Geoffrey Huck:
Public Speaking Coach
Hey!
I help people speak effectively and confidently in all situations, by overcoming their fears and expressing their unique style, so they can level up in their career or grow their business.
I can Help you if…
…you get nervous in front of groups, in-person or online.
…you struggle to convince and keep the attention of those who listen.
…you want more presence and the ability to command the room.
…you want to inspire and energize the people around you.
I help you improvise on the spot and structure what you know into convincing messages, adapted to the people you talk to, and delivered with confidence.
Here’s my story
l I started as a software engineer who couldn’t talk to his neighbours, and who worked from home to avoid social situations. I guess that was the downside of being so passionate about computers from a very young age and spending all my time coding.
I used to wait for my neighbours to go out of the corridor before going out for shopping. I used to feel an intense anxiety in all kind of social situations. It was hell.
Turned out, it was because it was hell, and because I couldn’t even live a normal life, that I decided to overcome it at all cost. I couldn’t imagine living all my life like this, and I already noticed things didn’t get better without doing anything… With the years, it even got worse because I lost touch with almost everyone I knew. Becoming an almost pharmaceutical expert and using alcohol to try to connect with people only turned me into a fool…
One day, after having irreversibly embarrassed myself in front of my last friends, I was so pissed off with myself that I decided to not just overcome shyness, but to overcome all my fears until I felt completely free.
This started my journey to overcome any blocks and fears, including talking to strangers, public speaking, dancing, singing, sales, cold calling and networking. It was hard and I acted a little bit randomly since I didn’t have a map, but I found what works and what doesn’t. I learnt to connect with people from all backgrounds, and how to convince. Bonus that I didn’t expect, the journey was actually quite fun.
People started to ask me for advice, and strangely, to become a leader in every groups and clubs I was going to regularly. Only two years after I joined the public speaking club Toastmasters Strasbourg, a public speaking and leadership development club part of the Toastmasters organization, I was asked to become its president.
Since then, I have presented workshops to founders, engineers and leaders to help them become more sociable, enjoy social interactions, and speak effectively and confidently in all situations. I have coached them in one-to-one, and refined my methodology to help them achieve the same results I did with a lot less of the struggles.
Get to know me a bit…
Fun fact about me: I’m 160cm tall and used to believe my lack of confidence was due to my short size. Now I can definitely tell you it wasn’t because my height hasn’t changed! 😉
I love to travel solo, discover places and put myself in silly situations, especially when no one around speaks any language I know. When you’re not afraid of looking stupid, you gain an insane amount of freedom.
My superpower is that I believe that everything can be learnt: knowledge, happiness, and even… personality traits.
