You’re on stage, the audience is with you, and your message lands. It feels incredible. But here’s the truth—what makes that moment possible isn’t just what happens on stage. It’s everything that happens before you step up there.

The hours of shaping an idea, finding your story, and building slides that support (not drown) your message. The rehearsals where you trip over your words, adjust, and try again. The nerves you learn to manage long before the spotlight hits.

That’s why I wrote Zero to Keynote. It’s not a book about faking confidence or winging it. It’s about preparation—the small, repeatable steps that take you from blank page to a talk you can deliver with clarity and confidence.

Because once you’ve put the work in, the delivery often takes care of itself. You walk on stage knowing your material, owning your story, and ready to connect. Whether it’s your first talk or your first keynote, this book is your roadmap for the journey that really matters: the one that happens before the audience is even in their seats.

And it's not just about conferences. These skills translate directly to your career. Imagine the impact of presenting with clarity and confidence in the workplace. You'll influence decisions, lead with authority, and become the go-to expert.

FAQ

What format is the course in?

- The course is a text based PDF workbook. There is a workbook and cheat sheets at the end of the document for you to print.

Is the course membership based?

- No, you simply pay for the course, download the PDF and access is yours. There are no recurring fees.

How quickly will I become an effective communicator?

- That all depends on how much practice you are going to put in. Good communication is merely behaviours and only you can change your behaviours. The information and advice I offer needs putting into practice. Slowly and surely.

Why a text based course when you put out regular YouTube videos?

- The answer is simple. When I look back to all of the online courses I've sat with videos, I merely wanted the information in text. I wanted to read it and digest it more quickly through text and revisit various parts of it. You can keep revisiting this document, and re-reading and practicing.

- Textual lessons are less overwhelming and you can work through them at your own pace. Text based courses, like this one, are richer in detail and easier to share with you. Some of the lessons will be longer than others. I encourage you to work at your own pace.
