Fireside with Voxgig

Episode 36 - Peter Hopwood

We usually feature top public speakers on Fireside with Voxgig, but in this episode, we decided to speak with a top public speaking coach. Peter Hopwood describes himself as a pitch and presentations coach, and he supports public speaking professionals at every stage in their speaking career.

During our thought-provoking Fireside Chat, he revealed that speakers can always learn something new, no matter how experienced they are. It’s tempting for speakers who have some experience to believe that they have nothing left to learn, but Peter helps them break through to the next level.

Peter Hopwood is also an MC, and he has helped speakers through some very sticky situations – the stuff of nightmares. He saw for himself that if speakers, can find a way out of that crisis and carry on, the audience will be right behind them. For Peter, the biggest lesson any speaker can learn is resilience.
