Geoffrey Huck – Speaking Coach
Hey!
I help senior engineers and leaders speak effectively and confidently in all situations, by overcome their emotional reactions and express their own 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 to have presence and command the room.
…you often wait for others to come talk to you instead of initiating conversation.
I help you turn your technical expertise into convincing messages, adapted to the people you talk to, and delivered with confidence.
Here’s my story
in I started as a shy software engineer, working 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 feel an intense anxiety in all kind of social situations. I even used to wait for my neighbours to go out of the corridor before going out for shopping. Turned out, it was because it was so intense, 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 slightly worse…
One day, I was so pissed off with myself that I decided to not just overcome shyness, but to overcome all kind of social fears fully and completely!
This started my journey to overcome any blocks and fears, including talking to strangers, public speaking, sales presentations and networking. It was hard and I acted a little bit randomly, but I found which mindsets work and doesn’t, even those who gave me satisfaction. I learnt how to connect with people from all backgrounds, and how to convince. Bonus that I didn’t expect, I also developed a unique style that made me stand out.
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, the biggest public speaking club in the region of Alsace in France, 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 too. 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 safely tell you it wasn’t because my height didn’t change! 😉
I love to travel solo and backpack, discover places and put myself in silly situations. When you’re not afraid of looking stupid, you gain an insane amount of freedom.
My superpower is that I believe (perhaps foolishly but hey, it works!) everything can be learnt: knowledge, happiness, and even… personality traits.
