Published on: 10th October, 2025

‘he mediocre presenter believes that they can run through their presentation a couple of times beforehand and if it makes sense to them then it will be fine for their audience.

The Mindful Presenter does everything they can to make their content a part of themselves and so they spend many hours rehearsing.

Not memorising, just rehearsing.

They know their content inside and out and leave no stone unturned in ensuring that everything they have crafted to say and the way they say it will be of significance to their audience.

Mindful presenting is about internalising our message.

Solution – Own your message – Internalise your message. Practice the verbal and non-verbal expression of your presentation.

About the Podcast

Mindfully Speaking
The keys to presenting with confidence, presence & impact
Mindfully Speaking is the future of high impact public speaking & presenting. This podcast tells you in a clear, compelling and inspirational way everything you need to know about high impact public speaking and presenting. Many presentations today (especially business presentations) are far too long, repetitive, uninspiring and boring.

We live in a world of noise where everyone is so busy being busy they don't have time for more unhelpful, long drawn out information. Mindful Presenter was created through a combination of frustration, curiosity and passion. Maurice DeCastro, the founder of Mindful Presenter Ltd in London, UK reveals the real truth about what it takes to craft and deliver a content rich, compelling presentation.

Having spent years in the board room of some of the UK's best loved brand Maurice and the team at mindful presenter are leading the way in helping presenters connect emotionally as well as intellectually. The Mindful Presenter Truths Series is a podcast which is highly rich in content designed to challenge, inspire and empower presenters or aspiring public speakers to lead each time they speak and present.

Profile picture for Maurice DeCastro

Maurice DeCastro

After 20 years of senior executive experience with some of the UK's most successful brands I left the board room to embark on a mission to help individuals and organisations present and speak in a way that is refreshingly different and immensely effective.

Mindful Presenter Ltd is the culmination of many years of frustration, curiosity and passion.

Frustration with the way so many highly intelligent, creative and talented business professionals were numbing colleagues and clients with their presentations.

Curiosity - That there must be another way. A way to share knowledge, data and information in a manner that creates a memorable emotional connection as well as an intellectual understanding.

Passion - The unequivocal resolve to find that other way. Presentation skills training and high impact public speaking skills courses and coaching which lead the way in authentic and powerful communication.

Today I coach professionals in the new science of presenting; connecting through presence, empathy and the power of stories.

Mindful Presenter was founded and flourishes on a core belief:

Connecting is everything!
