Geraldine Barkworth
Resume
Geraldine is the director of Goddess Of Public Speaking (suitably modest of course), begun in 2002 and based near Byron Bay, NSW. She is a member of the International Coach Federation, National Speakers Association Australia, a former librarian and recruitment manager, trainer and has been a Buddhist-based meditator for 25 years.
Geraldine Barkworth believes “great” public speaking comes from within and the only thing stopping you, is you. As a professionally trained work/life balance coach turned public speaker, Geraldine shows audiences simple ways to tap into their own inner speaker and communicate with ease and authenticity, anywhere and anytime. Geraldine’s innovative and interactive approach is described as the “polar opposite” to standard public speaking advice. She blends heightened self awareness, physiological wisdom and practical, humorous insights into how to “open your mouth and let it flow”; in the nicest possible way! Song, dance, chocolate and boa feathers may feature occasionally.
Individual clients are fascinatingly diverse and primarily come from Australia and New Zealand, ranging from international CEO’s to librarians to bondage mistresses. What they share is a desire to be their best selves when they speak; to be mindfully present and authentic, locally and globally.
