The Public Speaking Coach

The Public Speaking Coach – Andrew Ledgerton-Lynch OBE, CEO and Founder of the Blue Light Speakers Agency – offers a comprehensive service for beginners and experienced speakers alike through his innovative SCALE Public Speaking Model.

Whether you are looking for individual coaching or group training (see below for Workshops & Masterclasses delivered alongside an experienced actor and mental health profession), Andrew’s passion, experience and insight into public speaking is sure to enhance your performance through bespoke coaching and training guidance designed to respond to your specific requirements. Andrew was in the first cohort of NLP accredited master coaches in the UK and is also a NLP master practitioner and trainer.

Andrew says: “In developing the SCALE Public Speaking Model I wanted to introduce a model that would work for everyone – wherever they are on the scale – so that they could access their potential and develop their skills.

“I believe that we never stop learning. I continue to pick up pointers all the time from colleagues at the Blue Light Speakers Agency and have a deep passion for sharing knowledge and understanding, especially when it comes to communicating important messages.

“Public speaking is the launch-pad for greater understanding in society, the conduit for inspiring others, improving performance and in a bigger sense a huge opportunity to share learning, save lives and alleviate suffering.”
