About Nicholas

I am a communication coach with more than 30 years of international experience in industry, higher education, and professional training.

Over the course of my career, I have worked with professionals, managers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and students in Canada, France, and the UK. I have taught and coached communication in a wide range of contexts, including
- presentations,
- project work,
- client meetings,
- teamwork,
- negotiation,
- technical communication, and
- leadership communication.

My experience in business and higher education has taught me that successful communication is rarely about speaking more confidently. It is about understanding the situation, clarifying your objective, identifying your audience's needs, and communicating your message in a way that achieves results.

About the lesson

Every communication situation is different. You may be
- preparing for a presentation,
- meeting with a client,
- leading a project discussion,
- interviewing for a new position,
- pitching services to a prospective customer, or
- handling a difficult conversation.

Our sessions begin by analysing the communication challenge you are facing. Together we identify your objective, consider your audience's perspective, and develop a clear communication strategy. We then work on structuring your message, selecting appropriate language, anticipating questions or objections, and practicing delivery in a realistic way.

Many clients discover that confidence increases naturally once they become clearer about what they want to say, why they are saying it, and how to adapt their message to their audience. The goal is not simply to become a better speaker but to communicate effectively in important professional situations.

Nicholas's response
Cadence has a good understanding of the requirmements of the public speaking context. She needs to make sure that the content is sufficiently selective to allow her to establish a good connection with the audience and emphasize the points that will be most relevant to them. With further practice she will be an excellent public speaker.

Perfect! I recently completed a tutoring class on public speaking with Nicholas and I was pleased with the experience. I was looking to brush up my communication skills for job applications and practice on a speech that takes the presentation from ordinary to extraordinary.
Nicholas’s sessions were well-structured and tailored to my specific needs and goals. He provided excellent tips on everything from speech organization and vocal delivery to connecting with an audience. I started to feel comfortable in my own words.
I appreciated that the classes didn’t feel rushed, Nicholas gave the space to ask the questions that supported my learning.

Take this class if you want to strengthen your public speaking skills!

It was great to see how you adapted your presentation to the needs of the audience and give it much greater impact by selecting key examples and images. Those changes gave you much more confidence in your presentation style too!

Nicholas's response
Oleg has done some great work preparing his slide deck. He has put together a persuasive and coherent structure. Now, by removing some of the text and adding icons and visual charts he will make it easier for the audience to grasp ideas quickly and listen closely while he is speaking.

I prepared a presentation, and he revisited it during two sessions, explaining a list of techniques to apply to it.
I highly recommend Nick to anyone who wants to enhance their grasp of the English language and improve their presentation skills.

I used Nick's 3 session package to help me with a presentation to show my previous research work to prospective employers, and it made a real difference!

The clear structure of his approach allowed me to determine the overall message I wanted to convey in a way that would really speak to my audience. His insightful questions and advice guided me in identifying what to keep and what to leave out, how to organise my content and make it more impactful. I felt like each session really served its purpose, and brought the whole thing together nicely. I'm amazed that only 3 sessions were enough to dramatically improve my presentation to a level where I am confident to use it with professional scientists in academic and industry settings!

Nicholas has been invaluable in helping us learn how to teach in English when necessary. Thanks to him we acquired the basic vocabulary and ways of expressing ourselves to start a welcoming and constructive class. Nicholas was also very helpful in writing scientific articles in English for those who had never done so before. The way he helped us was also interesting, as it allowed us to find our own English words rather than doing direct translations.

Nick helped me turn my cyber-security presentation from overly technical and dry into a clear, confident, and an engaging presentation. His guidance made a huge difference in how I structure content, connect with the audience, and deliver with impact - keeping the audience engaged throughout the presentation.

I now feel far more confident presenting in front of clients —his public speaking coaching has been a game changer and I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking to improve their presentation skills.

1) When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?
I have always enjoyed helping people communicate in situations which matter the most to them. I think the coaching really began when some of my son’s school friends were making an application to university. They were very motivated to progress in their education and had selected courses that inspired them. I knew they had the ability to succeed, and I wanted to give them every chance of convincing the selection committees that they would be great assets to the programmes they were applying for. We were very happy when all of the applications were accepted and the next phase of their careers could begin!
2) What makes you passionate about your subject?
Realizing that everyone has the potential to succeed and that all the ingredients of the next step are close at hand. Helping people focus on their true objectives and select persuasive evidence with impactful visuals and examples gives a lot of satisfaction. When people are able to present what they really believe in with confidence it is a motivating feeling for everyone involved.
3) What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?
I enjoy taking the time to understand the context that a participant is operating in, and what they would like to achieve. That helps to guide them in the right direction, but all the materials and content for their presentation come from the participant so they have an authentic connection with what they are creating.
4) Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.
In high school I had a very helpful art teacher who listened to what I wanted to communicate and encouraged me to find my own ways to express those ideas. By constantly supporting me he gave me the confidence in my own ability to find solutions that would meet the requirements of the situation. A big thank you to him!
5) What are your keys to success?
Believing that what you wish to create or communicate has its place in the world and will bring benefit to others.
