"Jane was wonderful. She quickly understood my needs and ran the two hour workshop to meet them perfectly. The Olympic Ambassadors were unanimous in their praise, and many said it was the best public speaking and presentation skills advice they had received. I would totally recommend Jane."

"My groom speech went very well. I stayed calm on the day, kept smiling and I came across clearly - even got a tear from my bride! Very pleased with the result. Our sessions helped massively.
I’m now regularly using the techniques and exercises…. (I learnt with you) …for my business presentations.
Thank-you again for everything."

Hi Jane,
I’ve had loads of great feedback from our team about your session (on Strategic Storytelling) – people really enjoyed it. You’ve got us thinking about our storytelling telling style and impact – it was wonderful to have you as part of the (training) day. I look forward to working with you again soon.

Hello Jane
Thank you very much for a really great training session today. I was frankly terrified when I saw the camera, plus having to do a talk in front of my peers. I just hate anything like this. But you made it non threatening and were very encouraging, so thank you for all the advice and tips.
Kind Regards
Sinda Hall

Strategic Story TellingOn strategic storytelling - ‘Tell to Win’ author and business guru Peter Guber describes purposeful storytelling as a ‘Trojan Horse’. An audience takes in a good story not realising they’ve received the teller’s hidden message. Sneaky? Maybe. But it works.

Plain EnglishFrom Mary S. Lovell’s book: ‘The Churchills’
‘An American general once drafted a speech and asked Churchill to go through it. Churchill gave it a dim report.
“What if, instead of ‘We shall fight them on the beaches’ I had said ‘Hostilities will be engaged with our adversary on the coastal perimeter?” ‘
