About

A little context.

Hi, I’m Alistair Webster! I work as a speaking and confidence coach and AI consultant.

My background is a bit of an odd mix. I’ve worked in travel, marketing, and nonprofits — but I’ve always loved the flexibility and freedom that comes with freelancing.

I’m an Ultraspeaking-certified public speaking coach — having gone on my own journey after realising how my own weaknesses were holding me back. Now I love helping other people overcome their blockers and thrive.

These days I coach people who speak publicly — presentations, pitches — but also those who deal with some form of social anxiety, or anyone who just wants to be able to speak up a little more and be heard.

My method combines live practice with neuroscience-backed memory reconsolidation techniques — which help remove the root causes of speaking and confidence issues. Rather than training around performance blockers, I help people rewrite them.

Like a lot of people, I’ve also been amazed and terrified by the AI tools we now have available. They are not going anywhere, so I think it’s essential to stay on top of developments and understand how to get the most out of these tools, and be prepared for a changing future.

I use Claude Code to run my business, build tools that help me do more of what I want to — and to keep me organised. I’ve spent hundreds of hours building systems with it and I even wrote a short book about it.

I help other people and organisations do the same — set up AI workflows that genuinely save time and repetitive effort.

How it all fits

A lot of plates.

I do a bunch of stuff. I love working on so many different things, but at the core I have to be very organised.

I can only spin so many plates because I built a system around it, using Claude Code to build on and make maintaining existing productivity setups like Getting Things Done easy.

This is the same kind of setup I help clients build. Whether you’re a solo operator juggling too many balls, or a team that wants AI to help with the heavy lifting. See how it works.
