For the past 15 years, Gus German has helped thousands of people across Australia, the USA, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific to speak and present more confidently and effectively – and gain the respect, recognition and results they deserve. Gus taught them to “nail” their presentations, without the nerves.

Gus believes that we all have the potential to truly inspire others, regardless of our title, our background or where we work. He also believes that these skills can be nurtured and put to great use through the art of public speaking. It’s for this reason that Gus is so passionate about helping others to find their inner influencer and to become authentic and fearless presenters.

Gus has written and published education manuals for several corporations, presented in front of audiences of over 1000, coached CEOs of multi-million dollar companies. He has travelled overseas to train employees of multinational companies. He has trained people at various cities in the USA, like Seattle, LA, Washington DC and Las Vegas, he also trained people in India, Japan, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Argentina, Singapore and Australia.

What Gus is most proud of is having touched the lives of the people he has helped, in a way that transformed them into more confident, more skilled, more successful, happier and with a bigger, bolder vision for themselves than they had before they met him.

Gus was always an introvert who has feared and avoided public speaking most of his life. His journey from a life of silence to a career as a corporate leader and then as a public speaking coach and inspirational speaker still surprises him. He uses this journey and his lived experiences to ensure his clients become confident and effective at their Public Speaking.

Public speaking is still the number one fear and many people avoid it at all costs. However Gus found that it is so important in your career and everyday life. He did not progress out of Electronics Engineering towards Senior Management until he learned to eliminate his fears and became proficient at public speaking. It has helped in his corporate career as well as in his family life by communicating with his 3 teenage daughters efficiently and in his love life.

Gus’s background is in corporate management, he started with a Degree in Electronics Engineering, then various Diplomas in Project Management, and an MBA, Counselling and Public Speaking. Gus worked in the corporate world as a Senior Manager in the Building Automation industry for over 25 years. Over the years, he developed a professional versatility as well as a knack for creating and maintaining a comfortable and productive working atmosphere with clients and colleagues. Gus also had to present reports at multiple shareholders meetings and at AGMs. He eventually realised that he enjoyed more coaching people in Public Speaking and to improve their general communication skills than his corporate job, so he decided to coach people full time.

Gus helps organisations, leaders and individuals unlock their potential through effective and inspirational public speaking. He teaches them to share their message and their passion through the spoken word.
