Preparation makes perfect.
Giving a high profile speech or presentation, hosting a meeting, small talk with dignitaries and visitors, or attending a job interview can be nerve wracking for anyone – and all the more so when English is not your mother tongue.
Yet with good preparation, such events can be approached with confidence and concluded with success.
Turn public speaking into an opportunity for success with my management coaching, which focuses on every stage of the process: from a correctly prepared speech or presentation (I can also provide this writing or copyediting service), to correct pronunciation, timing, breathing techniques, projection, stresses and dramatic pauses, body language, and cultural sensitivity.
Leverage my over twenty year’s management training experience to help you speak with power, precision and authority – and respond to your audience’s questions with pose, confidence, and even humour.

Speech editing/rewriting
Good speaking starts with good writing: full editing and/or content creation to ensure your speech makes the maximum impact.
One-off, ad hoc, or scheduled
Choose what you need: just one meeting to prepare for a specific task, or more regular to develop confidence and fluency.
