Great speakers have the power to persuade, motivate, and inspire their audience…
but I’m sure you already knew that. If you have found yourself on this website it’s because you are seeking a little guidance or support when it comes to public speaking. Let me help you refine your communication skills, increase your confidence, or overcome nervousness and anxiety.
Through one-on-one coaching, I will guide you through my program. I will teach you effective techniques and exercises to engage your audience and minimise nerves, and I will offer you personalised feedback to improve your delivery. The beauty of one-on-one training means it’s all about you and your desired outcome. You don’t have to worry about the presence of other group members. You will receive on the spot feedback and obtain a faster result.
Through ongoing guidance and mentorship, we can continuously improve your communication skills.
We don't always have an accurate view of our own potential. I think most people who are frightened of public speaking and can't imagine they might feel different as a result of training. Don't assume you know how much potential you have. Sometimes the only way to know what you can do is to test yourself

Testimonials
Before working with Olivia, I had confidence but lacked the ability to express myself with clarity and passion in front of a camera or large crowds. Her coaching style is truly one of a kind – she's relatable, dependable, and always goes the extra mile to ensure you're at your best. Even though years have passed since our coaching sessions, I still carry with me Olivia's invaluable training techniques and guidance whenever I find myself in front of an audience or camera.

I booked an hour with Olivia every fortnight for 2 months leading up to a major presentation. She filmed my delivery and offered feedback that completely changed the way I presented. Not only did she help to enhance my confidence, she taught me how to present authentically, how to control the room, and how to speak with passion.
I highly recommend Olivia.

I came to Olivia with an enormous fear of public speaking. As part of my job I was required to present to an audience of 5000 people. She created a supportive environment where I could step out of my comfort zone and try new techniques. One of the things I appreciate most about Olivia's coaching is her personalised approach. She takes the time to understand your unique strengths and challenges, and tailors her coaching to fit your needs.
Since working with Olivia, I've noticed a significant improvement in my confidence and effectiveness as a speaker. I feel more prepared and polished, and I've received positive feedback from colleagues and audiences alike.

Olivia was incredible to work with and be instructed by. Her vast knowledge was made relatable and engaging and the obvious enjoyment of her craft transformed each training session substantially.
Through her guidance not only was my confidence nurtured but I was also enabled with tools of inflection, tone, and physicality to enlarge my capacity as an engaging speaker and performer. Thank you Olivia for taking the barest of bones and giving them life abundantly.
