PSA Scotland West August 2026: Speak From the Inside Out – Delivery, Confidence & Alignment

About this event

This August, PSA Scotland West brings together two experienced speakers and coaches for an interactive evening focused on how we speak, how we connect and how we make more of the capability we already have.

Whether you are a professional speaker, an emerging speaker, a business owner, a trainer, a coach or someone who wants to communicate with more confidence and impact, this session is designed to help you sharpen both your delivery and your self-awareness.

You will leave with practical tools, fresh insight and clear actions you can use in your speaking, presenting, pitching and professional life.

Calum Moore: The Three Secrets to Exceptional Speaking – Commitment, Pacing & Variety

Why do some speakers completely capture a room, while others fade into the background?

In this interactive workshop, public speaking and communication coach Calum Moore will introduce the CPV Method: Commitment, Pacing and Variety.

Cal will explore how these three qualities work individually, before bringing them together to help you create a genuinely magnetic delivery. This session will challenge you to think differently about how you use your voice, how you connect with your words and how you affect the audience in front of you.

By attending this session, you will learn:

• What it means to truly commit to your words and how this changes the way your audience feels
• Why pace is not simply about how fast you talk, but about the placement of words and the vocal energy behind your sentences
• A deceptively simple technique to help you create consistent and effective vocal variety

Patrick Mercie: The 4 Inner Compasses to Success

Most people already have what it takes to succeed, but they are not always fully using it.

We often build our careers and businesses around what we have done, while overlooking what is actually driving us underneath: our strengths, values, passions and belief management.

In this interactive keynote, Patrick Mercie will introduce the 4 Inner Compasses of Success, known as SVPB, and show how greater alignment with these drivers can lead to more sustainable success.

By attending this session, you will learn how to:

• Understand the 4 Inner Compasses and how they influence what you do
• Make better use of what is already there, rather than constantly adding more
• Use a simple 4-step framework to question and reset beliefs when they get in the way
• Leave with one clear action to unlock more of your existing capability

Why attend?

Come ready to take part, learn something new and leave with actions you can use straight away.
