Find and express your distinctive story​ and voice

 
 

Content and stories need people to tell them – and it’s vital your leaders and subject matter experts embrace this role. They have the power to give life to your content and to use it to energise whatever conversation they’re part of. And by becoming an authority on important issues in the market, they pull buyers into your business – while building their personal brand.

I work one-to-one with leaders and subject matter experts to help them develop their own personal content strategy, drawing on coaching methodologies and my content, brand and marketing experience. I advise on how they can best stand out and become a “beacon” for your services, in different formats and channels.

I help your people find their unique voice and distinctive point of view, essential to building personal brand. Through storytelling techniques, I help them prepare for presentations and other communications, using materials in a way that enhances their story. And I help them find a style that’s authentically theirs, so they’re confident and relaxed in their delivery.

Communication and presentation skills coaching

Powerful communication is essential in all areas of business, particularly spoken communication in meetings and presentations, in person and online. I can help you:

  • Clarify the needs of your audience and how you can meet them in the most impactful way

  • Identify – and build on – your natural communications style

  • Move from dull Powerpoint walkthroughs to engaging storytelling that gets the message across – and bolsters your reputation

 

Leadership coaching

Your technical skills are well-honed and you want to develop yourself as a leader. I can help you:

  • Understand your strengths and beliefs, set your personal leadership goals and find a leadership style that’s right for you

  • Identify which leadership skills you need to focus on and help you develop them, whether directly or through selecting learning and resources

  • Support you as you prepare yourself for leadership in the future and while transitioning into a leadership role

Personal brand coaching

Having a distinctive, consistent personal brand – both in-person and online – is essential to career success. I can help you:

  • Identify your purpose and define your personal brand values

  • Develop a personal content strategy that’s aligned to your brand, skills and knowledge and helps your business shape the dialogue in the market

  • Identify digital and analogue channels where you can engage your target audience – and in a way that’s distinctively you

 

Transitions coaching

You’ve landed a new job – but how do you make a positive impact and quickly? I can help you:

  • Complete your current role in a positive way, including identifying and letting go of any limiting experiences from the past

  • Prepare for your new role by building a plan for the first 100 days, as well as a mental picture of what success looks and feels like

  • Settle in and be successful during the early stages of your role, including identifying:

    • The new culture you’re in and how to operate effectively within it

    • The needs of your role and how best to achieve success

Some examples of my coaching work:
