Storytelling and presenting are part of our everyday jobs and a key part of being able to influence people and manage perceptions. All of us have the power and ability to be engaging and compelling storytellers and speakers.
But public speaking can be nerve-wracking; many famed and accomplished actors suffer from stage fright from time to time.

Rachel Drinkwater has been a Business Analyst for over 20 years, which often comes as a bit of a shock, as she doesn’t feel old enough to have been doing anything for 20 years. She is passionate about the profession and is active in the BA community, as a writer, blogger, conference and events speaker, lecturer and IIBAUK volunteer.
Rachel is also passionate about the arts and is an actor and a former Board Director of Teatro Theatre School, a charity who help disadvantaged young people build their confidence through the arts.
In her spare time, she enjoys touring and performing with her comedy troupe, hiking around the countryside, doing yoga, playing board games, and going to gigs and festivals.
Simon Clark has had a varied career starting with life in financial audit. After quickly realising this wasn’t for him, at some point he fell into the change world where he has been for over 20 years, the last 9 years in the analysis space.
He is often used in firefighting/turnaround situations and is mildly surprised he has not spontaneously combusted as a result. Simon enjoys a varied role overseeing programmes and practice development, and is passionate about evolving new ways of working.
He has narrowed his mid-life crisis to just 3 days, booking a long weekend away in Ibiza to go clubbing. He is slightly nervous about this having thought it seemed like a good idea at the time.
