness of breath and a thumping heart during a 2 minute "introduce myself to the audience routine" at a local business breakfast, I met Geraldine Barkworth. Thank God!
That evening I entertained every excuse I could find not to do anything about my fear of speaking in public... BUT, I was not happy to ignore this fear anymore and let my pathetic excuses overrule.
I made a commitment and went to see Geraldine. There is a real process involved of techniques and exercises and it all works. Geraldine is an expert at what she does and she applies her craft in a very personalised, professional and thorough manner.
In my business I am paid to negotiate and the skills that Geraldine helped me develop and hone have improved me as a professional negotiator and also as a person. I have been able to apply more purpose and display more confidence in my day to day activities.
It's quite simple really, if you want to make a change in this area of your life you MUST go and see Geraldine Barkworth and be open to her help."
It was a really great workshop, using easy techniques to calm nerves which with a bit of practice made everyone speak more comfortably. The content covered personal development type info as well as tips and checklists for what an MC should actually say and also how to plan an event. It was behaviour changing without being too confronting. I’m looking forward to the next one. "
Confidence & Connection is a subtle yet powerful course /method to overcome and let go of old patterns and transform. It's a very supportive and healing way of learning to speak well in public and develop communication skills extending from simply becoming more comfortable with ‘the self'."
I really appreciated the aspect of spiritual connection & feminine power that was underlying the content of the $ Day Retreat. I won’t forget that & am certain that it is totally unique. Geraldine’s modelling, energy, intelligence, experience & raw presence is an inspiration & purely enjoyable."
I wanted to gain more confidence in speaking to larger groups and to be more relaxed in myself to draw on what I know, rather than just “theory”. Confidence & Connection is a wonderful opportunity to anchor the skills needed to speak authentically in public. The supportive group grows and grows creating a safe and gentle container to take more and more risks. Give it a go!"
Communicate Connect is one of the best investments you can make for yourself. Geraldine teaches in such a warm and gentle way that you really do learn and grow by osmosis. She led us gently by showing us herself and her work is like magic.
I am so grateful that I chose to do this course because now I feel that I have something to say that is worth listening to. I wanted to be more comfortable in my business to be able to charge what I’m worth and to be comfortable speaking from within, to a small or large group. I think it is an amazing program.
I know now that I can be confident in talking and connecting with people by just being myself. Somehow my life experiences had knocked that out of me but Geraldine taught me to believe in myself again."
Pass the microphone thanks, I love any chance for public speaking now! I’ve had lots of positive feedback about my public speaking skills since training with Geraldine. I highly recommend you talk with Geraldine if you want to deliver your message in a way that people will hear."
Timidly I stepped into the arena of public speaking with the 6 Week Course. With Geraldine’s gently yet professional manner, my shyness dissolved and a new confidence emerged. It became an adventure and after every class I came away with a sense of accomplishment. My fears have turned into joy!"
Prior to starting with Geraldine, I felt very alone with my anxiety around public speaking in all situations. I felt I was a lost case as nobody I knew experienced the same degree of terror as me.
From the first session with Geraldine, I was continually impressed by both her ability to understand my what happens for me in public speaking situations, and the effective tools and activities she has developed to address these issues and improve public speaking skills. I immediately began to feel understood and optimistic that I would gain control of my fears.
In addition, after every session I left with practical and relevant advice for improving all aspects of my life that relate to and impact on public speaking.
I truly feel that conquering public speaking requires a holistic approach, and that Geraldine, with her vast depth of experience, was able to pinpoint the right methods for me. Highly recommended!"
