Cally says that the best way to prepare is to imagine yourself doing all of the right things in your talk. If you see yourself succeeding in your imagination, reality is sure to follow.

Cally Beaton is an expert at creating comedy. Whether while working as an entertainment executive for some of the world’s biggest companies or taking the stage as an award-winning stand-up comic, Cally has proven that she can make humour happen.

Cally is a master of captivating crowds. Whether in the boardroom or on stage at corporate events, Cally knows what it takes to give a memorable performance.

Cally Beaton and I have so much in common having, over the years, both been deeply involved in similar areas like corporate speaking, TV, comedy, popular psychology and executive coaching. As Cally said at the start of the interview, “we could be the same person”. This interview finally puts paid to that theory – or does it?!
