The world of work is a truly terrifying place. Where your communication skills are forgotten, your individuality is chipped away at, and your real voice is lost.
If you feel trapped in that cloud of confusion right now, I’ll not only pop it for you, but show you how to be yourself again, and how to get your voice heard louder than ever. It’s something I’ve always done…
Want to see some of the sectors I work with? Go here.
Back when I finished London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama, I needed a way to bring the pennies in between acting jobs. But when my lovebite-laden Job Centre Advisor told me my benefits would stop unless I took some dismal double glazing job, the only option was to set up my own business.
It was a blessing in disguise. I used my business loan to launch a children’s drama school. And as luck would have it, teaching kids how to act is the easiest job I’ve ever done. They’re fearless, full of confidence and don’t care what other people think.
The parents though? Different species. They’re so focused on getting the best for their kids that their own needs take a back seat. But when they saw how I’d transformed their kids’ confidence, they begged me to help them with theirs.
Not wanting to get stuck in a rut myself, I sold my drama school and spent the next few years travelling the world, working in theatres, teaching drama, writing books and at one point, directing the presenters of the Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul. That was an experience.
When London called, I came home, set up my own training company, teaching technical specialists, marketeers and charities how to be better public speakers, get their points across confidently, become better managers and more.
One day I could be teaching interview skills to a guy just out of prison, the next, showing CEOs how to be more assertive. It can be tough when people are struggling with confidence or think they’re better than they really are, but as a natural truth-teller, I say it as it is, and they always listen.
And the acting? That’s still going strong: I’ve won awards for the comedies I’ve produced, bounced around in comedy improv and slid on to TV.
Finding your true voice isn’t just about the way you speak. It’s about body language, non-verbal communication and even understanding other people’s personalities.
I roll all the techniques I’ve learned from theatre, improv and writing into one, and combine them with my training in psychology and NLP (the language of the mind), for fun and interactive courses that make a huge difference.
It’s why organisations of all sizes keep coming back to me for training.

Presenting and Pitching Training
For technical teams, MSLs in Pharma and clinicians who present complex, technical or scientific content and want it land clearly, confidently and without that ‘Oh, I’ve lost them’ moment halfway through slide three.
Communication & Influence Training
For leaders and specialists who need to influence stakeholders, clinicians, customers or internal decision-makers – without rambling or accidently talking themselves out of credibility.
Storytelling for Tech and Business Training
For technical leads, scientists and subject matter experts who need to turn data, detail and technical information into compelling, credible narratives – the kind that keeps attention, not sends it to sleep.
Creative Problem Solving Training
Use communication to get to better ideas faster – and turn them into action, even when your team’s scattered across time zones and half the room is secretly relying on AI to think for them.
