Book your free 30-minute call
Free, on Zoom, with me. By the end of it you'll know whether this is right for you.
You tell me what happens and when. Whatever yours looks like, it won't be the first time I've heard it.
I tell you honestly whether this will work for you. Sometimes it's no, and I'll say so.
If it's a yes, we book your session dates on the call.
It's a 1-on-1 call with me, not a recording or a sales team. I only have a few spots each week, so if you book one, please come.
If we go ahead
How it runs
Usually about a week apart. In session one we find what sets your alarm off. In sessions two and three we work through the situations where it fires, until it stops.
What you bring
The situations where it happens: the meeting, the room, the moment your mind goes blank. Nothing to prepare, and nothing to present.
Between sessions
If something comes up, you can message me.
Who it's for
It needs to be about speaking: presenting, meetings, being put on the spot. How strong the reaction is doesn't matter.
If session one isn't right for you
Sessions two and three are refunded in full, and you don't need to give a reason. I introduced that refund in April 2026.
From people who did the three sessions
"The boardroom was not a place I felt comfortable, and each time I was there I presented poorly… I've started to enjoy the presenting, and I now close deals much more frequently."
Liam, founder, enterprise software
"For years, just the thought of speaking in front of people made my throat tight. In the work with James we found the reason for it, and then we broke that belief down until it no longer existed."
Peter, engineering team leader
"The roundtable session couldn't have gone better. I have never been this calm, and it was as if for the first time I could be myself on stage."
Daniel, public servant and startup founder
Before you book
What if it doesn't work for me?
If session one isn't right for you, sessions two and three are refunded in full, and you don't need to give a reason. So far, nobody has asked for a refund.
Does it work over Zoom?
Every session is on Zoom, and it works exactly the same way.
Can my company pay for it?
Often, yes. It isn't the kind of thing a benefits plan covers, but plenty of clients have used a professional development budget, usually by paying me and getting reimbursed. I can invoice your company instead if you'd rather.
English isn't my first language. Isn't that the problem?
Almost certainly not. If the words are there in every other meeting and only disappear when it's your turn to present, your English is working fine. What takes them away is the same thing that takes them away from everyone I work with.
Free, 30 minutes on Zoom. You'll leave knowing whether this is for you.
