I help technical experts translate their ideas and research into presentations that land with non specialists
I'm an executive coach based in Belfast with more than 25 years of experience on professional stages across Europe and North America - first as a Big 4 tax expert, and latterly on leadership, coaching, and communication.
For the last 12 years I have also been coaching technical experts to speak with the same authority and clarity.
I work with what I call Geeks Who Speak: researchers, academics, and senior professionals who get judged for how they speak instead of heard for their game-changing ideas. That gap is exactly where I come in.
My role isn't to give you a formula or turn you into someone you're not. I create the conditions where you step into version 2.0 of who you already are - clearer in your messaging, more grounded in who you really are, and genuinely yourself on stage.
Wherever you're heading, I'll make sure you arrive as yourself.
You've built the talk. But something isn't quite right. You're not sure whether it's the structure, the message, the opening, or something else entirely. This session finds it. You send your deck or script in advance. I work through it before we meet, so we go straight to what will make the biggest difference. You leave with a clear diagnosis and the one or two specific changes that will actually move the needle. Bring a talk that matters to you. I'll tell you what it needs.
You know your subject. But when someone asks what your talk is actually about, you waffle, give three ideas, or say something that sounds smart but doesn't land. That's a messaging problem — and it's what this session fixes. 90 minutes. One core message, locked in. A structural outline to build from. A session recording and framework to take away.
