General Questions:
Is working with public speaking trainer right for me?
We work with people who want to boost their confidence, enhance their leadership abilities, or elevate their personal brand through improved public speaking skills.
Whether you aim to become a professional speaker, the go-to person in your field, or simply want to deliver a one-off standout speech, partnering with an expert coach is the fastest and most effective way to succeed.
However, if you’re looking to change your accent, learn English as a new language, or pursue public speaking as a hobby, our services might not be the best fit.
For professional development, leadership-focused goals, or special occasion speaking – reach out today, and let’s discuss how we can achieve your goals together.

Who We Work With:
I have very specific needs, can you help me?
We work with a broad variety of people, professions and experience levels – including:
1. Non-native speakers for whom English is a second language.
2. People with ADHD, Dyslexia, and other mental health conditions.
3. Severely anxious and phobic speakers who lack confidence.
In terms of objectives, we help people who are just beginning their public speaking journey, right the way up to those preparing for high-profile speaking events.
Whatever your needs, we’ll tailor our public speaking training to ensure you get the absolute best outcome.
Do you work with teams and groups?
Yes, we work with teams across many different industries and sectors.
We help senior leaders to develop their stage presence & credibility; teams to build confidence and communication skills; and groups and membership bodies looking to utilise public speaking within their roles.
Our training courses have helped to spark powerful public speaking skills in teams spanning finance, technology, law, marketing, PR, education, accounting, architecture, construction, and more.
Are there people or organisations you don't work with?
Our goal is to help as many people as possible become confident speakers.
However, we do reserve the right to decline working with individuals or organisations whose values or practices are not aligned with our own ethical standards. (Thankfully, that hasn’t ever happened!)
Arranging Sessions:
I work during the day, can we do our sessions in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, we have availability for coaching sessions across weekdays, evenings and weekends. So no matter how challenging your schedule is, we’ll find a time that works.
What if I can't make one of our sessions?
We ask for at least 24 hours notice if cancelling a booked session. But we get that “life happens”, so if you need to reschedule a meeting, we’ll do our best to make it work.
