‘I have worked with Philippa on several occasions. She is a highly effective learning and development consultant, with great knowledge of social networking and self marketing skills for professional career development. She is an engaging and collaborative trainer and coach, and a skilled public speaker and voice artist, and I have no hesitation in recommending her work.’

“I was asked to run a workshop  at a very prestigious conference and felt that I needed some expert input to help improve my public speaking skills in front of  large groups.

During our 2 hours session Philippa gave me honest and constructive feedback on all aspects of my presentation and how I came across as speaker.

She also sent me some useful exercises and follow up work to do before the event so that I was able to  fully prepare.

I highly recommend Philippa to anyone who would like to speak confidently and well in public.”
