Coaching services
These are some of the common coaching formats we provide. If you have a specific challenge which needs something different, we're always ready to discuss your needs and develop the right support.
Narrative
Effective narrative sits at the heart of our coaching - crafting stories that are persuasive, engaging and memorable.
Strong narrative starts with your audience. It grabs their attention, and finds the common ground between their concerns and your strategy. It makes your story relevant, and brings it to life with memorable and engaging proof points. We use tried-and-tested tools to build a narrative quickly.
It’s often the perfect place to start building a leader’s communications.
Media training
From prime time broadcast to print briefings and podcasts, we help you to navigate the transactional nature of media interviews, managing the risks while delivering maximum value.
As well as tactics and techniques we bring a rigorous approach to building messaging that will resonate with audiences, and help deliver on your wider strategy.
We plan carefully to make the most of a leader’s time, with realistic practice supported by professional camera operators.
Presentation and public speaking
Whether a speaker blossoms on stage or needs more support, their strongest performances will be built on clear objectives, engaging material and sound technique.
Formats are evolving. Panel sessions and online meetings are becoming the norm. Whatever the challenge, we help leaders to prepare quickly, building their story on a solid foundation, with concise and engaging content.
Then we focus on delivery – stagecraft, vocal skills, body language, audience interaction and best use of slides and other visuals.
Leadership persona
How do you need to show up as a leader, in order to achieve your objectives?
Perceptions of a leader can have a huge impact, internally and externally. But while organisations rightly take great care of their brands, many leaders leave their own brand to chance.
Leadership Persona coaching offers a structured discussion about objectives, audiences and leadership style. It helps leaders to clarify the way that they need to be seen and to plan accordingly, identifying the behaviours and language – both verbal and visual – which will best bring their persona to life.
Speech writing
Leaders often lack the time to craft their speaking material in detail.
We work regularly with CEOs and spokespeople to turn their ideas and expertise into high-quality and well-structured content, shaped to specific audiences and events.
From major global conferences to internal town halls, we work closely with you to craft speeches and supporting visuals that can cut through, change minds, build understanding and deliver lasting reputational value.
Crisis communications
For any organisation facing a crisis, with all the uncertainty and turmoil that it entails, external communications can easily fall down the list of priorities.
Speaking publicly in the early stages of a crisis demands very specific skills, to send the right signals even when clear information is scarce.
Having a small bench of senior leaders well prepared in advance gives you valuable options, allowing you to start communicating early, for maximum impact. Using simple tools and realistic scenarios, we equip leaders to protect reputation even under the most intense pressure.
Stakeholder engagement
Addressing investors, engaging with NGOs or local communities, appearing before a Select Committee – these are among the most critical conversations many leaders face.
Effective planning is essential. Asking the right questions can be as valuable as giving good answers.
We help leaders prepare and rehearse, analysing the dynamic of the meeting, understanding the stakeholder’s pressures and agenda, identifying realistic goals and planning your best approach and content.
Writing workshops
More and more businesses are focusing on the value of good writing – words that work because they’re clear, concise and written with the reader firmly in mind.
Whether you’re writing for colleagues, consumers or other audiences, we help to build good writing habits and banish common mistakes, using practical exercises to deliver rapid and lasting change.
We teach graduate intakes to develop good habits, and work with existing teams who need to build skills and agree on best practice.
