Train Your Team

Get Heard

I’m Jude, a Voice and Communication coach or what you might call a public speaking coach. I run face to face and online bespoke training sessions for businesses to improve speaking skills. Sessions are tailored and practical as we learn by doing.

I can help your team gain awareness of their speaking habits before adopting new techniques to engage with any audience. By looking at the mind, body and voice attendees learn to manage nerves, pitch or present with clarity and excel in difficult conversations.

Sessions can be delivered to work around you so get in touch to find out more & book: jude@speakingworks.co.uk or schedule a call on this link:

In-person: 1 day group coaching followed by a half-day smaller groups/1:1 practise sessions

Why Work With Me?

I work in three key ways as a trainer, coach and consultant:

1 | Bringing attention and awareness to current habits
2 | Teaching the mind, body, voice connection and how you can conquer anxiety
3 | Teaching new techniques to action in the moment when speaking

Delegates will feel happier, more confident and ready to face the masses (or colleagues and friends).

As a Voice Coach (MA Voice, LSDE, BA Hons) I have developed and honed my skills as a teacher and trainer. I worked in communication heavy roles where proficient speakers would freeze and stumble in meetings or pitches. In today’s world, good communication is an essential life skill. Make your team better communicators to sell, persuade, teach and inspire.
