Breaking The Script

Jack Chen built a million-pound tech startup by twenty-seven.

But ask him to speak about it on stage? Absolutely not.

Speaking invitations promised £5,000 fees and industry influence. Jack ignored them all. His crippling stage fright meant opportunity after opportunity slipped away.

Then his best mate Kieran, a struggling actor and comedian, proposed an unconventional solution: learn public speaking through the performing arts. Months of improv workshops, acting classes, and stand-up comedy open mics led to a transformation that Jack didn’t expect.

Breaking the script follows Jack's journey from terror to triumph, revealing five principles that work on stage and in business presentations: commit your energy, eliminate nervous habits, internalise instead of memorise, structure for attention, and do the reps.
