“Some time ago, I sought a recommendation for someone to assist me in developing my keynote talk. Although I possessed ample content, I lacked a cohesive structure. Upon connecting with Helen, I found her assistance to be invaluable. She swiftly helped me pinpoint my key messages, authority statements, and valuable insights within my extensive content. Helen adeptly guided me in integrating storytelling and seamlessly linking sections. Her wealth of experience truly shines through. Patient and meticulous, Helen ensures she comprehends your objectives. Each session was invigorating as I witnessed my content and talk evolve and coalesce. We began crafting a workshop from my keynote, a project I eagerly look forward to continuing. Helen embodies kindness, compassion, and genuine care for her clients. If you seek to create a impactful and engaging talk, I wholeheartedly recommend consulting with Helen. Thank you so much Helen.“

“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.“
Hi, I’m Helen
I’m a verbal communications strategist, podcaster and speaker coach, helping people increase their impact authority and reach through the power of their words.
I spent 15 years in the corporate world helping leaders deliver complex (and often quite dry!) messages in compelling ways to thousands of people.
Along the way I picked up a nifty little tool called storytelling and realised that literally ANYONE, no matter how inexperienced or unconfident, could use it to connect with an audience, build trust and make a big impact.
I’ve been on the journey too.
I spent a good few years hiding due to some life stuff. I lost my voice and vowed never to stand up and speak in front of people again.
After hitting a crunch point and committing to make a change, I gave a TEDx talk at the Brighton Dome, and have since gone on to help people land and deliver their own.
My journey has led to running speaker training programmes, live conferences, workshops, online courses and signature and keynote talks and becoming a TEDx event curator and speaker coach too.
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Helen. From the moment I met her, I felt as if I had know her for ages. She was kind and compassionate but most importantly she took my current talk and helped me to turn it into something that sparkled! Her knowledge about speaking and verbal communication within business is out of this world! She was a constant support to me during time we worked together and she always responded to all of my questions with the most brilliant answers and ideas.
If you have a desire to enter the speaking world or want to enhance the impact of your communication with others in a business context, OR you’re currently speaking but want to take it to the next level, you absolutely must work with Helen. You’ll not only leave each session with a smile on your face, but you’ll feel like it’s possible to achieve your dreams. Thank you Helen.”

“Helen came recommended by a close colleague of mine. Shortly after that I was asked to deliver two talks at a festival conference. Before the session with Helen I felt confused with how to create impact through my story and deliver the message I wanted people to take-away. After time with Helen I felt very clear on how to structure both talks with clarity and simplicity. Helen is really compassionate but also direct and clear (great at communication). I felt supported, understood and I left feeling empowered and with work to do! Helen taught me methods on delivery, all the way to structuring my slides, After watching me speak, she gave me cues on how I could improve. I took all of her tips onboard and I felt at ease and confident on both stages. I have been booked for another event this year and I’m excited to continue my work with Helen as she’s the expert in this field. She really knows how to bring the best out in you and so your audience gets to experience that too. Thank you Helen.”

Frequently asked questions
Who is the Stand Out and Speak Experience for?
I designed Stand Out and Speak specifically for business owners, coaches and entrepreneurs who have the foundations of their business in place and are looking to take their expertise and c communication to the next level by developing their core story, creating an expert method and developing their own signature talk. I can also support corporate leaders who are looking to develop their verbal communication skills or deliver a talk or presentation and academics who need to present their findings or research to an audience.
Do I have to be experienced as a speaker?
Not at all. I can start from the very beginning by helping you look at speaking as part of your business strategy, how you use your story and messages to communicate to your audience and how you can use speaking and storytelling to win more business. We will draw it all out of your head and put it into a structure that you can confidently share and deliver with impact.
I am already experienced as a speaker, how can you help me?
If you are looking to take your speaking skills to the next level, diversify your talk offering or branch out into corporate speaking or keynote delivery, I can help. The techniques and tools I use are gleaned from my years in corporate training delivery, my expertise in storytelling and my experience of delivering keynotes and a TEDx talk, and working with some awesome speaker mentors myself.
I need help sharing my story in my content marketing, can you help?
Yes. The core story work we do will enable you to use your story in your social media posts, blogs, videos, webinars or with the press. In podcast or radio interviews, anywhere that helps you get super visible and recognised as an expert in your field.
I want to know how I can land speaking gigs, does the intensive cover this?
Part of our work together will be to form a strategy and action plan identifying where you want to speak, what the end goals are and how to do it the right way so you stand out and land the gigs.
How does the process work?
After an initial assessment using the AIR speaker system, we have a clarity call to agree on the key outcomes you want to achieve by the end of our time together. We then meet in person (if in Sussex) or online for our sessions and dive into the process.
During our time together your receive coach in your pocket WhatsApp and email support for a period of 1 month (mini) and three months (signature).
How is it delivered?
At the time of writing, I am able to offer in person in Brighton at Soho House or an agreed location in the Sussex area. If online, the mini can be split over 2 or 3 sessions and the signature can be split over 4-6 sessions. Coach in your pocket support is given over WhatsApp voice note, email, and Zoom if required.
What makes you qualified to offer this service?
I have spent 20 years coaching and training leaders on how to communicate more effectively and make an impact with their words. My go to skills were in conflict resolution, influence, negotiation, presentations, events, and internal comms. I picked up the powerful tool of storytelling in this time and found it could be used by anyone regardless of confidence level or personality type to communicate with impact.
After leaving the corporate world I delivered a TEDx talk and went on to run speaker programmes and workshops. I have delivered key note talks, run my own events, am a radio presenter, podcaster and was a TEDx curator and speaker coach. I have also been lucky enough to be mentored by some amazing international speakers.
What does the coach in your pocket support look like?
Depending on your needs, it is designed to put your plan into action. Whether that be putting your talk together and sending me videos for feedback. Helping you structure and reviewing your pitches, providing advice on how to share your story in your content or online marketing, and providing support and guidance if you are feeling stuck or worried about getting yourself out into the world.
I am a coach in your pocket through the support period to help keep you accountable and moving so that you achieve your dream goals.

More praise for Helen
“I worked with Helen to help me formulate my story. I had struggled for some time with what I wanted to say and how I would say it. I honestly didn’t think I had anything interesting to say or that anyone would want to listen. After just a few hours with Helen we had formulated my core story and decided on a list of further topics I could talk about. Either on stage or on my social media.
Helen is so warm and friendly so it was easy for me to share my life story with her. But what was impressive was how she distilled the relevant facts from my story in a sensitive and thoughtful way. She also helped identify the various platforms I could use to share my story and who I should be connecting with. I have since shared my story on Facebook lives, in my newsletters and on my website. I have had such a wonderful response from people and really feel as though I’m connecting with my audience on a much deeper level.
If you are looking for a way to share your core story a way that feels natural and genuine, you have to work with Helen.”
Max Gooding & Kate Wood
Noodle Co-Founders
“Helen has been a fantastic coach for us through the launch and beyond of our new business, Noodle.
She was crucial for helping us find and convey our story in a way that works for any audience and has given us so much practical advice too for our social media presence and podcast series.
She’s such a champion and gives us honest, usable insight as to where we should focus our time, money and energy.
She makes even the difficult parts of being an entrepreneur feel genuinely worth it – she’s been there, done it and knows what she’s on about.”
Michelle Roberton
Sexual Trauma and Intimacy Alchemist
“Helen supported me in creating a pathway of my core story in a way that was respectful to those I cherish aligned with my truth and of service to those I desire to support, while condensing it down and without minimising its strong message.
She made what for years, had seemed too ‘much’ take shape easier for me to believe ‘yes, I can share this’, ‘yes it is so time!’ Helen is the fairy godmother of making our passions to share our voices possible.”
“Helen is adept at drawing the story out of ideas and then helping to craft that story, making it flow in a gentle and encouraging manner so that I didn’t feel criticised.
Her energy coupled with her warm and supportive style makes the whole experience comfortable, at the same time I feel encouraged to take the next steps in making my talks more interesting.
Thank you Helen”
