The six weeks

One method, built in the rehearsal room.

Learn the delivery techniques behind the world's most memorable speakers. Real actor's craft — voice, story, presence, status — turned on the rooms you actually walk into, one-to-one. Every week builds on the last; week six puts it all on one presentation of yours, rehearsed and delivered live.

Week 1

Voice & Vocal Leadership

A voice that carries, varies and commands — without effort or strain. The instrument first, because everything else rides on it.

Week 2

Storytelling & Script Work

Facts inform; stories transform. Build a leadership story you'll actually use, and learn to play intentions rather than perform emotions.

Week 3

Executive Body Language

The message behind the message. Own the space, hold the eye, and let the pause do the work — presence on camera and in the room.

Week 4

Vocal Impact & Expression

The Performer's Laban efforts — evaluate every word for weight, space and time, so a line lands the way you meant it, not merely the way you said it.

Week 5

Executive Status Switching

Raise and lower your status at will — the actor's craft of reading a room and choosing exactly how you land in it.

Week 6

The Presentation Rehearsal Lab

The capstone. Everything from five weeks on one real presentation — rehearsed, coached and delivered live to the room.

What your place includes
01

Six live sessions

One hour a week, one-to-one with Anneli — never a pre-record. Just you, coached, never lectured.

02

Personal coaching

Feedback on your own voice, presence and delivery — on your real material, not a generic script.

03

The rehearsal lab

A full week-six rehearsal of a presentation that matters to you, coached and delivered live.

04

Workbook & drills

The exercises to keep the craft warm long after the six weeks end — the method, always on.

05

The completion mark

A credential that belongs on a profile and comes up in an interview.

06

The Journal

A weekly note and a monthly letter — presence practice that doesn't stop when the six weeks do.

Bringing your team?

Private coaching, for one leadership team.

Run the six weeks for a single leadership team — each person coached one-to-one, tuned to your rooms: the board update, the investor pitch, the all-hands. Tell us the shape of it and we'll come back with a plan.

Questions
Is this live, or a set of recordings?

Live. Every session is one hour, one-to-one with Anneli, so you're coached on your own delivery rather than watching a video. Presence is a craft — you can't learn it by streaming.

Do I need to be a confident speaker already?

No. Emma Wigmore — a CEO who speaks to boards and conferences regularly — had never had formal training and was "surprised by how quickly small adjustments made a significant difference." Whether you're experienced or find speaking daunting, the work meets you where you are.

Will I be on camera?

Yes — and that's the point. The room can always tell. Practising on camera, private one to one, is exactly how the craft transfers to the rooms that matter.

What do I leave with?

A rehearsed presentation you can actually use, a workbook of drills to keep the craft warm, the completion mark for your profile, and the Journal — a weekly note and monthly letter that keep presence a practice, not a one-off.

How do I pay?

Book your coaching and we'll confirm dates and take payment with you directly — no automated checkout. This isn't an automated course.

Eight places. Personal coaching. Powerful change.
