‘The session was great; the best training session I have been to of this style. Bella’s tone, style, pace and format was absolutely spot on. She was really engaging and pitched the session at just the right level for those of us in the room. I found the techniques to be useful and creative - I was pushed out of my comfort zone but she did it well’

I strive to enhance the potential impact of your team members by demystifying the skills required to communicate concisely and naturally under pressure. I bring a host of tools and techniques to help get the best out of all attendees, regardless of the range of perceived levels of confidence and competence.
‘Bella was incredibly skilled at getting a team who are very serious in their approach, relaxed and happy to participate. Her feedback to everyone in the room was especially impressive and helpful, particularly the tone with which it was delivered. I could not be happier with the session.’

Preparation for an Event
Coaching for individuals or small teams preparing for important client meetings, presentations, speeches and interviews; specialised public speaking workshops with in-depth communication skills training. The format will depend on the needs of the participants, but may include;
Filming and play-back of the attendees with feedback on how they are coming across and suggestions to improve where necessary.
Content analysis from an objective external perspective.
Techniques for overcoming performance anxiety.
Practice with Q&A simulations.
Rehearsal in a non-judgemental environment where experimentation and missing your mark are encouraged.
‘Bella helped me curate my best man speech so that it flowed, and then supported me hugely with the delivery. I feel both ready and excited for it now, rather than the overwhelming nerves I had before. I’m so grateful.’

Virtual Communication Skills
Communication skills training focused on overcoming the barriers to human interaction created by the technology of online arenas. I will help you reach through the cameras and microphones to retain humanity and personal presence when a face-to-face meeting is not a possibility.
‘I found this workshop super helpful - particularly on breath which is something I often overlook. Bella is also very approachable, even remotely (which can be hard!), and made it much more interactive that I expected without having exercises that might put people on the spot… I definitely learned a lot and look forward to putting it into practice!’

Overcoming Performance Anxiety
Even the most seasoned performers experience a level of performance anxiety; it’s a natural human response to pressure. Public speaking workshops or 1:1 coaching sessions provide insight into what’s happening and why, and offer tools to help you overcome debilitating anxiety and harness the anxious energy to your advantage.
‘I have had the pleasure of being supported by Bella over the last few months and she has exceeded my expectations. She has supported me to become more confident with public speaking as well as provided me with practical strategies to enhance my style of presentation. She is knowledgeable, patient and makes you feel extremely comfortable!’

Presentation Structuring and Storytelling
Presentation skills classes with essential guidance for putting together a presentation that has clarity, and impact and focuses on the message being memorable and accessible to your audience. Through targeted performance coaching and comprehensive communication skills training, I help you bring what might feel like dull and factual content to life with storytelling techniques and a focus on bringing humanity and richness to the data.
‘Bella provided a 1-1 session to offer feedback and coaching on my presentation style. She helped me prepare for a presentation as part of an interview for a senior civil service position. She gave detailed and insightful observations about my personal impact and concrete practical suggestions on how to enhance my delivery; everything from how to warm up my voice, what to do with my hands and how to structure my presentation. She gave me confidence and I am pleased to say that following Bella’s support I was offered the role! Highly recommend.’

‘Hugely insightful session, packed full of practical tools and tips that tap into a natural ability I didn't know I had. I was able to apply what I learnt to my work immediately, both in-person and online, and while my presenting skills were ok before, this session has levelled them up in a noticeable way.’
