Confidence is a
byproduct
of competence.
Built on 9 years of formal actor training and the proprietary PASS Method. A method that guides you from the moment you know you need to present, to the moment you walk off stage.
Most presentation training fixes the wrong thing.
Smart people stand up with material that hasn't been pressure-tested. They've rehearsed by reading their notes. They've optimised the slides instead of the message. The audience feels it instantly.
What's actually broken is preparation — the part nobody trains.
- Tips and tricks (Z-pattern eye contact, hand positions, "find your voice")
- Slide design tips that don't fix the underlying message
- Confidence trainings that bypass the actual content
- One-off sessions with no system to take into the next talk
Speakers Prepare fixes the preparation.
One proprietary methodology built on a small number of core principles — easily learned, easily remembered, easily applied. Each principle builds on the last. Once you have them, you carry them into every talk that follows.
Practical. Repeatable. Built so you don't take a whole book on stage hoping something sticks.
- Core principles you actually remember while you're speaking
- Skills that compound — each one makes the next easier
- A handbook to write in, return to, and reuse
- The same methodology, applied to every talk you'll ever give
From the moment you know, to the moment you walk off stage.
The PASS Method takes you by the hand through three phases — ideation, writing, and delivery. Whether you've never presented before or you've done a hundred, four hours later you'll know the talk you're about to give.
The Speakers Prepare handbook is the methodology made portable. Designed to be written in. Used in every engagement, included with every workshop, available standalone for anyone who wants the system.
Designed to be used. Designed to be written in. Designed to be the system you take into every talk that comes after.

This session challenged us in new ways — helping us uncover both our individual habits and the common pitfalls we all fall into. Honest feedback, small tweaks, and a lot of learning.
His approach is clear, practical and focused on results. He has developed his own framework for giving presentations, which is practical and relevant for a wide range of situations. The sessions were engaging and full of tips I could use straight away.
Dylan's guidance was invaluable in preparing for my recent presentation. His encouraging and practical approach helped calm my nerves, and his structured method transformed my fragmented content into a coherent and engaging narrative. Thanks to Dylan's expertise, my presentation was well-received by the audience.
What I appreciated most was the way he created a safe environment where I felt comfortable trying new techniques, while still providing honest and constructive feedback. Thanks to his guidance, I feel more confident and better prepared when presenting.

"If it scares you,
it's probably a good thing."
Not a presentation trainer who took a drama class. Nine years of formal actor training — including a master's from Royal Central — and a methodology built around what that training actually teaches.
Dylan trained for nine years at performing arts academies, completing a master's degree at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama in London. After 21+ years on stage and seven years researching how speakers reach their potential, he built the PASS Method — the structured, repeatable preparation system now taught in every Speakers Prepare engagement.
Bilingual EN/NL. Based in Amsterdam. Working with teams across legal, digital, marketing and AI-transitioning sectors.
