Why work with me
Coached by someone who's done it for real
I started as a magazine journalist, spent fifteen years in television including presenting on BBC Top Gear, and have written speeches professionally since 2012, making me the UK's most highly rated and reviewed speech writer. I've given talks around the world, including at MIT in Boston, to global CEOs in the telecoms industry, and I've helped hundreds of people find the words that matter most.
Coaching is where those two worlds meet: I help you get the words right and deliver them like you mean them.

Coaching questions
Is coaching online or in person?
Coaching is primarily one to one online, so I can work with you wherever you are in the UK, the US or beyond. In person sessions are available on request for certain engagements.
Do you coach beginners as well as experienced speakers?
Both. I work with people facing a truly nerve racking speech for the first time, and with seasoned professionals sharpening a high stakes keynote or pitch.
What's the difference between coaching and your speechwriting service?
Speechwriting is done for you: I write the speech. Coaching is done with you: I help you shape, rehearse and deliver it with confidence. Many clients combine the two.
How do I get started?
Book a short, no obligation discovery call. We talk through your speech or goal, and I recommend the right way to work together. There is no charge and no pressure.
How much does coaching cost?
It depends on which programme suits you. Occasion speaker sessions start at £295. Executive and professional programmes are tailored and quoted after your discovery call. See the two coaching pages for details.
Not sure which is right for you?
Book a short, no obligation discovery call. Tell me about your speech and I'll recommend the best way to work together.
