You’ve given orders, briefed commanders and held a room. Now make a civilian room listen.
You know your story. The challenge is that civilian audiences don’t always hear it the way you mean it. Accents get in the way, military shorthand gets lost, and a strong idea can fall flat because of how it was delivered.
Speak, Present & Communicate with Influence is a masterclass built for UK Commonwealth soldiers, veterans and spouses who want to speak with clarity, present with power and leave the room having won it.
What you’ll walk away with
- Command of your pronunciation. Be understood the first time, whatever your accent or first language.
- Speech that lands. Speak so people don’t just hear you, they understand you.
- The art of presenting. Structure, delivery and presence for interviews, pitches, networking and the stage.
Learn from people who do this for a living
- Richard Wyatt, BFBS Radio presenter and coach. He knows how to hold an audience’s attention through voice alone.
- Dr Nigel Paterson, communication coach for non-native English speakers. He specialises in helping you communicate clearly and confidently across language barriers. His clients range from Prime Ministers to senior executives.
- Samuel T. Reddy, CEO of Leavers to Leaders and a 22-year Army veteran. He has made the journey from uniform to civilian leadership himself and speaks from experience as a non- native English speaker in the UK.
Mode of delivery
This is an online, in-person practical session delivered over 3 months. After each session, you will complete 15 hours of independent practical work and present to your classmate.
Schedule of delivery:
Twice monthly for 3 months

More than a course: a pathway
The masterclass is your entry point to accredited study. You can progress into either of two 20-credit routes:
- Ethics in Sustainability Leadership (20 credits), or
- Sustainability Entrepreneurship (20 credits)
Your communication skills become the foundation for a recognised qualification and the next stage of your career or business.
Why now
Your next interview, your next client and your next opportunity all depend on how well you communicate. Skills like these don’t come from reading about them. They come from practising with expert coaches, and the next intake runs November, December and January.
“Lead with purpose, sustain with integrity.”
This is Leading Oneself, the first step in leading anyone else.
Cost £250 / £75 using SLC.
