Stand Up, Speak Out and Shine: How to Ditch the Presentation Nerves and Own the Room (or the Zoom)

You might be a brilliant hypnotherapist – helping your clients overcome fears and quash their nerves – but that doesn’t automatically mean you feel confident on camera, stage or screen.

Are your presentation nerves or fear of visibility stopping your business from growing? Imagine saying “Yes” instead of turning down media appearances, online marketing opportunities, or speaker invites.

What if you could confidently walk your talk?

In this interactive session, I’ll share confidence-boosting strategies drawn from my dual careers: 38 years as a multi-award-winning BBC TV Producer and now as a specialist Confidence Hypnotherapist. We’ll explore practical tools and techniques you can use immediately with clients and yourself – covering mindset shifts, body language, vocal delivery, and how to prep for media moments without feeling like a rabbit in headlights.

Expect humour, honesty and some very real TV industry secrets – plus practical tips to help you unmute yourself and your message. Whether you’re aiming to speak on stage or simply want to show up more confidently in your business, this session will help you avoid common presentation pitfalls and leave you calm, credible and camera-ready.

Who knows… this time next year, YOU could be speaking at UKHC!
