Sarah Denholm Speaking Coach

Public speaking and presentation skills training and coaching for speakers who want to become confident! I'm also a certified trainer, with my TAE40110 Cert.

I'm a public speaking and presentation skills coach and trainer. I run public and in-house workshops, coach individuals globally and in person, and speak to groups on these three fundamental speaking skills:

Building confidence
Engaging your audience
Influence
and persuasion

I use proven techniques from a wide range of research in:

the latest neuroscience on presentation and communication sk

ills
psychology
resilience
the performing arts
mindfulness practices

Through extensive research and successful client results, I've developed a clear framework and methodology to enable my clients to reach a whole new level of confidence, clarity and connectedness around their public speaking. My original training is in the performing arts as a Classical pianist. A successful career as a young musician, which included performing in the Purcell Room at Festival Hall London, was nearly ruined by performance fear which took hold in my mid twenties. My way back was through learning how to speak in public. (I still play the piano for fun!)

I have a Master's degree in Piano Performance. IV in Training and Assessment.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿!🎉

As we arrive in 2026, I’m grateful to everyone who's trusted me to be part of their communication skills upgrade. It's been a pleasure, and a privilege (I mean it!). ✨

Wishing you a year filled with meaningful progress on what matters to you, and plenty of space to rest as well! Whether we’ve worked together (yet) or not, may this year bring all the possibilities you hope for. 🌱

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 💬

As the year wraps up, I’ve been reflecting on conversations with clients and the wider challenges we’re all navigating. It reminded me that being heard isn’t about sounding impressive or getting every word right. What matters is the tone, focus, and direction we set with our words.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. We all do it, even when we’re simply leading ourselves. It starts with presence, connection to the message, and staying engaged with others, especially when it feels uncomfortable ✨

I hope you'll get time off to do whatever nourishes and supports you. And to celebrate what's mattered during this year.

It's a time to give ourselves credit and kindness, stop to acknowledge how we've navigated challenges, and focus on what we've achieved. 👏 👏 👏

Before worrying about slides or delivery, take a few minutes to think. Get clear on your main message, the key points, what your audience needs, and where they might push back. Even 5–10 minutes of focused thinking can make your words more memorable and effective.

A simple 2-second pause can shift you from reacting defensively to responding with clarity. It’s a small habit that makes high-pressure moments much easier to handle.

𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — the urge to justify, defend, or prove yourself.

✨ But there’s a more powerful option: shifting from reaction to intention.

When you choose steadiness over urgency, your ideas come through with far more impact. You think more clearly, express yourself more cleanly, and show others that pressure doesn’t shake your centre. Influence grows not from having all the answers, but from how you handle the moment.
