The Experience, In Their Words...
Having invested in a few Speaker Development Programs previously, I’ve become very cautious with where I spend my time, energy and resources. After seeing John create magic on a stage, I cautiously wondered if he could help me elevate my own presentation.
I attended his retreat and the experience DID NOT disappoint. The difference-maker in his program was a combination of John’s expertise and ability to provide world-class guidance, insights and coaching, on-the-spot. The bonus was the awesome beachfront location.

Why This Works
Using applied neuroscience, John F. Edwards, CSP®, helps speakers, trainers, and experts communicate in a way that sticks. When you understand how the brain pays attention, builds trust, and decides what is worth remembering, your presentation changes. It becomes clearer, more engaging, and far more impactful.
Audiences do not just hear you... They experience you. They feel it, remember it, and act on it.
Speech On A Beach is a highly personalized, small-group experience where your presentation is guaranteed to be elevated at every level. Not just by what you say, but how your audience experiences it. You will learn how to reduce cognitive overload, increase emotional connection, and design moments that make you unforgettable.
Wondering if Speech on a Beach is right for you?
Schedule a conversation with John to talk about where you are with your speaking and what you want to accomplish.
“After working with several coaches and programs, John was the first who didn’t try to fit me into a system. He helped me refine my voice, elevate my message, and turn my keynote into something that truly connects because it’s built around the audience, not just a formula.” -Ali Ingersol

“My speaking has been elevated at least fourfold in just two days.”
—Deanna Jones"If you can make the investment, it’s a no-brainer. It took me up not just one level, but a couple more.” —Dr. Susie Castellanos Hanley
“In 48 hours, it completely changed how I think about speaking.”
—Ali IngersollI really enjoyed your masterclass and came away from it with so many tips for public speaking.
I’d add that my biggest take-away was learning that the first couple seconds of a presentation is the most important because people take seconds to decide the filter through which they view you and your presentation.

"I came here with high expectations, and you exceeded my expectations." —Larry Long, Jr
“I wanted to take the opportunity to take your recommendations for a test drive… in front of a large group. Well, I'm happy to share, everything went really well. I set the stage with a dramatic story about why I started swimming… I shared the problem, the solution and, paired it with a story, and then posed a question to the audience. I took everyone on an emotional journey that ultimately left the audience inspired and in a state of awe. And to top it off, I received a standing ovation. I was told it was the top session of the 3-day conference (survey feedback).”
