Why public speaking with me, Lisa Evans?
My public speaking journey began when I decided to embrace the philosophy – ‘Get comfortable being uncomfortable’, then saying yes to every opportunity to speak. I’ve helped over 2,500 leaders transform their public speaking and business storytelling skills so that they can confidently articulate their ideas. When you work with me, I’ll empower you to develop your natural style and authentic voice, so that you can make the best first impression.
‘Thanks very much for the session, I thought it was brilliant and I’ve already used my newfound skills!’
Jack – Operations Superintendent
Present with confidence and charisma
As your Public Speaking coach, I will guide you to a place where you feel confident with your talk – and charismatic in your delivery. My aim is to help you feel so natural as you step up to speak that you will embrace the opportunity.
Many people refer to me as The Story Midwife© because I was a Registered Midwife for over 20 years. These days, my purpose is to help people bring their stories into the world.
Leaving my calling and finding my purpose
How did I go from being a career midwife to being a professional Keynote Speaker, Public Speaking and Business Storytelling coach? The two careers are worlds apart.
I’m from London originally, and when I trained as a midwife I knew it was my dream career and my calling.
Until… 20 years into my career, life sent me on an unexpected detour. A virus destroyed most of my hearing. I could no longer work as a midwife.
I struggled to come to terms with my hearing loss. My confidence plummeted and I became afraid to speak up.
Getting comfortable with feeling uncomfortable
Life changed again when I was invited to take part in a research trial. I received a cochlear implant and learnt to hear again – albeit in a very different way.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, this was the beginning of my transformational journey to become a professional speaker – a career I love.
I am now a Certified World Class Speaking and Storytelling Coach, a TEDx Speaker Coach, Host of Business Chat Podcast, four times author, NLP Practitioner, and Improvisation Actor. It’s a unique skill set that allows me to offer training that’s interactive, engaging and effective.
‘The power of creating a human-centred story to convey effectively a technical message was a big revelation to me. I will now take that insight into my presentations I make at my work.’
Michael Robertson, Science Director, CSIRO
