I’m Dominic Colenso. By the time I was 26, I’d flown a spaceship, lost a million dollars, and been fired by Simon Cowell.

I started my career as a professional actor, trained as a director at RADA, and appeared on stage and screen, including playing Virgil Tracy in the Hollywood remake of Thunderbirds alongside Sir Ben Kingsley and Bill Paxton.

Today, I use the tools I learned in that world to help leaders, founders, subject matter experts and sales teams communicate with clarity and confidence when the pressure is on. I translate the techniques used by world-class performers into practical strategies for pitching, presenting and influencing in business.

I’m the bestselling author of IMPACT and Cut-Through, and on this channel I share simple, actionable ideas to help you think clearly, simplify complex messages, and make what you say land, in the room or on camera.

If you want to cut through the noise and perform at your best when it matters most, you’re in the right place.

Did you know half of remote leaders lose more than three hours a day to virtual meetings? You can win back some of that time with one simple shift. Fix how you show up on camera, and people will listen faster, decide faster, and trust you more.

If you present on Zoom or Teams, you can upgrade your presence with a few tricks I learned working with TV crews and film coaches. They are simple. They work. You can use them today.

Watch the video and try the techniques in your next meeting. You will feel the difference and your audience will feel it too. 👇🏻

Warm-ups aren't JUST for singers.

Or athletes.

Or teenagers before rolling their eyes.

They're also really important for presenting, pitching and public speaking too.

Here's the easy 3 stage warm-up routine I've been doing for years before speaking on stage. It never fails. If you're happy on stage, it'll make you even better...and if you're prone to feeling nervous before a big presentation, trust me - it'll eliminate those nerves FAST.

Erm. Well... umm... So....

Filler words like these are completely natural to use in everyday conversations, BUT when you're in a meeting, presenting or pitching, they will crush your credibility faster than an anvil being dropped on a walnut.

Don't worry though, if you're prone to using them when you're in front of an audience, I've got the perfect way to eliminate those "umms" and "errs", and it'll only take you 6 minutes to learn.
