What do you want them to leave with?
We get underneath the information and find the message, audience and outcome that should guide the talk.
THE TALK EDIT · A 90-MINUTE INTENSIVE
You've got the ideas. Let's shape the talk.
Bring a presentation, pitch, keynote or even a half-formed idea. In one focused session, Nikki will help you find the point underneath it, shape a journey your audience can follow and make it sound like you.
One focused session. Practical support to keep using. No retainer or long programme.
90 MINUTES, WELL SPENT
We find the point, then build the talk around it.
You don't need a perfect draft. Bring what you've got: a brief, a set of slides, a jumble of ideas or a talk that's not quite doing what you want it to do.
Give your ideas a clear order.
We work out what belongs, what can go, and where a story or example will help the message land.
Leave with a way forward.
We shape an opening, a close and a practical structure you can develop and deliver in your own voice.
The aim is clarity and a strong structure, not a word-for-word script that leaves you sounding unlike yourself.
“I didn’t expect to learn so much in one concentrated session. Nikki helped me find the point beneath my scrambled talk, cut the waffle and shape it with intention. I left feeling more confident, with tools I can use again and again whenever I need to shape something quickly.”
Kathryn Ellis · Speaker

A FEW QUICK ANSWERS
Is The Talk Edit right for you?
Do I need to have written my talk already?
No. Bring a draft, some slides, a brief or a rough idea. We can use the session to find the central point and build a clear structure from there.
Will Nikki write the whole talk for me?
The session is collaborative. Nikki helps you make the message clear, shape the journey and find words that feel natural to you. You leave with a strong direction to develop, rather than a script to memorise.
What do I get after the session?
Up to one year of access to Brilliant Communication On Demand, its six-episode series and the online Presentation Planner, plus a free copy of Just Bloody Speak.
