I love working with organisations that have a presentation skills challenge.

Hi, I am Rich Watts, a two time national public speaking champion, in-house trainer and all round presentation skills geek.

Businesses and charities often succeed or fail based on their ability to successfully pitch to clients, present internally and speak to the public. With this thought at the forefront of everything that I do, I work in partnership with organisations like yours to create unique in-house public speaking training solutions.

My focus is always on working with you to fully understand and research the challenge at the heart of your business or organisation, before creating a unique in-house training solution that ensure that your ideas, your stories and your people really come to life when speaking.

Who is Rich Watts?

You may have scrolled down this far to try and find out a bit more about me. You can find out more about me below, and when you're done, I would love to hear more about your unique public speaking or presentation skills challenge...

I am a public speaking consultant and trainer, a past winner of the UK Business Speaker of the Year competition, a JCI UK Public Speaking Champion and most importantly, I love helping others to develop into outstanding public speakers.

This, my corporate communications background and a very high level of geekery when it comes to public speaking, mean that my ideal job is creating and delivering public speaking training. Fortunately for me, that's what I get to do every day. Using examples and techniques from everyone including Aristotle to Churchill and Jamie Oliver, I craft solutions to challenges faced by businesses, charities, start-ups and a select bunch of individuals too.

It's not all about me. I promise. For really specific challenges (for example, presenting in a second language or top-level crisis communications), I bring in other experts from my network. It's all about ensuring that you have the best solution for your needs. These solutions range from one-off shorter sessions, to the development of full communication skills curriculums for graduate schemes (and everything inbetween!).

Finally, just in case you were beginning to think that I sound less like a human and more like a public speaking robot sent from the future, I do (occasionally) spend time on other hobbies. My time outside of Rich Public Speaking is often full of Triathlon, model cars and being Dad to two quickly-growing children.

I hope that if you have read this far we get the opportunity to meet soon. I would love to help you and your business achieve success through communication. It's what Rich Public Speaking was created to do.

It has been the most useful course that I have attended. So many of the areas I will be able to implement - thanks so much Rich!

What is an in-house public speaking trainer?

An in-house public speaking trainer is a skilled professional who comes directly to your workplace to help your team develop into clear, concise and confident communicators.

Instead of attending outside courses, your team can sharpen their public speaking skills in a familiar setting, with a trainer who tailors sessions to meet your company’s goals and culture.

It’s like having a personal coach on hand to turn nervous presenters into polished speakers, all while boosting team morale and creating a comfortable space for growth.

Think of it as having a communication superhero right in the office—ready to help everyone shine!
