Closely related to the Speaking Circles method, we are proud to be Relational Presence® facilitators, using this method to help people make powerful and confident connections with those they speak to.
This can show up when presenting, speaking to senior colleagues, pitching to clients, or other times when the outcome really matters.
In most cases, this isn’t a personality flaw. It’s a completely normal response from a healthy brain and nervous system when attention, evaluation or status make the stakes feel high.
Real, stable confidence usually develops when you learn how to work with attention, adrenaline and connection — rather than trying to force confidence through mindset or performance techniques alone.

About Our Public Speaking Courses in London
We’ve been running our London-based public speaking courses for over 12 years and have coached thousands of people in that time, achieving amazing results.
These courses are built around The Presence Method™ — our structured approach to helping people stay steady, connected and confident under pressure.
Although the full Foundation training is delivered over 4 days (2 x 2 day modules), people are often astonished by the amount of progress that they are able to make in as little as 2 days. The course is regularly described by participants as “life-changing“, and “the best training I’ve ever attended“.
About Daniel Kingsley
The Presence Method™ was developed by Daniel Kingsley — Director of Presence Training and Principal Trainer on our programmes. Over the past 14 years, Daniel has worked with thousands of professionals, refining and teaching this approach in real-world leadership, public speaking and high-stakes communication contexts.
Daniel was a successful barrister for 15 years, before moving over into Public Speaking and Leadership coaching. (Towards the end of his legal career he found he was getting more interested in matters of personal growth and development than he was in winning court cases.)
Along with all of his experience at the “sharp end” of legal practice, he brings fun, warmth, compassion, and a keen interest in what it takes for human beings to truly flourish.
Daniel has done lots of self-inquiry and therapeutic work on himself, giving him a pretty good insight into what makes him tick and also the human condition in general. Any difficult feelings, thoughts or difficulties you may experience, Daniel has very likely been through something in some way similar, and come out the other side (usually smiling), making him a kind and really effective guide on this journey.
Daniel absolutely loves this work, and it’s truly his vocation to support people to feel genuinely confident to say what they want to say, in the way they want to say it, and to be the leaders they really want to be. Seeing people make massive breakthroughs, time after time, is what makes this work satisfying for him. He would love to support you to do the same.
