Hello world

My first experience of public speaking was at a school assembly in Scotland (don’t worry you will be able to understand my accent!). With butterflies in my stomach, I stepped on stage for the first time relishing the experience and have never looked back.

I still love the buzz of delivering keynote speeches at conferences, speaking at competitions and debates, embracing the role of spokesperson and master (Madame) of ceremony for weddings and braving stand-up comedy. I want you to experience that buzz personally and professionally too. I really enjoy empowering my clients so that they can feel comfortable, ready and able to deliver key messages in an authentic way.

As an internationally experienced public speaking trainer, facilitator, coach and speech writer, I am privileged to help coach and support my clients, from all walks of life, in the development of their public speaking and communication skills. With a 12-year corporate career in banking, finance and risk management, I understand first-hand the challenges clients face in running technical training, presenting to leadership and regulators, and running meetings.

My formal qualifications and practical public speaking experience has enabled me to develop and facilitate Public Speaking for Life in partnership with Tarek. I bring energy, insight and honest feedback and am passionate about making YOU and YOUR TEAMS public speaking and communication dreams become a reality.
