Becoming The Great Presentation Coach has been a journey of many years and experiences.
I'm a qualified Integral Coach and NLP Practitioner with more than ten years of experience in helping others communicate their ideas effectively. In all my work, I have helped people have better experiences of a place, person, process, or presentation. From leading high-end incentive groups to being the COO at a global boutique leadership consultancy, I’ve designed and delivered excellent experiences in internal communications and processes, corporate events, and leadership development programmes.
My first exposure to speaker coaching was at TEDxCapeTown in 2012. I quickly realised that sharing ideas is the most effective way to influence others and make our mark on the world. Not all of us get to deliver a TED talk, but many people have the chance to impact their immediate environment at work (or home) when they stand up and speak.
I aim to make that experience more enjoyable for everyone – the person delivering the talk and the audience receiving it. My unique blend of skills means I balance your message with your personal style of delivery to help you feel more confident and get your message heard.
It’s been a privilege to work with these organisations
It’s been a privilege to work with these organisations
In my work with them, I have:
● Presented customised group workshops to help them deliver effective in-house presentations
● Empowered the sales team to speak with assurance, clarity, and influence
● Worked with anxious individuals and coached them to feel confident when speaking in front of any audience.
Work with me.
The ability to think clearly, communicate confidently and make a difference with your messaging is often viewed as a gift instead of a skill. I believe that with personalised coaching and meaningful practice with actionable feedback, you can be both a confident speaker and get the results you want from your engagements.
Most of my client engagements are customised so we reach specific goals but these options are a great place to start.
Flipping Great Feedback
Get clear, actionable feedback on the structure, content, visuals and delivery of your presentation so you ensure your message lands with clarity and impact.
Ensure your team delivers clear and insightful internal presentations confidently so you can make the best decisions in your business. (Also excellent to help your sales team connect with their customers and influence decisions)
Carryn walked with me through the sharing of my deeply personal story of overcoming of a poor relationship with pornography and digital media, talk about stepping into vulnerability!
The impact of her advice and guidance did not end in the moments she sat with me as I was about to go onto stage, but remain with me as I continue to present as a Digital Wellness speaker.
She is the real deal.
If you are serious about stepping up as a presenter, it's a no brainer.

We highly recommend Carryn’s talents, expertise and proficiency. She’s a dedicated, hardworking, authentic individual who really cares about what she does, and has the unique ability to coach anyone.

Working hand-in-hand with Carryn Ortlepp, I learned how to craft my talk. I now know how to write, time myself speaking and really learned the fine art of tweaking words to flow and engage the listener, to make sense to myself as a speaker. That built my confidence and belief in myself and I am now spreading the same messages at the United Nations.
Though I was a confident person when I met Carryn Ortlepp, I really didn’t believe in myself as a speaker that can command the stage. I write ideas with love these days. I believe in me.
The key benefits of working with me
I bring a unique skill set to the art of presentation by blending my practical presentation knowledge and articulate communication with my abilities as an Integral Coach. I spend as much time gathering information on your business and message as I do guiding you through a personalised journey to successfully delivering your talk. These unique insights, added to coaching, take you beyond a presentation.
