The missing piece in your
thought leadership strategy...

There comes a point in your career where you realise speaking isn't just a skill, it's a force-multiplier. One that puts you rooms you never thought you'd be in, gets your ideas noticed and creates life-defining opportunities.

But right now, it's not working hard enough for you.

  • You're already in-demand, but there's plenty more potential to unlock.
  • You're having to figure it all out yourself, and it's taking way longer than it should.
  • Your message isn't landing, and it's not getting the traction it deserves.
  • You're getting booked inconsistently, each gig feels like you're starting from scratch.
  • You're attracting the wrong opportunities, or not enough of the right ones.
  • Every decision, from positioning to landing gigs and pricing is guesswork; and it's exhausting.

That's where MicDrop comes in.

We help our members use speaking to enhance everything that they do.

Whether it's landing more clients, growing their audience or getting booked to speak on bigger stages (and for bigger fees).

We're a community for solopreneurs, founders, authors and speakers on their thought leadership journey - helping them unlock the true potential of their ideas whilst providing the support, structure and expertise to make it happen.

Here's what you get from Day One

Start together, stay together

Your journey begins with our new member welcome party. It's the moment where speaking stops being a solo game and starts being a community one. You'll:

✔️ Meet new members

✔️ Get onboarded

✔️ Take your first step


You'll come away safe in the knowledge you're with
your people - the kind who've got your back and will challenge and champion you in the best possible way.

Unlock your personal suite of assets

By the end of your first hour, you'll have access a suite of assets that we have pre-prepared for you, including your:

✔️ Deep Speaker Profile

✔️ Speaker Bio

✔️ Podcast Guest Brief

So you can skip the admin and put your energy where it matters most; implementing the strategies that will get you booked to speak and amplify your ideas.

Progress with confidence

From there, you're not going to be left to figure this out on your own. We know every member's journey looks different, so we'll give you handheld guidance to make sure you always know your next move.

✔️ Clear steps, no guesswork

✔️ Personalised feedback

✔️ Support & accountability


The kind of support you'd expect from a high-ticket programme, but here, it's simply part of MicDrop community life.

As a member you'll have...

Mentorship from me 🚀

Because you don’t need another playbook. You need someone outside your head to spot what you can’t. We deliberately cap the number of members so we can provide an exceptional level of support.

Speaking ops 🤫

Imagine 150+ members keeping an ear to the ground for speaking opportunities. That's how we hear about the kind of speaking opportunities that most people never do. From industry-renowned events like TEDx, SXSW and Davos, to private internal events at some of the world's biggest companies. When something comes up, we share it.


Shared accountability 📈

Take part in quarterly challenges to fast-track your growth. From focused sprints on nailing your message and improving your storytelling, to landing more gigs and increasing your fees, you won't be doing it alone. You'll be surrounded by others on the same journey; taking action, cheering you on and sharing wins every step of the way.

Real support 🫶

When you need it most. Not sure what to charge, how to pitch, or just need a gut check - you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Our hub is a safe space for members to ask real questions and get honest, helpful answers.

No fluff, no judgement - just people who’ve been there, sharing what works.

Member Meet-ups 🫶

We don't meet up in person often, but when we do we make it count. The usual format? An evening of short talks followed by small, curated dinners at local restaurants in London.

For some, an opportunity to get filmed speaking, for others an opportunity to be inspired and connect in real life with people who just get it.

Everything you need ⚡️

...to take action in your own time. Inside our knowledge base you'll find a library of tools, resources and templates whenever you need them.

Work with an AI coach to design your next talk or workshop, get access to templates, proven scripts and £750+ worth of on-demand courses.

Meet your coach...

Meet Alex... ▶

I've spent the last decade helping leaders unlock the true potential of their ideas. I've been a start-up COO, the curator of TEDxClapham, and now advise Founders of some of the world's fastest-growing start-ups and scale-ups as a public speaking coach.

Talks I've worked on have gone on to change government legislation, sparked movements, go viral, and helped raise over £300m in funding.

The irony that I've spent much of my life avoiding public speaking isn't lost on me! It's not something that comes naturally to me. I learned how to present well because, like many of our members, I didn't have a choice.

I share this because it gives me a rather unique lens on what it really takes to communicate big ideas. I have a business mind, a deep understanding of audience psychology and have seen first-hand how the right message, delivered to the right audience at the right time can change everything - and that is why I do what I do!

As a member you get direct access to me and you will receive the same kind of support that my coaching clients get but at a fraction of the cost.

And I can't wait to give it, because when all is said and done, I'm on the very same journey as you!

Carefully vetted for high impact 🚀


MicDrop isn't a community that people can join at any time.

Why? Because we're building something rather wonderful and we want to do everything we can to preserve it.

Rather than growth at all costs, we're being really intentional about who we let in.

We want to invest as much time and care in our members as possible. So every member will be hand-selected on a rolling basis.

If you are ready to take your public speaking and thought leadership skills to the next level, then we invite you to apply!

We get it - everyone in MicDrop is busy, and time is precious.

MicDrop is here to support you, not add to your workload.

Many of our members have 5x their return in one conversation.

My focus is on providing you with a few game-changing insights throughout the year to make your membership pay for itself and more.

Questions I'd ask 🤔

MicDrop Q&A

No. MicDrop is not a course.

We are a community for thought leaders who speak. All of our members are using speaking to amplify their ideas and turn them into the very thing they become sought after for.

Because we are a community, not a curriculum, you get the exact support you need at the moment you need it. There is no falling behind and no set path you must follow.

Most people treat speaking as a solo pursuit - which makes progress slow and isolating. Inside MicDrop, you are surrounded by people on the same journey, at different levels, all willing to help.

You are not doing this alone. And you will move far quicker because of it.

Your first month is about installing the systems that help you become sought after.

You will work on:

  • Getting clear on what you want to be known for,
  • Sharpening your positioning,
  • Putting the foundational systems in place that are going to help you become a sought-after speaker.

By the end of your first month, you will have the clarity, structure and strategy that most speakers spend years trying to piece together on their own.

After your first month, our job is to support you as you work towards your speaking and thought leadership goals.

A typical month includes:

  • Weekly live sessions you can dip in and out of depending on what you need. These include masterminds, live coaching calls and our quarterly accountability sprints.
  • Monthly office hours, where you can get live coaching from Alex.
  • Evergreen tools inside MicDrop OS that you can use whenever you need clarity, structure or feedback.

Most importantly of all, you are surrounded by a community who will support you, challenge your thinking and help you move faster. Members collaborate with each other, share what has worked (and what has not), recommend one another for opportunities and help each other overcome sticking points in real time. It is a place where progress happens through conversation, connection and collective experience, not in isolation.

MicDrop is not about how much time you spend inside the community. It is about the actions you take outside of it.

If you can devote a couple of hours each week to your speaking and thought leadership goals, you will make meaningful progress.

We are here to support you with that - through clarity, direction and the right nudge at the right moment - but it is the real world action you take that moves the needle.

Most members use MicDrop as a support system they tap into when they need guidance, momentum or accountability.

We believe there are two ways to land speaking opportunities. You can chase them or be chosen. We've spent years researching how the most sought-after thought leaders land their speaking opportunities and the answer is always the same… When someone needs a speaker, the first thing they do is ask their network. This is why the best speaking opportunities never go public. Everything we do inside the community is about helping you become the person that people recommend - so that when those conversations happen behind closed doors, your name is the one that comes up.

Support in MicDrop works on one simple principle: you get help when you ask for it.

Support can look like:

  • A clear next step when you are unsure,
  • A nudge when you are hesitating,
  • A strategy tweak that removes friction,
  • Real time coaching when you need a breakthrough,
  • Honest, specific feedback you can act on immediately,
  • Quarterly accountability sprints to help you take action.

MicDrop is not a passive community. Members who ask for help and lean into the process move the fastest.

There are two main ways to get feedback direct coaching from him:

  • You can book a slot on the monthly office hours call, where Alex coaches members live on their specific challenges.
  • You can post inside the hub, where Alex provides personal feedback, guidance and direction whenever you need it.

And importantly, you are not only learning from Alex. Across the community, our members bring hundreds of years of combined experience in speaking, leadership, business and thought leadership. Many of the questions you have will be best answered by people who have been exactly where you are now, which is why the community is such a powerful accelerant to your progress.

You will never be short of support, insight or guidance.

Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of gaining full access to the hub, excluding any bank processing fees.

It is important to us that every member feels they are getting value from being part of the community.
