PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR BUSINESS

Improve your teams presentation skills. Choose a package for individuals or group training.

 

 

I’ve had some 1:1 coaching from Kate to help me present better and also attended a couple of workshops she’s run. She’s an excellent coach and trainer, and I believe I’ve learned a fair amount in a short time, and I’d recommend her both to someone who just wants to learn about good practice communicating over video, and if you are presenting at conferences.

Elevating Communication for Leaders, Teams, and Organisations

In today’s fast-paced, high-stakes business environment, the ability to communicate with clarity, confidence, and influence is not a “nice-to-have” — it’s a competitive advantage. I work with leaders, teams, and organisations to transform how they speak, present, and connect, whether in the boardroom, on stage, in front of the camera, or in everyday conversations.

Drawing on a unique blend of performance expertise, voice training, and practical business communication skills, my programmes are designed to deliver measurable results: stronger presence, sharper messaging, and the confidence to engage any audience. From high-impact pitches to powerful storytelling, every session is tailored to meet the specific goals of your people and your organisation.

We offer workshops in Public Speaking and performance for corporate and private groups.  you can book either 121 packages for individuals to enhance their public speaking skills or you can book a workshop for your whole team.

TESTIMONIALS

 

Kate is one in a million – we have used her on many occasions to provide bespoke training sessions in personal communication techniques, networking skills and confidence-building. Her sessions are always of the highest professional quality, yet delivered with a down to earth approach. At the same time, she has the rare gift of making everybody feel as though she is their friend, and engages with participants on a very personal level – and most importantly, she makes a difference in people.

Amazing session on presentation preparation with Kate yesterday. The session was well structured and tailored to each of the participants’ areas of development/requirements. Kate also used practical examples throughout the sessions. I left the session with valuable techniques and I can’t wait to nail my next presentation. Thank you, Kate!
