The Voice of my clients  

"Catherine was very professional; she inspired me, gave me direction, taught me techniques and  gave me a huge amount of confidence that was required for my role on Dragon’s Den.I would highly recommend her."
Touker Suleyman, BBC Dragon's Den and owner Hawes and Curtis and Ghost retail clothing:

​"Finding Cath and bringing her on board has been one of the best moves for WIL.  Her energy is contagious and delegates constantly praise her sessions "inspiring, engaging, some of the most valuable training received in their careers" are words used to describe her work.  Her sessions are constantly superb and receive nothing less than outstanding feedback.  I highly recommend her work. Claire Walmsey, DODS, Head of Events (Women into Leadership)

“The speech went really well.  The feedback was great and I actually enjoyed delivering it.  I can’t thank you enough for your help.  I will definitely be back in touch for the next one." - 
CEO Americas, SThree Recruitment 

"A great event and fantastic coaching session.  Great timing for the Civil Service Live conference.  Feedback from participants was excellent.  Thank you again."  Head of OCSD Central Support, DVLA - Jonathan Matthews.

"I was sceptical about the usefulness of the course until I took part in in.  Wow!  Really powerful tools and techniques powerfully delivered.  Weeks after the course, I still remember most of its elements and have used them in practice.  Few courses achieve such an impact.  Cath is a great tutor.  She is very ‘real’ and a brilliant role model of the approaches she teaches.  This really was one of the best short courses I’ve done in years – and I’ve done a lot! "- Russell Emeny, Director of Emergency Care, NHS Improvement.

"It’s different from anything else I have completed across my career. Alongside sharing all the tactics to enhance/make better use of your voice, Cath also shared great tips on actual presentation skills right down to phrasing certain points that capture the message but stated in a way to engage the audience.  The course has a perfect balance, coupled with times of absolute belly laughter!  I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much. I don’t remember the last time when I gained so greatly from a course. It’s absolutely worth the investment!  Cath, you have an amazing talent! Thank you for sharing.
Divisional Director, St James' Wealth Management

“Cath, your coaching has helped me to create impact in order to overcome what was a somewhat taciturn style, if I'm very honest! I had the confidence and tools to deliver some very unglamourous internal presentations in a hugely engaging manner which had a major impact on my team's impression of me”  
Scott Ellis, Portfolio Manager, Al Tayer Group. 

"I found the training incredibly valuable, it has changed my life.  It has given me the confidence to pursue my goals, and I no longer feel trapped under limited possibilities because of my voice.  I found Cath to be warm, funny, kind and very down to earth, and I think that she has the ability to work and connect and with people from all walks of life, which is extremely important in the delivery of a course like this."
Corrine - Personal Assistant, Head Office, Lord Sainsbury

“getting what you pay for” rings true here. Entering what I thought would be generic training I was immediately proved wrong; this course is the voice coaching equivalent of a Savile Row bespoke suit. We worked with material of my choice, the course was tailored to fit me and my requirements, and I walked away with a suite of skills.
Being able to wear my new suite of skills immediately ensured I delivered a key presentation far better than I would without the training. “Succinct:clear:punchy” were the words used to describe my presentation.

I am firmly of the opinion that this course should be compulsory for all speakers as a courtesy to the audience.”
Jago - Aribocultural Consultant

"Cath is an excellent teacher with experience in all aspects of voice coaching and business impact. The techniques and habits she has shown me are practical and very applicable to my daily work.  I’d thoroughly recommend Cath to anyone who wants to learn how make a stronger impact in a business environment."
Senior Manager, Ernst & Young LLP

"I’m so glad I found this training! It was extremely helpful and very interesting.  Over the years I had become increasingly nervous about speaking to people in day-to-day life as well as in work situations – even ordering a coffee in a café was becoming difficult for me.  From my very first session with Cath, I felt more confident in my communication with other people and could immediately put the techniques into practice.  My confidence improved further over the six sessions and Cath helped me with interview techniques and the specific situations I was encountering in my temporary job.  I eventually got the job I wanted and the interviewer even commented on how ‘laid back’ I seemed!  I found the sessions a lot of fun; Cath is a great teacher."
Joanna, Skype coaching client.

"I contacted Cath through her website, and we arranged to meet her over coffee to see what I was looking for in a voice coach, and how she could possibly help me achieve the desired results.
As we sat down for our coffee meeting I instinctively knew within minutes she was the right coach for me. Cath clearly knows voice, what influences it, how to get the most out of your voice, and how to teach it simply from her work training drama students.
Over the six sessions she has taken me from someone who was reluctant to project my voice to a confident resonant speaker with a choice of devices to get across my points including tone, pitch, and pace. These are now available at the tip of my tongue, and I can choose which is more appropriate to which context.
If you are lucky enough to be able to work with Cath, you can be sure that you have made a sound investment in your own self development that will pay for years to come. Be it in that all important interview, presentation, or meeting, or indeed in your personal life, improving your voice can help you with your confidence and in influencing others.

Take the next step and arrange to meet Cath, I promise you it will change your life as it did for me."
