rkshop presenter and a Toastmasters International evaluation competition winner in both Singapore and Auckland. Now I love sharing my years of experience, of failures and successes to help others on their journey. My strength is in assessing your speech or presentation with commendations and recommendations. You can take a few areas and work on them or build a presentation with Powerpoint and enhance it with body language and vocal variety. Of course I can help with reducing your pre speech nerves and supporting your journey to having your voice be heard and your audience wanting more. I support my clients with one on one coaching, women only group workshops, and in house training in work places. I love being an MC at events to help them run smoothly and shine the spotlight on other speakers.
