What Our Executive Clients Say
Why Our 1-1 Coaching is Proven to Work
Our proven formula continues to yield sustained and transformative results because it is centered on creating long-term sustainable change through positive speaking habits.
If you take the example of getting fit, this is achieved by first learning about what lifestyle changes you require, building in exercise, nutrition, sleep, and movement routines. A good personal trainer will help assist you on your fitness journey and make it part of your daily routine and in the long term your lifestyle.
However, the keyword to take note of is routine. This consistent change will only come through habit creation, which is exactly what your 1-1 speaker coaching ensures.
Through our 1-1 coaching you build mindset and speaking delivery competencies which enable you to repeatedly experience positive presenting. Done consistently clients reach a transformation/tipping point which is reached when new positive speaking habits are consistently getting positive presenting results.
This feedback will then reinforce a new level of Presenting Impact, presenting mindset, skillset, confidence, and competence.

Sawgrass International – Board Members Case Study
Coaching a New Board Member at a Multinational Tech Company in Leadership Communication.
The Problem
Julian had worked in the software tech department and had been promoted to a senior level.
At the Senior level, Julian was required to present regular board updates to internal and external meetings.
Part of the role involved explaining highly technical projects developed in India to colleagues in Europe and the USA.
Julian had limited previous presenting confidence and experience in this role, leading to significant anxiety and dread ahead of weekly and monthly management meetings.
Coaching Needs
Julian was highly effective in his job role both as a technical expert and manager. However, we assisted in pinpointing that upward communication with seniors, peers, and clients was a major barrier.
To remove this block Julian needed to learn numerous speaking mindset tools that enabled a shift including how to present on the spot. Through his new tools, he fused both his speaking mindset and delivery to create new ways to think with ease when under pressure and present in a way that would help him feel at ease.
Results
Over a 6 month period, Julian undertook 1-1 executive coaching.
We helped develop communication and confidence habits he could practice daily with ease.
It also meant finding easy ways to communicate complex issues especially when presenting to difficult audiences at board level.
Julian was able to find greater connection with his peers in consequent board meetings leading to improved results, and interventions, and eventually reported marked improvements in project outcomes and sales.
The coaching, feedback, learnings, and practices led to much improved personal confidence that impacted his personal and leadership confidence.
CEO Coaching Case Study
Coaching 2 CEOs from CITYONE a Leading London Property Company in Leadership Communication.
The Problem
Christina and Julia had developed a thriving Property development company despite not having the deliver many presentations. However, the growth of the company meant being able to get venture capital and investors through pitching at networking events. Neither Julia (CEO) nor her business partner Christina had previous experience in this space.
Coaching Needs
During the initial conversation, we drilled down to the main result Julia needed which was to get across the value to prospective investors that would remove the risk for them and ensure for Julia and her team that they had a a pipeline of clients.
The three main blocks were a compelling structure that could simplify their opportunity. For Julia and her team to feel confident on stage and for them all to really own the space in terms of delivery.
In a way that would allow them to deliver workshops with great ease. Most importantly generate revenue from this activity.
Results
Over a 6 month period, Julia and her team worked with our Director team to build communication competence, marketing and sales presentation content, and structure
We worked with Director teams and staff teams and showed them step by step how they could do it.
This meant using Speaking Mindset methods to help overcome presenting fear whilst building easy-to-receive structures for seminars that would allow all staff to feel at ease.
The coaching, feedback, learnings, and feedback meant that a lot of time was saved in the normal preparation for such presentations.
The improved delivery methods meant the talks started to get more results, and sign-ups eventually translated to higher levels of revenue for Julia and the company.
By learning new skills not only were their improvements in the client acquisition rates the greatest level of confidence improvement impacted the performance of other staff who were inspired by the strides made by Julia as the CEO- creating a culture of growth and results.

How Effective is One-to-One Coaching / Training?
Undertaking one-to-one coaching sessions with a master coach is akin to possibly 12-18 months of group coaching. Therefore it is a highly effective and intensive form of high-end learning for those very serious about getting presenting results fast.
Why is it so Effective Compared to a Group Course?
Public Speaking One-to-One Coaching is primarily built for those needing to build unique high-impact speaking competence in the shortest possible time frame. Our proven signature methods and transformational principles ensure clients make significant shifts.
Your coach will alter your Presenting Impact through practical tools with opportunities for immediate practice, application, demonstration, and habit creation.

Is One-to-one Coaching Appropriate for New Leaders?
Yes highly appropriate as it will help you thrive as a new leader and is possibly our most popular client profile. Presenting/Speaking Fear/ Speaking Impact Skills are highly desirable skills amongst business leaders. It is a sought-after and identity-based leadership skill.
Why do New Leaders struggle with Presenting?
A new role often requires individuals to make a greater impact, to present more often, and do so with skill. However, for most there are extremely limited opportunities to practice but expect leaders to develop such skills unguided (Effectively jump in at the deep end!)
This in fact is proven to compound the problem further, making people take a fear of presenting identity. An identity is borne out of a negative stage experience and therefore experience a negative cycle often experiencing self-doubt before starting a new job role.

The Coaching is delivered by Professional Speakers who understand the stage well. We use a balance of explanation, demonstration, exercises, practice, and specific feedback.
Our signature delivery model uses some unique methods which include unconscious learning development and visualisation.
Essential skills are broken down into small components and the sub-skills can be developed faster in an easy step-by-step approach -creating significant shifts in small amounts of time.
How long does a coaching session last?
Most clients will start with a starter package of 2 x 45min sessions and typically upgrade to a recommended program that can be 6 to 18 months in duration depending on your specific performance, learning approach, and aims. Our high-impact speaker coaching takes effect immediately, but also, and importantly over time. As you upskill you build new habits that in turn shape your new speaking identity, so whilst your initial sessions will have a significant impact on your ability, it is ultimately a new journey that will reshape other elements of your life.
Where does the coaching take place?
The 45-minute coaching slots are designed to fit in with the time needs of busy executives. The majority of our 1-1 exec programs take place virtually on Teams or Zoom and in the week Mon- Fri between 9-5 pm.
If your requirement is urgent or requires significant input, we may place you on our world-class in-person accelerator program. However please be aware that completing a 6 month programme in a number of days requires significant input from you and us!
How many coaching sessions will I need, to become a good public speaker?
Every client is different and will therefore have a different start and finish line. Our duty remains to help you navigate your speaking journey in the most effortless and enjoyable way whilst having a laser focus on the result you need.
Our rapid transformation method is recognised by many leading figures across the industry and has been featured on numerous corporate conference stages. Creating significant changes within just 45 minutes alone.
However, achieving long-term sustained success takes the creation of a new speaking identity and new speaking habits. Every 1-1 session will offer a precision focus through micro steps that leave you with new insights, feedback, and skills every time.
Ultimately your end speaking goals and starting level will determine the level of input you require to establish a new high-impact public speaking habit and sustained change.
How Long Will We Work Together?
Coaching programs are typically fortnightly and take place over a minimum of 1-6 months but can continue over a long-term basis from 1- 5 years.
However, your Coach will recommend the most appropriate option depending on your requirements and budget.
What are the Fees for the 1-1 Public Speaking Coaching?
Fee structures will vary depending on location and the coach you choose to work with. Our comprehensive Executive Coaching programmes are tailor-built to suit your exact needs and range from £5k – £30k+VAT depending on your requirements.
Is there a one-off session Available?
We do not offer this option as significantly shifting speaking skills, identity, speaking habits, and competence in one session is highly impractical and constitutes a false promise.
Depending on our diary capacity your Coach may offer a chemistry session (to ascertain if you are a good fit for us and vice-versa.) The fee for this is £995+VAT.
