What you get
Emerging and experienced leaders will explore how they present themselves, how they are received by others, and how to change their performance to better inspire and engage others.
This unique coaching programme uses actor / improvisor training tools and interactive learning. New skills are developed through a series of hands‐on activities where leaders learn on their feet.
With me, you will develop these skill sets:
- Performance: bring intention to your everyday performances
- Presence: gain awareness of your physical and vocal choices
- Storytelling: learn to create and co‐create stories that matter
- Active listening: the how of making others feel heard
- Focus: be fully present
- Adaptability: to uncertainty, change or disruption
- Rejection resilience: embrace and learn from failure
- Emotional Intelligence: build your social and emotional agility
- Collaboration: lean into authentic and effective co‐creation
Why me?
Employing my extensive understanding of actor training as a transformative method for learning and growth, I have been facilitating the professional and personal development of people for over twenty years.
Trained as an actor, improvisor and director, I moved my work out of the theatre and into the real world as the founder of award winning Voice Arts, an organisation supporting human development through performance.
As a performance coach and facilitator I have worked with ‘big four’ tax and legal Partners, government departments, NGOs, university leaders and college teachers, as well as a number of private professional clients.
I am an Associate of the New York based East Side Institute and a corporate coach for New York based Performance of a Lifetime.
