Yes, if you regularly need to speak to other people and get your message across clearly.

You do not need to be a professional speaker. You do not need to be preparing for a TEDx talk, a keynote or a huge presentation.

This coaching is for you if you speak in meetings, present to colleagues, lead conversations, pitch ideas, facilitate workshops, speak to clients or represent your work in front of others.

We can work on your message, structure, voice, body language, confidence and presence, so that the way you communicate reflects what you actually know, think and bring to the room.

As long as you are willing to practise, reflect and try things out between sessions, you can benefit from this kind of coaching.

Book a call with me and we’ll discuss your goals, your current challenges and whether I’m the right person to help.

The coaching is personalised, practical and based on your real communication goals.

We start with a kick-off session where we clarify what you want to work on, what is currently getting in the way and what kinds of speaking situations matter most to you.

From there, we work on the skills that will make the biggest difference. This might include clarifying your message, structuring your ideas, managing nerves, using your voice more effectively, improving your delivery, preparing for presentations or speaking up with more presence in meetings.

Between sessions, you will usually have small, realistic practice tasks so that the work does not stay theoretical. We use your real communication moments whenever possible, because that is where the confidence starts to build.

Every client is different, so the focus will depend on your goals, your context and the way you want to communicate.

The main objective is to start to develop a communication style that is uniquely yours, that comes from you and that you are proud of. Your individual goals may differ, and I'll adapt to what you need. Some things you can expect:

• Discover and refine a communication style that authentically reflects your individuality.
• Develop presentations, speeches, and pitches that go beyond hitting the spot – they create a lasting impact.
• Navigate diverse audiences effortlessly, adapting your approach to ensure resonance and connection.
• Streamline your preparation process, saving time and reducing stress before meetings, interviews, or presentations.
• Command attention through a masterful blend of words and presence, ensuring your message is received as intended.
• Unleash the natural harmony of your voice and body, creating a communication style that is uniquely 'you.'
• Receive continuous, insightful feedback for ongoing refinement and evolution in your communication skills.
• Engage in transformative learning through real-world milestones like presentations and events.
• Explore and align your personal aspirations with the coaching journey for a tailor-made experience.
• Experience a profound transformation where confidence and authentic communication converge.

I will provide you with regular, honest, practical feedback on your communication style and suggest ways that you can adjust and refine it along the way.

We'll use upcoming presentations and events as milestones where we can prepare, practise, perform and then reflect on, so that what you are learning is put into practise and refined as we go.

I will ask you about your aspirations during our call - that way we can decide together if I'm the right coach for you or not.

Yes. Voice is an important part of communication coaching.

The way you use your voice affects how clear, confident, warm, credible and engaging you sound. As a certified Roger Love Method vocal coach for speakers, I can help you understand what your voice is currently communicating and how to use it with more intention.

Depending on what you need, we may work on pitch, pace, pause, power, resonance, articulation, placement and breathing.

I’ll also share specific vocal warm-ups and practical speaking techniques to help you prepare your voice before presentations, meetings, interviews or other important communication moments.

This is not singing coaching and you do not need any musical experience. The techniques are designed for speaking, presenting and professional communication.

Voice work can help if you speak too fast, sound less confident than you feel, lose vocal energy, become hoarse, speak too quietly or want to sound more grounded, expressive and intentional.

Yes, absolutely. I like to meet with clients in person, whenever possible, but if you live outside of Suisse Romande, then we can have our sessions online. In any case, many presentations and events are now happening online, so developing our online presence and communications style is crucial. We can work on almost every aspect of communication through Zoom.

Absolutely. However, due to the schedule, it would be better for you to book a one-off session, or a pack of sessions, specifically focused on this presentation. That way we can just focus on this immediate presentation. If you're interested in working with me longer term, we can then discuss whether a speaker coaching package is right for you after this presentation. Book a call to discuss.

Here's a good one:

Eva is a super enthusiastic, conscientious and creative NGO professional. Along with being passionate about the mission of her organisation, she thrives in managing multiple areas and working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Eva wanted to feel more confident and natural when presenting. She also wanted to accurately reflect her experience and seniority in her interactions with colleagues and stakeholders and be more sure of her own proposals.

By regularly working together to prepare for upcoming presentations and meetings we worked on developing Eva’s voice and looked at ways for her to better prepare for her meetings and presentations.

During our sessions Eva reported a big difference in the way that she felt and approached different conversations and had many "ah ha" moments. Eva began listening out for her own filler words (ah, um, you know, like) which can make us sound less convincing and confident and increased how much she was pausing, to ensure the audience had an opportunity to process what she was saying as well as allowing Eva to breath more regularly, which resulted in a stronger and clearer voice.

We also developed positive mantras to stop the negative self-talk and started bringing in more melody into Eva’s speaking voice. Rather than switching from one meeting to the next, Eva began to build in time where she could step back, mentally and physically prepare and then engage in the next conversation with more focus and energy. She prepared in a more efficient, focused way too, which resulted in more productive meetings, where she was viewed as being more of an expert and facilitating the discussions.

Eva now feels more confident in her own skills and process for preparing for presentations and meetings. She’s well on her way to developing her own unique communications style, being more recognised for her expertise and using her voice to engage and move audiences and get her opinions across.

Most of my clients need to communicate in English, which is a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th language for them. I am an ex-English language teacher, so I can help non-natives with the additional challenges that this brings.

I can help to increase fluency and confidence in English, and correct some pronunciation issues, however the coaching is focused on speaking and presenting, it's not a language-learning course.

I've lived in Europe, surrounded by many cultures and languages, for almost 2 decades now. I love learning about different cultures and have a very open and accepting philosophy to life. I also don't believe that you need to be perfect or speak perfect English (whatever that is!) in order to be understood, to connect and to engage with others. I speak French, so if you are a francophone I can help you with a French presentation too (although I won't be correcting your French!) and we can switch into French, if necessary, for ease and explanations.

During our discovery call, I will let you know if I think you would rather benefit from an English teacher than a speaker coach.
