SPEAKING
Sylvia Baldock - Speaker
“Sylvia is speaking royalty. Every performance is polished, effortless and spell-binding. She speaks of significance and is the embodiment of it whilst managing to be humble and under-stated at the same time. She is a speaker that commands your attention, for you to rest the busy mind, and be present with her. Highly recommended.”
Sarah Furness
Having cut her ‘speaking teeth’ as a Lay-Preacher’s daughter, regularly presenting at church and to youth groups, the love of speaking has always been in her blood!
From training junior nurses as a Theatre Sister in Open Heart Surgery, to building sales teams in the Pharmaceutical industry and training senior business leaders on motivating their teams, Sylvia’s warm, embracing style of communication continues to inspire and empower hundreds of people every year.
Sylvia has continued to speak and train throughout her varied career and is a sought after speaker on the business circuit.

I booked Sylvia to compere a day at our high profile online Speaking Business Summit as I know she's got great energy and presence on stage that would transfer well to camera & screen. I also wanted someone experienced and unflappable to compere the opening day of our convention when we were all still getting our heads round the tech. Sylvia was brilliant - confident, relaxed and reassuring. She worked well with our speakers, our AV team and the event organisers and got our event off to a flying start.

SECURING YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS BY BECOMING MORE SIGNIFICANT
Many business leaders and individuals have all the trappings of success and yet feel unfulfilled and isolated.
All of us suffer from the ‘Imposter Syndrome’ at different times in our lives and may wonder when we are going to be ‘found out! This can paralyse us from stepping out of our comfort zone and tapping into the unlimited potential we all possess.
'Becoming More Significant' is about recognising your inherent strengths and skills and feeling so secure in the value you bring to the workplace that you in turn, inspire others to step up into a more confident and empowered version of themselves.
“A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives.”
― Jackie Robinson
As you re-enter the post-lockdown 'new normal' with the increased visibility and accountability that brings:
- How is Imposter Syndrome impacting your confidence?
- How are you 'powering up' to face the many challenges ahead?
- What is your vision for the future and how are you going to get there?
During these times of challenge and change, many people have stepped off the proverbial treadmill of life and asked themselves "is this all there is"?
Many are now living a life of more purpose and impact, bringing an empowered version of themselves to work and life.
This is a transformational talk or masterclass for 'YOU' if you want to connect at a deeper level with your true value, strengthen your personal brand and make a real and lasting difference in the world.
