‘A voice not heard is a life not lived'
If you’d told me as a shy, blushing kid that I’d end up here, sharing my story and helping others find their voices, I would have probably turned red and hidden away.
Growing up, I was the classic people pleaser—quiet, agreeable, and doing whatever it took to stay out of the spotlight.
But, as I learned the hard way later on, silence only leads to frustration and resentment.
I spent years trying to fit in, but it wasn’t until I found the stage through theatre and dance that I discovered a flicker of confidence. Performing gave me a protective armour to show up, to be a different version of myself AND be in the spotlight.
That little taste of confidence led me to a career at Virgin Atlantic Airways, where I found myself in a role that required me to train and coach others. Despite my fears, I realised that I was good at it—especially when I focused on listening and connecting with people.

Listening became a superpower!
I climbed the ladder in leadership development and fell into the specialisms of communication and behaviour. But still, I was told I wasn’t visible enough and too hesitant to really put myself out there.
Everything changed when my marriage ended.
Suddenly, I had to face the reality that if I wanted a fulfilling life, I needed to unlearn my old habits. I had to find my voice, speak up for my needs, and set boundaries. It was tough, but through counselling, coaching, and a lot of inner work, I started to rebuild myself. I even challenged myself to share my story on the TEDx stage—a terrifying but exhilarating experience that reminded me of the power of our words.
Around this time, I also remembered something my dad used to say:
“You have a voice for the radio.”
In his honour, I decided to explore that path. I took a course in radio presenting and landed a co-hosting spot on Radio Reverb in Brighton. This experience was a full-circle moment for me, reminding me once again of the power of words. And it didn’t stop there—I also became a TEDx curator and speaker coach, helping others share their ideas worth spreading.
These experiences have reinforced my belief that communication is at the heart of everything.
So, here I am today, with a business built around this simple truth: words have power.
Whether it’s helping someone share their message, coaching them to speak up, or achieving ambitious business goals with win/win outcomes, I know that finding and using our voice is everything.
Too many people, just like I once was, struggle to speak up and be seen.
My mission is to help them find the courage to speak more honestly and authentically and make a lasting impression with every word.
Through all of this, I’ve learned a few key lessons that guide everything I do:
A voice not heard is a life not lived. The things we don’t say, the dreams we don’t share—they’re the very things that could change our lives if we just spoke them out loud.
Growth lies in discomfort. It’s better to face those awkward, uncomfortable moments with honesty and integrity than to keep pretending everything’s fine.
Direct words equal direct wins. Speaking with intention and clarity is how we get the results we want, whether it’s on a stage, in a meeting, or in a tough conversation with someone we care about.
These truths are the foundation of my work, from corporate training to personal coaching. They’re why I’m here, sharing my story with you, and they’re what drive me to help others do the same.
Thanks for stopping by and getting to know a bit about me. I’m here to help you find your voice and share your story with the world.
“Helen is supportive and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She helped me refine my personal core story to support me on my journey of keynote speaking.
Alongside this she willingly shared how to elevate my current coaching business to make myself more widely appealing in the corporate world.
No question I asked, or concern I had was an issue for Helen.
Recorded zoom sessions, and unlimited whatsapp access during our three months working together has been a huge game changer in how I run my business going forward.”

Executive Coach
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Helen over the last few months.
I had a lot of different avenues to explore and she zero’d in on exactly where my focus should be, and helped me to craft articles, speeches and posts in order to receive the maximum benefit for my different audiences. She’s a true master of the storytelling art, full of ideas, always professional and meticulous in making every minute count during our hourly sessions.
I’m very grateful to have found her, highly recommend her without reservation, and sincerely hope to engage her again once I’ve put her expert help to use at this early stage, to help me to master the next step of my coaching and speaking business.
