What do you love most about your job?
Helping my clients achieve the confidence and skills they are looking for to take them to the next step.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was keen to make my own decisions on how best to develop great leaders, based on my own life experiences working with people in very different sectors, rather than having to stick to a prescribed way of working that didn't offer scope for being able to offer a more bespoke way of working based on the individual themselves, rather than a 'method.'
Why should our clients choose you?
My background is pretty unique - if you are looking to present well, I have all the formal acting training, together with the Masters in Voice Studies from one of the most prestigious training academies in world (RCSSD, part of the University of London) together with real life front line working at the BBC as a Continuity announcer for 2 years, as a TV Presenter working in real time and as a voice over artist. This combined with voice and communication teaching both here in the UK and abroad (Amsterdam, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow etc) for many blue chip companies helping individuals get to the next step gives me a wealth of experience to assist me working with you also.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Presently during the pandemic I have had to go to online only, but that said, I am hoping to restart seeing clients in person either later this year or next in Central London (usually near the City) for individual clients and I am happy to travel further afield for delivering workshops to groups at company premises from 2022. Feel free to ask and I'll do my best!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Really the decision to coach online. It's tricky to coach voice in person at the moment due to the restrictions though I am hoping, as I said to meet clients in person once things get easier and we are sure of keeping everyone safe. Most of my current clients find with working from home it is useful to hook into voice training at their convenience.
CONFIDENT PRESENTATIONS
Practical methods to help harness fears and allow true potential to be agile communicators in the workplace. With a direct focus on breath, body language, and presence taken from a holistic standpoint. Participants are able to work on their own presentations and deliver them to the other attendees with guidance from the voice trainer together with feedback.
STRATEGIC STORYTELLING
Defining why storytelling can help deliver a message that resonates with your audience.
How to add dynamic vocals, emotive language and gesture for increased impact.
Structuring your message in story form that you can use as a template for future presentations.
COMMUNICATION IN THE WORKPLACE
The opportunity to evaluate how our body language and influential style reads to others and how best to build rapport with stakeholders, adapting to the current situations by flexing your approach in the use of voice, language, body language and intention.
POWERFUL WOMEN - FINDING YOUR VOICE
This is aimed specifically at women in the workplace.
It gives you time to consider how using the strengths of the physical self can help produce greater volume and purpose where needed. Through holistic practice and theory we build our confidence to fine tune our behaviours and show up with greater commitment to our message. This is also the perfect opportunity to consider how to adapt from delivering over online platforms, to face to face meetings as many of us return to the office environment.
ONLINE VERSUS FACE-TO- FACE COMMUNICATION
Consider main differences between online and face- face- communication in the workplace.
Examine how we really come across on camera and how we manage expectations.
Our need to adopt more flexibility as many of us return to the office environment and ways to increase our energy levels in the spoken word.
Conversation versus Presentation - from focus on the lens for the meetings online to the big power up for future conferences.
Exploring theory for choosing how present you are in the moment and how to recognise that in yourself and others.
