Her style is warm and humorous but with a clear understanding around how to hold clients to account.  Her work over the last 18 years has allowed her to work in a coaching and training relationship with diverse nationalities, professions and people.

She‘s designed and delivered many team building, presentation skills and communication skills courses for a wide variety of companies throughout the UK and Europe.

“I spent several very enjoyable and admittedly bizarre years working for a murder mystery company running team-building events for businesses. I was struck how difficult a great many people found it to stand up in front of their colleagues and speak. They were very nervous, they didn‘t seem to know what to do with their hands or how to stand and they often spoke too quickly or quietly. I realised that I had been taught at drama school how to do all those things and that the skills I had learnt there and used in my acting career could be very useful to other people. It appeared that the techniques of communicating were a secret known only to a few people and that seemed rather unfair. I‘d been lucky enough to have some great training and now I love sharing the skills of being a great presenter with other people.”
