RESET: The Public
Speaking Retreat
A 3 day, intensive, facilitated, public speaking and leadership retreat to help you find your inner leaders voice and equip you with the tools to put it into action.
3rd – 5th march 2025
Florence House, East Sussex
“Hey - I'm Matt, AKA the speaking coach.
A number of years ago it became clear that whilst core coaching works, there is a need for a different, deeper way of approaching the work of finding your voice for some people. With a bit of research and an exciting vision, Reset Retreat was born - bringing the core components of my most effective coaching programs into a single space.
Now in it's third iteration, this retreat is an opportunity to take the space and time needed to connect with your voice outside of the busyness of daily work. The previous two have sold out, so get in quick and read on for more info.”
A RETREAT FOR YOU IF..
You need to get more comfortable in front of people - speaking in public and being confident in delivering your message
You’ve moved into a new role - imposter syndrome is holding you back from leading effectively
You get anxious when having to formally present, speak or be exposed - you want to feel confident in this space
You need a fully developed, bespoke toolkit to present and speak in public confidently where it matters
WHAT TRIGGERS THE NEED TO SHOW UP DIFFERENTLY?
Sometimes there comes a time where enough is enough and it’s time to take the step to feel heard. This can show up as:
Feeling you’ve ‘had enough' - I’m not feeling heard
A big event, promotion or change in circumstance may have brought about a realisation you need step into a stronger voice
Maturity and wisdom can trigger develop yourself further and speak up more
You may have seen others go through this process and come out the other side stronger
Curious if The Public Speaking Retreat is the right retreat for you?
Get in touch and we’ll help answer any questions you have about the retreat.
Testimonials
From participants at previous Reset Public Speaking Retreats:
-
A huge thank you to Matt - for sharing his knowledge; for giving us the space to explore. For holding space for us when it felt uncomfortable; for your encouragement; your enthusiasm. For allowing us to be; no pressure but gently guiding us.

This was an amazing retreat ! Everyone should do it. We all have moments when we need to express ourselves and be heard, and this retreat absolutely gives you the tools to do this more effectively and authentically.
The combination of wonderful kind and caring people who know what they’re doing and excellent food and surroundings is just what we all need to reset ourselves. The yoga, massages and the meditations in a beautiful yurt just completed the feeling of being on a true retreat. The coaching for public speaking, with the inclusion of story telling to facilitate the framework was just superb!
I have now changed the way I deliver my talks and are already making a difference to my audience but most importantly to me !
Huge thanks to Matt and his amazing team.

Matt has an effortless way of bringing people together to help them understand that they're not the only ones who experience anxiety and confidence issues with public speaking.
This, combined with helping people find their own voice and style and to feel confident in themselves is what made this retreat so special.

Embarking on this retreat I was a ball of anxiety and fear for my upcoming public speaking engagement. Arriving to meet lovely people, in a wonderful setting was great. The workshops were fantastic and Matt truly provided me with the skills and motivation to change my mindset and boost my confidence.
My talk at Olympia in London was a massive success with people coming up to me afterwards telling me how great it was. I couldn't of done it without Matt and the team! Thank you so much for your support! I would highly recommend.
