Public Speaking & Media Training
(Training can be individual or in small groups)
A great pitch is never just the words - it's how you say them. I work with NGOs, researchers, and mission-driven organisations to prepare for the pitches that matter most: philanthropists, tenders, grant panels, and investor meetings. Drawing on 30 years of storytelling craft and hands-on training experience, I help clients translate complex or technical work into a narrative that resonates with a non-expert audience, and deliver it with genuine presence.

Marketing and Communications
Every organisation has a message that needs to reach the right people, in the right way, at the right time. I help clients build clear, strategic communications that cut through, from high-level planning to the fine detail of a single briefing note.

Writing
Good writing does more than inform, it builds trust and moves people to act. I write clear, considered copy across formats, tailored to the audience and purpose of each piece.
