My public speaking career started when I decided I was done with sweaty hands, a shaky voice and that relentless inner monologue: "Why would anyone think you have something interesting to say?" It was my inner control freak's attempt to regain power that made me realise public speaking is about so much more than where to stand or what to do with your hands.
My name is Annik, and for many years, I ran public speaking events in London, creating spaces where people could fall in love with public speaking, create their signature talk and learn how to get (more) speaking gigs. Now, I’m bringing that experience to Sydney, helping business owners, entrepreneurs and business leaders transform how they communicate.
Since 2011, I’ve helped professionals gain confidence, land higher-paid roles or speaking gigs, successfully lead big teams and excel in leadership. I’ve also worked with business owners and entrepreneurs to pitch for investment, speak on TEDx stages and land major corporate contracts.
When I’m not training or speaking, you’ll find me speechless watching Blue Mountains sunsets or eating gluten-free brownies - though not always in that order.
