I have worked in Television and Theatre for many years, both as a professional (although not famous) and a teacher to children and adults. I took 3 years getting a degree in Media Production and found I loved working directly with people. I then spent time working with vulnerable communities in the Charity Sector, and discovered that so many people felt they had no part in the lives they lived, and I worked with them to encourage their aspirations, their dreams and to show them where they belonged in life. I then spent time (a long time) perfecting my coaching sills, and became a Neuro Linguistic Master Practitioner. Today I mix all the passions in my life, and offer you the opportunity to become the Star in your life.
I now coach people in to speak with clarity and confidence. Public Speaking is something so many people dread doing, that I have taken all my skills and knowledge to give you the Bev Hepting experience and help you become a great speaker. This will help you professionally and personally. You will find out what your job is as a speaker, how to get your message across, how to own a room and work the audience, and how to manage those nerves. Being able to speak in public with confidence can change your life, and I can help you do it.
