This course is ideal for professionals who want to communicate more clearly, confidently, and persuasively in their day-to-day roles. It’s especially valuable for:

• Leaders and managers who need to present, influence, and inspire teams
• Technical experts who want to simplify complex ideas for non-technical audiences
• Cybersecurity, IT, and risk professionals who must speak with clarity and authority
• Aspiring speakers or facilitators preparing for presentations, panels, or conferences
• Anyone who struggles with nerves, impromptu speaking, or slide-heavy presentations

Whether you’re presenting to executives, running meetings, or speaking on the spot, this course will help you show up with clarity, confidence, and impact.

No prior speaking or presentation experience is required to enrol in this course. It’s designed for professionals at all levels—from those who are just starting to build their confidence, to experienced presenters looking to sharpen their impact. Whether you’ve never spoken in front of a group or regularly present to stakeholders, you’ll find practical, easy-to-follow strategies that meet you where you are and help you grow. All you need is a willingness to learn and a desire to communicate more clearly and confidently.

We’re based in Melbourne’s central business district — a vibrant part of the city that’s known for its innovation and leadership.

We have designed PPC to cater for busy professionals. All learning happens online so that participants can watch the pre-recorded modules in their own time, at a pace comfortable to them. Transcripts for all online videos are also available online for those who prefer reading.

PPC is led by Emily Edgeley, a public speaking coach, certified facilitator, and former cyber security professional with over a decade of corporate experience.

She has coached over 250 individuals, led 300+ group sessions, and supported speakers at major conferences. Known for her practical, relatable style, she’s a regular corporate presenter and creator of The Magnetic Communicator, a newsletter followed by 3,000+ professionals (across email and socials).
