About

I’ve spent the last decade helping leaders unlock the true potential of their ideas. First as the Founder of TEDxClapham, then as public speaking coach and advisor to some of the world’s most high-growth startup founders.

The talks I’ve worked on have gone on to change government legislation, go viral online, raise over £300m in funding. That impact didn’t come about through polished delivery, it came about by helping leaders figure out what they really wanted to say, who needed to hear it and how to say it in a way that would move people.

I started MicDrop because most people treat public speaking like a performance, not a strategy. We’re a hand-vetted community for solopreneurs, founders, and authors who use speaking as a growth lever. We help them land their message, expand their influence and speak where it matters.
