You only have one chance to make a first impression
A typical first session with Sally is a two-way exploratory meeting to identify the client’s requirements, assess any weaknesses and plan a strategy to build on the client’s strengths. Sessions take place within the idyllic surroundings of Siddington Park in a friendly environment tailored to make the client immediately feel at ease or at a larger venue for groups.
When clients approach Sally as a speech coach, they may have several different reasons. Some are already articulate speakers but can appear wooden or uncomfortable behind the podium. Sally can advise how to adjust your body language to improve your overall presentation.
Sally can also help develop your interview skills so you achieve a higher level of success in communicating with your audience.
Tuition is available in person or remotely via Zoom, Whatsapp or Facetime.
