LEADERSHIP COACHING | SPEAKING | CAREER CHANGE | BESPOKE

Speaking and Communicating

From being a nervous wreck to loving it, that’s my journey in public speaking and business presentations.

I share with you the techniques and tricks I use to be a confident – and enjoyable to listen to! – speaker, whether 1-1, to a team, on video, or on stage. With my media training and some 300 public speaking engagements behind me, I share storytelling, body language, tone and pace, and presentation tricks and the steps to speaking with influence.

Leadership

While leadership qualities can be learned and refined, people skills, self-awareness and the will to improve must be ever-present.
Like any characteristic, leadership qualities are a mixture of an innate set of personality traits and what is learned. But nothing is set in stone. Even if you struggle with empathy, delegation or confidence we can work together on building these traits to be a better leader.
We will explore your strengths and areas to improve through a series of assessments, discussions and action plans. Then we will practice them.


What Is Coaching?

Coaching is about you. I won’t give you the answers or act the expert with you – although I may suggest options and ideas – as I help you discover how to make the journey yourself with my support as your guide, facilitator and collaborator. Our relationship may develop into mentoring – this is where I work with you to pass on skills,  knowledge and advice.

Career Transitioning?

  • I work with you to successfully accelerate and enhance your career in today’s changing market conditions
  • We define, position and align your personal brand to target your segment more effectively
  • We gather insights and enhanced self-awareness to understand your career anchors and how to leverage your strengths
  • We redesign your CV and social to beat the algorithms, grab human attention, and develop a channel strategy to identify the roles you want

Career Transitioning?

I work with you to:

  • Using tools, identify which are the primary roles that suit your work style and work personality
  • Build your personal brand
  • Then, rebuild your CV, social and other collateral to have impact and reflect your brand
  • Use tools to optimize the chances of your CV getting read by a human
  • Define a strategy for finding the types of opportunities that you want
  • Prepare you for the interviews with interview technique coaching

 

Want to improve your Leadership and Confidence?  Communication skills?

The best leaders know themselves. And they excel at communicating.

I work with you to identify your leadership strengths, perspectives, areas that can be improved, and then leverage them. You can’t sustain a work face that isn’t you – but you can leverage your strengths and improve weaker areas.

From imposter syndrome to poor communication, from visionary bias to operational bias, together we identify what you lean into, and get to the right balance.

I’ll develop your confidence, and show you how to communicate to  teams, stakeholders, and large audiences.
