Speakers Partner®
Transformational coaching program
Communication is information + emotion.
How you transmit and how you’re received makes the difference between people being willing to listen, to care, to act…or not.
We can look at your concerns and goals in any area of your communication skills.
This program gives the highest level of access to me for your speaking goals. An ongoing deep level of support to create, build and refine what’s important to you
From starting from scratch, a complete overhaul, or subtle tweaks that make all the difference to your structure, content and/or delivery. In any or all of these and more:
- presentations
- pitching for business e.g. to government departments
- speeches
- panel discussions
- media appearances
- interviews (interviewee or interviewer)

- You’re in a senior position, have never been coached and would like a complete support system and safety net behind you over a period of time.

4 possible focus areas:
Presentations, speeches, keynote or address

- ‘Sticky’ messages. How simple, emotive and clear are your messages?

What my clients are saying
THANK YOU it all went very well…it was the best public speech I have EVER done. There were over 1500 people. It was awesome.
I got there early and walked around until I owned the space, I used the breathing and centred myself…I was totally comfortable and had people come to me saying that the speech was very good.
Thank you sooo much.

Wanted you to know that I have been applying our coaching and this week had a leadership conference which I led…
I had loads of positive feedback and landed some really impactful messages. One senior leader commented that it was the best state of the union speech he had heard whilst with the company!
I must say that you have made a huge difference in my presentation skills…thanks a million
