Public Speaking Coach

David McCrae

David McCrae helps aspiring speakers find their voice, tell their story, and share their message on stage and on camera. When David lost his dad to cancer at age 22, he realised that he was not making the most of his life, and serving others to his full potential. David dedicated himself to public speaking, knowing that he could make the most of his abilities and impact the largest number of people through this medium. David is the author of four #1 Amazon bestselling books in three different categories, won 10 Scottish public speaking competitions and was the UK and Ireland Champion in 2025, as well as TEDx Coach.
 David has worked with clients in nineteen countries who have spoken for the NHS, HMRC, Sky News, HM Prison Service, Booking.com and The King’s Trust. He has spoken for the BBC, Aviva, Bank of Scotland, Virgin Money, Bookboon, and the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Strathclyde.
