My subject can be challenging, Grief.   I wanted to work on getting my message "out there," in a way that would land better with people. I wanted to build on my speaking performance to enable me to do that.

I'd been taught the 4 mat system before but that could feel a little regimented.  Eric showed us the power of story telling, and after getting two coaching segments with him (my new claim to fame) I am now working to wrap people in the conversation, and know its ok to bring some funny experiences into the talk.

Since the programme ended I have launched my second book and now look to build my platform talking about grief through my Youtube Channel.  We have no toast masters where I live, therefore have the courage to reach some people that I know to see if they will have me to speak at their conventions. On the back of this course, I did the video below.
