Public Speaking & Communications Coaching

Helping people tell their stories.

About

As a professional actor, writer, and director I spent much of my early professional life temping in offices. During this time, I noticed a significant skill gap between myself and my more senior colleagues. While they possessed technical expertise I lacked, my soft skills and the adaptability of that skill set far outpaced them, even as a temporary worker passing. through. It was this realisation that led me to public speaking and communications coaching.

Using acting techniques and rehearsals practices, I create bespoke public speaking workshops based on clients’ individual needs. I aim to empower students to communicate with effective ease and ensures they have the tools to tell their story in an impactful way that is entirely their own.

Workshops are available for individuals or large groups, online or in person, are adaptable and deliver practical tools that students can apply throughout their lives.
