My Services
People think that public speaking is an innate skill - that you’re a born public speaker, or you’re not. Even the best public speakers will tell you that what appears ‘natural’, is actually the result of a lot of training, practice, and hard work.
Some people may have a natural talent for communication, a lack of fear when standing up in front of a crowd, or the charisma to manage a challenging presentation, but even without these natural assets, every single person has the potential to become a great public speaker.
1 to 1 Public Speaking Training
I work with individuals to help them prepare for speeches, panels and media interactions. Coaching is personalised and tailored to your needs - I can help you with presentations, forming and shaping speeches, public speaking techniques and calming your nerves. Whether it is for a university or job interview, an industry presentation, a wedding speech, or a conference keynote speech, I can support you to be your best.
Panel Chair and Moderator
I work with corporations, businesses and events companies to moderate, chair and speak on panels, as well as to deliver keynote speeches. Whether you’re arranging an internal event, in industry wide conference, or looking for someone to deliver a keynote speech on topics such as confidence, empowerment or tackling inequalities, I can ensure that your speakers have a chance to shine, that your event is a success and that your audience leave feeling enthused, informed and invigorated by the session. I have interviewed and moderated panels with politicians, business leaders, industry specialists and academics including Dr Shashi Tharoor, The Rt. Hon. Sir Hugh Robertson KCMG DL, William Dalrymple and Mr GP Hinduja.
Group Public Speaking Coaching
I work with large corporations, SMEs, community groups, education providers and political groups to coach groups on the essential skills for public speaking. I teach how to build impactful speeches for your audience, how to handle tricky questions and how to exploit speaking opportunities on panels. The training includes lots of interactive activities, and plenty of opportunities to practice your new skills.
A successful referral for a corporate booking will give you one free hour of 1:1 training (worth £120).

I run 4 week courses covering the essentials of public speaking. These classes are a great way to develop your skills and build a community of peers to practice with.
