Leadership development

Success in life and business depends on clear, confident communication — particularly when the stakes are high.

I offer live learning focused on real workplace communications – engaging with customers, presenting and teamwork – at all levels of organisations.

With a background in public speaking, corporate communications, group facilitation and stage improvisation I bring practical insight and fresh energy to the training room.

With 25+ years experience, I’ve worked with forward-thinking groups at EACH, Mind, Imperial College, AstraZeneca, NHS, Barclays, and Shell.

If you’d like to discuss workshops or programmes — drop me a line.

"The team couldn't speak highly enough of the time they spent with you."

“A big thank you for the training yesterday – the team returned here energised, enthused, and couldn’t speak highly enough of the time they spent with you.”

Learning by doing. No boring waffle or slides.

Discover the potential in yourself and others.

Transformative learning

I find people get more from communication training that feels human and authentic.

I push back the tables and invite people to join a relaxed conversation and experiment where people can connect, explore, play, share, rest, laugh and learn. 

We only learn these skillsconnection with others through direct personal experience in hen the learning sticks!
