I’m a Communication Skills Trainer and an ICF Credentialed Coach (PCC).
I work largely with two types of business:
- Associations, Societies, Federations and other membership organisations and
- Marketing, design and creative consultancies.
I work with individuals, teams, employees and volunteers on their skills and approach in four areas:
- Presentations: typically smaller audiences
- Conference Speaking: typically larger audiences
- Conference Chairing and Facilitating
- Meetings Chairing
Depending on the situation, this can involve training or coaching or a combination of the two:
- Training: small group workshops to grow skills, performance and confidence.
- Coaching: one to one or team work to unlock and resolve what specifically might be blocking access to skills, performance and confidence.
My background: I’ve been a Trainer and Coach for 10 years. It’s the third phase of my career. Prior to this I worked for 7 years with leaders of design and branding agencies as Membership Director of the Design Business Association. And before that, I had a 15 year career in business to business publishing. I started out selling ad space over the phone, rising to Publisher.
I’m a trained coach, with a PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credential from the ICF (International Coaching Federation). I trained with Coaching Development, and passed their Coaching Diploma in 2021 as part of achieving my credential. I work to the ICF’s set of coaching competencies and code of ethics and conduct.
I am a partner Trainer and Coach for the Association of Association Executives
