Sweaty palms. A racing heart. A dry mouth. Butterflies in your stomach.
Whether you’re presenting in the boardroom, pitching to investors or delivering a keynote, fear of public speaking affects people at every level – even CEO’s.
Drawing on more than two decades of live television and international events, Louise Houghton explains why we experience these nerves and, more importantly, how to overcome them. Through her keynote, The Four P’s of Public Speaking, she shares practical, real-world techniques to help audiences communicate with greater confidence, authenticity and impact.
Louise began her career presenting the FIA European Drag Racing Championships for Sky Sports and Channel 5 before joining Deutsche Welle as one of the lead presenters of Euromaxx, the broadcaster’s flagship lifestyle programme, where she spent eight years reporting from around the world. She now hosts CNBC’s America’s Next Investment.
Her career has taken her to international conferences, product launches, awards ceremonies and global broadcasts, presenting to audiences of more than 10 million people. Along the way, she has interviewed world-class talent including Sylvester Stallone and Nico Rosberg, while moderating conversations with CEOs, scientists and innovators from organisations including Google, Samsung, BMW and the European Space Agency.
It was behind the scenes at these events—often helping keynote speakers manage their nerves moments before stepping into the spotlight—that Louise began developing the communication principles behind The Four P’s of Public Speaking.

Having presented live to audiences of more than 10 million people, interviewed world-class talent and hosted global events around the world, Louise brings real-life experience—not just theory—to every keynote.
Audiences leave with practical tools they can immediately apply to communicate with greater confidence, authenticity and impact, whether they’re speaking in the boardroom, pitching to clients or stepping onto a conference stage.
Alongside her keynote speaking, Louise also offers one-to-one coaching and corporate training, helping professionals prepare compelling presentations, overcome stage fright and become more confident communicators.

I worked with Louise for the annual Fujitsu Forum Channel event in Munich. Louise is an absolute professional and safe pair of hands to assist with keynote presentations, round table moderation, and generally for prizegiving and feel good motivational events. I would recommend her to any customer running an event.
