Let us tell you a story…
We once worked with a big global corporate company and the CEO would get into the lift with an employee and say “What’s the point of you?” Very challenging for the most confident person. Could you do it? What would you say?
Imagine feeling ready to answer that question with clarity, confidence and courage. We are going to take you on that journey and by the end of Week 4 you be will able to hold your own with the best of them.
It’s not just about presentations or public speaking..it’s about how you communicate internally and externally, how you are perceived by clients and colleagues.
"The coaching was great. I worked with Christie, and I cannot recommend her more. I am
glad I got a female coach, as she gave me just the right advice, and a lot of confidence for
the presentation."
“Katherine is amazing at creating fun and enjoyable ways to help our people develop their
presentation skills.”

What is in it for me?
Ask yourself these questions:
Do you find it hard to sell yourself?
Are you feeling overlooked? Undervalued?
Are you great at your job but not so great at telling people that?
Are you struggling with the pressure?
Do you feel intimidated in male dominated environments?
Do you work in an organisation with little diversity and inclusion?
Are you an introvert? Are you shy?
Do you know you need some help but find online learning a challenge?
If the answer to even one of these questions is yes – you need this workshop.
How it works
- Week One - Clarity
Often when we feel challenged we focus on what to say, not how to say it. In the first module we will explore what stops you being clear. We will offer some ideas on storytelling – how to structure your message and make it compelling and original. We will teach you how to slow down and speak at an appropriate pace.
Result:
- Learn how to talk about yourself and your work
- Get your message across clearly
- Feel ready to sell yourself
- Week two - Confidence
This session is specifically designed to look how and why we get nervous and what to do about it. We explore the importance of body language, vocal and emotional energy. We will teach you practical exercises on voice, physicality and breath. We will also explore mindset and think about ways to reframe the negative thinking that can hold you back.
Result:
- Feel ready to face any challenging conversation
- Learn how to take the attention off yourself and put it on your audience
- Week three - Courage
Now we have learnt some tips and strategies to manage your nerves, we get to the crux of the matter – how to be assertive. We will share some theory around influencing skills and share some practical exercises to bring that theory to life.
Result:
- Understand the difference between assertion and aggression
- Be prepared to face the situations you avoid
What is stopping you?
“I haven’t got time”
“What if I’m put on the spot?”
“Everyone else will be better/more senior/less senior/older/younger than me”
We promise you we will create a safe space to explore your workplace challenges and
learn in a supportive environment at your own pace.
Limited spaces – As we offer individual coaching and feedback there are only 20 spaces available……so what are you waiting for?
“I wanted to thank you for all your support getting me in shape; your coaching around
impact, messaging and making it personal were invaluable. I also wanted to thank you for
the wider impact that you've had and helped me think through a number of matters and
challenges”
“Thank you so much Katherine for such a great session today, I learnt so much from it and
already feel better about the next board meeting...never thought that would happen! I
know I have lots to work on and have written plenty of notes from today.”
