About Us
Bristol Speakers Club is a new group with deep roots in heart-led speaker training methodologies. We build on the expertise of seven-time story telling author and the insights of our in-house confidence coach to create a modern, inclusive, and empowering learning space.
Annette Sloly - Confidence Coach
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Confidence & Performance Coach, empowering individuals - from professional musicians and actors to enterprise CEOs - to manage anxiety and excel in high-pressure social situations (classically trained violinist, performed on TV)
James Potten - Facilitator
I love creating empowering spaces to help people move past their limiting beliefs and realise what they’re truly capable of. Ex-country bumpkin who windsurfed across the English Channel (also a minor-podcast host), I enjoy sharing stories and learning on the journey with others.
David Sloly - Facilitator
The reason I’m involved in this wonderful offering in a voluntary capacity, is because I’ve met a number of people seeking a modern, inclusive and forward thinking approach to public speaking, who are struggling to find a group that met their needs. And this group does just that.
Discover Your Unique Voice
This isn't just about learning how to speak—it's about gaining confidence in your voice and feeling comfortable expressing yourself.
We believe that speaking confidence isn't about conforming to a rigid structure—it's about discovering your own unique style and owning it with confidence.
