Ex Cyber-Sec professional turned Storytelling Coach.

Not many people are born a great presenter. Especially those in Tech. I know – because that used to be me.

But after learning the right skills, I made the transition from a petrified speaker to a confident presenter. One who now gets paid to coach others.

I’m on a mission to help others in Cyber Sec / Tech either take the stage for the first time, or give their most engaging Conf talk yet.

I’ve been selected as an official conference speaker coach for 15+ conferences in Australia and America, including BSides Melbourne, SANS Awareness Summit & Black Hat USA. And I’d love to support your conference speakers too.

If you’d like to offer professional support for speakers at your next event – whether they’re first-time speakers, women in Tech, or seasoned presenters – get in touch.

‘Our ANZ Unconference is a big event with a big risk taken on relatively unseasoned presenters.

I’m very glad we were able to use your considerable skills to lift our team’s awareness and ability at presenting. Thank you for the work you've done in helping prepare our presenters.

Top notch – the feedback was excellent and super appreciated across the teams.’

TIM HOGARTH

Chief Technology Officer

‘Emily’s sessions were some of the best professional development experiences I've ever had in my career.

She helped me craft my speech, ensured I was ready to present at a large conference AND even came to support me on the day!

I'm a much more confident public speaker because of her. I highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone!’

Emily Edgeley presents The Powerful Presenter

Support First-Time Speakers and Attract More Diverse Voices

When you equip first-time conference speakers with a professional speaking coach, you equip them with confidence. So they’re more likely to enjoy their speaking experience and go on to speak at other conferences and events.

You’ll also be able to attract a more diverse range of speakers, including women, which is good news for the industry as a whole!

I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in ‘Women Only’ speaking initiatives since 2019 (including Project Friedman, now run in conjunction with the Australian Women in Security Network).

These initiatives have increased the number of women gracing the stage of a Tech / Cyber Security Conference. This in turn inspires more women to share their voices. Which is awesome!

My professional speaker coaching can be tailored to match the level of support you want for your speakers. It can include some – or all – of the following:

A DEFINED OBJECTIVE

Learn how to ensure your talk hits the mark for that specific audience and how to tailor it so they see epic value from it.

PERSUASIVE ROADMAP

Understand how to structure your talk in the best way, so it flows well, is easy to digest and persuades your audience to take a different view on your topic.

ENGAGING TOOLS

Discover the different tools you can use to make your key messages as impactful and memorable as possible.

STORYTELLING FUNDAMENTALS

Use storytelling as an effective communication tool that adds context to data and key messages, and creates a lasting impact for the audience

ENGAGING DELIVERY

Understand what vocal & body language techniques you must master, in order for your words to land with the desired impact.

EFFECTIVE VISUAL AIDS

Brainstorm ideas for visual aids that don’t overwhelm the audience, but enhance and reinforce key points.

PRACTICE & FEEDBACK

Prep, practise and refine a relevant conference talk, and receive feedback about what’s working and what to improve

MAGNETIC MINDSET

Harness your mindset and learn how to handle your nerves so you can show up as the best version of yourself

Emily is a fantastic speaker coach. I had to present a keynote recently, and Emily was able to help me structure the presentation in a way that made my message clear and easy for the audience to receive.

Emily has tools and frameworks that she drew upon to make me more confident and at ease in my presentation. Thank you so much and I can't recommend Emily highly enough.
