Meet Derek
When I first learned the word ‘compère’, I immediately thought, ‘O.K., let’s go do that!’
A strong voice, enthusiasm and a smile were a good start. What I came to appreciate was the importance of structure, practice and feedback.
Today, those same ingredients run through my work as a public speaking coach, event host and Master of Ceremonies. I love helping fascinating people share their ideas, find their presence and connect with an audience.
