MY STORY
AUSTRALIA’S TRUSTED SPEECHWRITER & PUBLIC SPEAKING COACH
The Speechwriter Australia was founded by me, Nicole Thomson-Pride, in 2020. I risked it all and left the comfort and security of my executive-level speechwriter role in the Australian Public Service to follow my heart.
As a speechwriter, I’ve written speeches for two Australian Prime Ministers, other Federal Government Ministers, high-profile government leaders, CEOs and executives.
I’ve written speeches for some of the nation’s biggest occasions, like Australia Day and Anzac Day, as well as following a terrorist attack. I’ve also written speeches about climate change, domestic violence and defence.
I’ve long known the importance of words to shift beliefs, adopt the right mindset, improve wellbeing, navigate complex emotions and successfully achieve change… and now I know the science to help explain why and how.
I harness the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to teach people about how our brains work so they can be more powerful communicators and achieve better results, both for themselves and others.
