Fearless not Faultless
Anxiety in “public speaking” is all too common. We coach people to feel at ease, develop their own style and own their voice. Authenticity is key, we don’t train people to look and sound the same.
We help your team to speak with confidence, impact and integrity, especially when time is short and targets are high, overcoming unnecessary anxiety along the way.
Strategic Storytelling
Our Storyboard is the secret weapon to create persuasive, impactful presentations in minutes.
Clear. Concise. Confident. Compelling. Credible.
“Don’t ask yourself - what do they need to say? Ask instead - what do they need to hear?”

Workshops
Delivered online or in-person, our signature programmes incorporate practical exercises, independent assignments and individual critique and coaching
Tangible Results
“I would not change anything about the sessions. I think it was very helpful that everyone was working on their own presentations throughout the programme, so we could support each other and give valuable feedback. I liked the atmosphere a lot, it was a “safe space” , fun and productive.”
“My presentation could not have gone better! I truly enjoyed it and felt like I was ‘a natural’. This was not always like that. I worked with Nicky on various occasions. She is an excellent public speaking coach. She is confident, supportive and professional. She helped me to figure out how to tell the story and gain confidence when presenting. I could not be more grateful!”
“I attended all sessions and found it to be very helpful. The sessions presented by Nicky were very well laid out and very interactive. She made you feel at ease and provided useful and critical feedback. The recording of our presentations was extremely helpful and eye opening... The tool kit and especially the storyboard layout she provided is something that will be adopted and will steer my future presentations.”
“I can’t recommend this course highly enough. As someone who felt fairly confident with presenting and preparing for presentations, I was keen to understand how I could further develop my confidence and deal with my main issues of ‘pausing and pacing’. The storyboard concept is fantastic and really created a ‘lightbulb moment’ for me - again something I will use is many aspects of my job, not just presenting. A definite 10/10!

“I could never have achieved that level of performance without your coaching, so thank you.”
