In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast, I speak with Damien Gauthier, the Founder, Speaker Coach, and Facilitator at Impactful Speaking.

‍

Damien, was once a shy child who struggled with socialising well into adulthood - despite his acting and improv training. His turning point came when he realised that having a compelling message overcame his fear of judgement, transforming his journey from shyness to a belief in the power of impactful messages.

‍

This shift wasn't just about shedding shyness but about channelling his passion into a message worth sharing. 

‍

Damien transitioned this realisation into a thriving business; his mission: to empower individuals to let their ideas shine, no matter their personality, skill level or circumstances.

‍

Today, Damien is a multi-faceted presentation and speaker coach, drawing from a diverse background in science, theatre, design, and innovation. 

‍

He's the curator of TEDxLausanne and the visionary behind Impactful Speaking. Leveraging his experiences, he empowers individuals and teams to articulate complex ideas effectively.

‍

Don't miss Damien's journey from a timid child to a compelling speaker and coach. You’ll discover exactly how to build your communication skills and confidence, so you can share your ideas and have a lasting impact in the world.
