Be Seen, Be Heard,
Get Paid What You’re Worth
What if there was nothing dimming
your light? What if everyone else could
see your worth? What if whenever you
talked, people sat up and listened?

“A lot of virtue signalling and posturing goes on around equal opportunities, but not a lot of action. Take control of your career path and your life, today.“
Speak to Shine is a brand-new quarterly magazine from David
Roylance, which is set to launch in the new year.
David’s company, Speak to Shine, has helped hundreds of corpo-
rate women “Be Seen, Be Heard and Get Paid What They’re Worth.”
In line with these objectives, the magazine has been put together
in response to an increasingly prevalent problem, namely that per-
fectly brilliant women are being overlooked, spoken over and –
frankly – squashed. If you’re not one of these women, I guarantee
that you know one.
The magazine will include interviews, case studies and features that
offer thought leadership, cover the latest developments and put for-
ward solutions.
The readership: Corporate women at board level or with board
level aspirations across industries including
(but by no means limited to) Finance, Law, Cloud Transformation,
Data Security, Technology and Healthcare.
Bestselling author David Roylance is Europe’s leading smasher

changes the world – a journey he has since continued with the UK’s
numberone business mentors, Chris and Karene Lambert-Gorwyn.

I did a workshop with David in Zürich and absolutely loved it! As an independent business owner, I need to be able to present what I do and talk in front of groups, so David’s workshop was extremely helpful. I would recommend his workshops to anyone who wants to improve the way they present or sell something, including their own services.
The most impressive part is that most of what we learned is so simple, and yet we just don’t realise it – so with very simple tweaks, you feel you are able to make a much bigger difference. I also loved the way David animated the group – he had us all hooked the entire day, and he was lovely to get to know on a personal level as well. I told so many people about him that he now has to come back to Switzerland and give a workshop like this in Geneva, too!

“Working with David has been life changing for me, both personally and professionally. I now have a wonderful and deep sense of inner confidence that has affected all areas of my life (personal and business) for the good. Lastly, my income has grown to levels I never even imagined I would be able to achieve.”
David has a knack for helping people conquer their nerves and building their confidence with breathing and posture techniques, which massively improved the performance of staff whether they were at a pitch meeting or sitting down client-handling over the phone.
David’s insight into how suited certain individuals were for specific types of communication became a useful factor in working out who should progress into client handling, staff management and new business roles within the business.
Personal communication skills are extremely important in the creative industries which is all about explaining and developing visual concepts, often to people who aren’t naturally inclined to get excited about typefaces or colour palettes, David’s work was invaluable and became a fixed budget item for the business for the last seven years.
I was lucky enough to benefit from two sessions with David in 2021.
My first session was a group session with BITA as part of International Woman’s Day, which was infinitely inspiring. David and the participants identified the ‘imposter syndrome’ many woman feel in the workplace. To know that other woman were feeling the same way as me was hugely reassuring. David then introduced his amazing accolade of work and experience and talked us through some strategies to challenge this negative way of thinking about ourselves. We also practiced vocal and movement exercises, which would help us increase our sense of power and authority when presenting and ultimately, improve our rates of success in presentations and in the board room.
Next up, I was lucky enough to benefit from a 45 minute session with David. This session really honed in on what I felt was holding me back when presenting and in meetings as an individual and how I perceived myself in the work place. We worked on vocal exercises, speech and movement exercises – all which enabled me to feel a great sense of empowerment and confidence… both in myself internally and outwardly, through the way I now present myself. I have been practicing all of the techniques David taught me on a daily basis in my working life and have seen a massive difference in the way I present and operate already.
Thank you so much David – I can’t wait to return to more sessions in the future after my MAT leave. I couldn’t recommend David’s services and training further… I mean, just take a look at his success stats!
