Catherine Sandland – Speaking Coach
Do you ever dream of being on a stage sharing the thing that’s most important to you? A message or idea you know has the potential to make a difference for people in the audience.
It’s time to stop imagining, take control, and make this your reality.
Meet Catherine Sandland, Speaking Coach.
I’m Catherine Sandland and I’m on a mission to help people stand up in the spotlight and share their messages. From small business owners with a purpose, to individuals with big ideas; nervous first-time speakers to experienced presenters who want to develop their skills.
Great ideas, missions and movements evolve from people in all sorts of industries and backgrounds. As a speaking coach, I help people through workshops , coaching and one-to-one training to stand up and share what’s important to them, clearly, confidently and convincingly.
From good ‘reader-outer’ to presenting queen
I’ve always been a good ‘reader-outer’.
I was four when I took my first steps in public speaking. Of course, my mum was a first-class coach. She had me practise my reading ‘out loud’ several times before I delivered it with aplomb to the church congregation.
I honed my ‘speaking out loud’ skills as narrator in the nativity. Never Mary or Gabriel though, not that I’m bitter! Later, I joined my university Gilbert and Sullivan group and experienced the incredible buzz of being on stage.
I was hooked.
I still feel that electricity when I stand up and speak today.
A career in HR gave me a brilliant grounding in managing people, giving feedback and presenting skills training. Becoming a dedicated public speaking coach was a natural progression.
I’ve been speaking out, strutting my stuff on stages for 23 years – as a keynote speaker, event host, and charity ambassador. When I see my clients doing the same, I feel nothing but pride.
