Hi, I'm Dave. Healthcare professional turned 2x TEDx speaker & coach.
With over 15 years in professional environments—from hospital wards to TEDx stages—I've experienced firsthand the paralyzing fear that holds brilliant people back from expressing their ideas.
That's why I created Speaking Without Freaking®. I break down public speaking into practical, stress-free micro-habits so you can deliver keynotes, pitch investors, or speak in meetings with absolute ease.
What leaders & speakers are saying
Real leaders. Real transformations.
Listen to what business leaders, executives, and emerging speakers say after working with Dave James — from conquering stage fright to commanding boardrooms with authentic confidence.
"Dave's 'Speaking Without Freaking' framework completely reframed how I prepare for keynotes. I went from hands shaking at the podium to commanding a 500-person summit with total joy."
"As an introvert, presenting to the board used to give me sleepless nights. Dave taught me simple vocal and body language adjustments that transformed my confidence overnight."
"Dave was highly commended at The Speaker Awards for a reason. His energy is infectious and his workshop was rated the highest of our entire annual corporate retreat."
