I’m an introvert. I studied graphic design, got a job as a video game level designer, fell in love with performing stand-up comedy, became a full-time stand-up, didn’t become a star and so gave it up, went back to games and started a family.

While working at a games company I saw a really bad presentation and realised that all the writing and performance skills I’d learnt as a stand-up needed to be put to good use. I decided that things needed to change and that it was down to me. If an introverted ex-level designer like me can do it, then I think anyone can transform into a confident communicator.’

In 2013 I set up my own coaching business, working with individuals and small groups in Cambridge and London. After much hard work I have flourished, having found my place in the world. Clever me, eh?

I easily connect with introverts as I am one, but that doesn’t mean I can’t support an extroverted person, especially if they want to become the best communicator they can be. I really enjoy immediately getting people past their perception of their skill level and then building on that foundation to become confident communicators.

Too many people have suffered watching boring speakers delivering dreadful material. I’m on a mission to change that. No matter what sector you are in, I bet you’ve sat through some pretty tedious training. It doesn’t have to be like that; I make training sessions fun, interactive and meaningful.
