Professional theatre and opera director

Why a theatre director? Because attention works the same way everywhere. The craft that makes an audience lean in during a packed opera is exactly what makes a boardroom go quiet and listen — and after 20 years on the stage, that's what I teach speakers to do.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I overcome the fear of public speaking?

Stage fright is best overcome by speaking in front of an audience in a safe, controlled setting — slowly, with precise feedback. In 1:1 coaching, director Viesturs Meikšāns gives you practical techniques to control your nerves the moment you're in front of people, so you leave feeling lifted rather than anxious.

Do you offer online public speaking coaching?

Yes. Every individual coaching session and most company workshops run either online or in person — your choice. Online sessions are 1:1 over video with the same personalised, real-time feedback.

Do you provide communication training for companies and teams?

Yes — tailored public speaking and communication training for teams: presentation skills, storytelling, persuasion, media training, delivering bad news and more. Programs are adapted to your industry and run in person or online.

What happens in a 1:1 coaching session?

A session is 60 minutes one-to-one with Viesturs Meikšāns, focused on exactly what you need — structure, body language, voice, storytelling, controlling nerves, or polishing a specific talk. You get direct, personalised feedback on your strengths and weak spots.

How does pricing and payment work?

Individual sessions are €200 each; company programs are quoted to your needs. Once you tell us you're interested via the contact form, we send a proposal and an invoice — no upfront online checkout.

Who is the coach?
