There’s something special about watching people step up to the mic and find their voice.
This week, I had the privilege of spending time with the energetic team at The Alternative Dairy Co. (part of Sanitarium) to help them do just that—grow their confidence as event emcees.

From Competition Floor to Training Room

Before we kicked off training, I joined the crew for one of their coffee competitions—and the energy was contagious. Baristas, coffee lovers, and judges created an atmosphere that buzzed with excitement. It was the perfect backdrop for the emcee development we were about to begin.

After soaking in the competition vibe, I tailored a session from our Proficient Speaker and Emcee Course to match exactly what their budding emcees needed. We focused on:

  • Building public speaking confidence

  • Crafting engaging emcee introductions

  • Sharpening competition announcements and transitions

And of course, everyone grabbed the mic for multiple live practice rounds. Seeing confidence click in real time—watching someone go from hesitant to commanding the room—was absolute gold. 🎤✨

A Team That Brings the Energy

A special thank you to Fleur Clohesy for her commitment to making this training possible. Your enthusiasm and positive energy set the tone for the entire day and gave every participant the confidence to step out and shine.

Helping Teams Find Their Voice

Whether it’s hosting a coffee competition or leading a company event, strong emcee skills transform an audience’s experience. That’s why our Proficient Speaker and Emcee Course is designed to build confidence, clarity, and presence—so every emcee can light up the room and keep events flowing seamlessly.

And yes, before you ask—The Alternative Dairy Co. almond milk is my personal favourite. If you haven’t tried it in your coffee yet, you’re missing out!
