Benjamin Delahaye is a Swiss TV stand-up comedian, a professional moderator at tech events, and a multilingual performer (EN, DE, FR). Finalist at the Olten Kabarett Casting 2021 and creator of Crave Speaking, he blends comedy, performance and real-world business experience into a new kind of public speaking coaching, one that feels playful instead of painful.
What is Crave Speaking?
Public speaking can feel like stepping into a hostile environment with nothing but a shaky voice and a PowerPoint. The fear is real: body sweating, heart pounding, and that nagging voice whispering, “You’re gonna flop.”
But what if learning to speak in front of a crowd felt less like torture and more like peace of mind?
Enter Crave Speaking, a public speaking training approach built on foolproof, bite-sized steps that make learning feel like play. You’ll find your voice, build confidence, and begin to crave the moment you step on stage.
Introvert? Shy? No worries. Crave Speaking meets you exactly where you are: gently, supportively, and without judgment. Whether it's nailing a work presentation, a conference, a wedding toast, or pitching your big idea, you’ll walk into every speaking moment with anticipation, not dread.
Your authentic self is your secret weapon and we’ll show you how to wield it like a pro.
Empower teams with playful, practical communication training. Corporate programs include:
Choose the format that matches your ambition:
Ever stared at a podium like it's a guillotine? We've all been there: heart hammering, mind blanking, secretly plotting your escape route. But imagine ditching that doom loop for a thrill ride where you actually crave the mic.
That's the CRAVE Method: a playful and practical blueprint to make public speaking as addictive as your latest bings-watch. No soul-crushing drills or fake-it-till-you-make-it: just playful steps that build real skills, real confidence, and real results.
Public speaking is not about you. In a way, it's not about your audience either (even though influencing them is the final goal). It's about putting your mind to being the best messenger to carry the energy of the message. Shift from “What if they judge me?” to “How can I serve the value of this message?” and suddenly you’re powering up the room instead of surviving it.
Perfection is exhausting. Learn to redefine success so every talk feels like a win. Bounce back with grace and turn “oops” into “on purpose.”
Dry data? Who cares. But wrap it in a story, and bam: your audience is hooked like it's the season finale cliffhanger. We'll teach you to craft narratives that stick, making your points memorable without the yawn factor.
Why are poems structured in verses? Because each verse fits one breath. Borrow this performer’s secret: speak one idea per exhale. It keeps your delivery natural and your mind calm: no more breathless rambling.
Channel the performers who memorize hours of content without fear. Simple, reliable techniques help you embed key ideas so deeply they surface automatically — even when distractions hit like a comedy roast.
Your body speaks before you do. Learn natural, pressure-proof posture and movement that reflect confidence rather than imitate it.
Tech tanks? Left-field questions? Brain burps? You’ll learn recovery moves that turn potential disasters into delightful detours that impress the crowd.
Fast-forward to the moment after CRAVE. You’re not just surviving speeches, you’re savoring them.
That pre-talk pulse? It’s excitement now, like queuing for the best roller coaster. Boardrooms become playgrounds.
People who used to stare at their phones now lean in. You trigger nods, laughs, and “aha!” moments. Goodbye crickets; hello engagement.
Your ideas cascade like a pro podcast. No scrambling, fumbling, or blanking: just natural connection and clarity.
Backstage butterflies buzz with anticipation, not panic.
You radiate expert energy without forcing charisma. Colleagues whisper, “How does she do that?” Promotions, applause, leadership presence, all upgraded.
The CRAVE Method isn’t just a course. It’s the moment you fall in love with speaking.
