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 thousands 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.

Public speaking coaching questions
Who do you coach?
Anyone who has to speak and wants to do it better: professionals, managers, founders, people facing an interview or a big presentation, and nervous first time speakers. If standing up to speak matters to you, I can help.
I get really nervous. Can coaching still help?
Yes, that is exactly what most of my clients come for. Nerves are normal and very beatable with the right techniques and preparation. We build your confidence step by step.
Is coaching online or in person?
Online by default, so we can work together wherever you are in the UK, the US or beyond. In person sessions can be arranged on request.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goal. A single session suits a specific talk; the programme is for a lasting change; big-talk prep is for one high stakes moment. We agree the right fit on your discovery call.
Can you help with a specific upcoming talk?
Absolutely. Bring the real talk, pitch or interview and we will get it ready together, from the message to the delivery.
Do you write the talk as well as coach it?
I can. As a professional speechwriter I can develop the script and then coach the delivery, a rare combination. Or explore speech writing on its own.
Ready to speak with confidence?
Tell me what you're working towards and I'll recommend the best way to get you there.
