“I recently attended a half-day, one-on-one session with Shiera before a public speaking event. I found her advice and coaching brilliant — it helped me tremendously on the day. Her work on my presentation allowed me to convey my message exactly the way I wanted. Highly recommend if you’re a nervous public speaker.”

Your Public Speaking Coach in Dublin

Shiera O’Brien is one of Ireland’s most experienced public speaking coaches, with over 20 years working with professionals, executives and business leaders across Dublin and globally. Her background combines accredited NLP and Neuro-Semantics coaching with real-world business experience — including senior roles at global companies like IBM — giving her a unique understanding of what high-performance communication actually looks like under pressure.

Shiera’s approach to presentation skills training in Dublin goes far beyond technique. Where most courses focus on tips and performance, Shiera works on the thinking behind the speaking — the beliefs, language patterns and self-image that either hold you back or drive you forward. The result is a speaker who doesn’t just look confident. They are confident.

She has coached over 3,000 professionals to overcome their fear of public speaking — helping sales professionals win deals with more persuasive pitches, and helping candidates land their ideal roles by presenting with clarity and confidence. Shiera is also a Toastmasters Speech Evaluation Competition winner — meaning she doesn’t just coach speaking, she knows at a technical level exactly what separates a good presentation from a great one.

Clients include C-suite executives, senior managers, sales directors, law partners and entrepreneurs — many of whom came in barely able to present to a room of five, and left ready to address hundreds. Whether you need a fear of public speaking course or targeted coaching ahead of a specific event, Shiera designs every programme around your goals.

“Shiera’s coaching was transformative. Through powerful questioning and tailored strategies, she helped me gain confidence, overcome my fears and become far more comfortable presenting to large audiences under pressure. Her professionalism, energy and commitment to building communication skills sets her apart.”

— MA, Senior Financial Professional, Smurfit WestRock, 2025

Public Speaking & Presentation Skills — FAQs

Not sure if this course is right for you? Here are the most common questions. Or simply book a free 15-minute call to talk it through directly.

What causes fear of public speaking?+

Many people experience fear of public speaking because of the negative narratives they’ve built around presenting. Past negative experiences become deeply embedded in your neural pathways, which amplifies the fear. The more you replay that story, the stronger the anxiety becomes. With consistent practice and targeted techniques, you can gradually retrain your brain to approach public speaking with a calm, confident mindset.

How can I improve my public speaking skills?+

Improving your public speaking skills starts with mastering your mindset. Develop a compelling story that resonates with your audience while keeping your message clear and simple. By finding your authentic voice and practising in a supportive setting, you’ll build confidence quickly. If you want personalised guidance, a public speaking coach in Dublin will accelerate that progress significantly.

How will this course improve my presentation skills?+

This course integrates NLP, coaching and reframing techniques to help you reshape your self-image as a speaker. Once you recognise and update the limiting narrative of being a nervous speaker, you naturally adopt a more confident, engaging presentation style. Practical exercises guide you through structuring your message, refining your delivery, and using effective voice and body language — all with actionable feedback that delivers measurable improvements.

Can this course help me become a better presenter?+

Absolutely. This course was designed from the insights of experienced public speakers who have overcome their own nerves. It offers a blend of NLP, coaching and proven communication strategies that equip you with a practical skillset to transform your presentation style. By combining psychological insights with hands-on practice, you’ll develop the tools to captivate any audience.
