My combined experience in Senior Management, International Training and my own training and subsequent professional work as an actor, mean I am highly aware of how essential effective communication is in all aspects of business.  (I am an Associate and Coach with The Training Box and details of their website is to be found on the relevant page of this website).

I can draw on this broad and varied background of skills to help you develop your individual power in all areas of your personal impact as a successful business executive and entrepreneur. I work one-on-one as a Vocal Coach to enable you to strengthen your vocal qualities and production. This in turn will help to give you more weight and authority when expressing your views and ideas.

I have direct experience in making persuasive presentations. I can help you to find ways to present your ideas with clarity that will influence those you need to listen to and act on your ideas. 

I also design bespoke programmes for individuals and small groups (up to 6) that can address platform skills when delivering ideas to others.
