Hi. I’m a public speaking and presentation coach based in York, England.

As humans, we’re wired to find speaking to large groups stressful, tiring and sometimes overwhelming. My life’s passion is helping you grow your speaking confidence, moving you from avoiding speaking situations to loving them. The world is filled with wonderful people and wonderful ideas - I love bringing both out into the world so they can flourish.

I work with business owners, organisations and private individuals. My passion comes from years of personal and business experience. Most of my working life has been presenting to large-scale audiences and national organisations. I’m also the President and the Education Director of York Speakers Club. Feel free to reach out - I only bite people a lot later into knowing them !

How I Help

Keynote Speaking

Every business should have presentation training for new hires the moment they join. Most don’t, creating scared presenters who copy bad habits from managers who’ve had no training either. This creates a permanent cycle of unconfident employees who struggle to show their talent and actively avoid presenting at every chance - not to mention boring their audience. It’s a serious problem nobody thinks about because it’s so normalised today.

My How to become a confident presenter as quickly as possible keynote is for businesses who want to raise the bar of their employees’ presentations - crammed with unique insights, entertaining explanations and takeaways which can be put into action immediately. Learn why presenting is so challenging, what separates the confident from the rest, and how to improve the messaging, clarity and engagement of any presentation.

Private Coaching and Presentation Workshops

My knowledge and skills cover all aspects of communication. I build my workshops bespoke to each client depending on their problems and goals.

My private coaching is also completely unique to your needs. From short feedback sessions and co-creating content, to long term coaching and skills development. I get my joy when someone goes from dreading large audiences to seeing a whole new side of themselves which can take them anywhere.

Event and Panel Hosting

I have a very enthusiastic and high energy speaking style. From industry interviews to award ceremonies, my clients say I instantly raise the energy in the room and make the event entertaining and memorable.

I also work as a facilitator for big meetings and away-days. I find that sometimes an unfamiliar face is needed to help push teams out of normal habits and allow everyone to get involved.
