Confidence Coaching

Confidence Coaching with Louise Collins

Many people have a fear of public speaking, making presentations and giving media interviews.  In fact speaking in public comes up consistently in surveys as one of the commonest fears.   It’s right up there with fears of heights, spiders and flying.

If you have fears that are holding you back from speaking in public, we can help you to increase your confidence and release your true potential as a communicator with TV News London’s new Confidence Coaching sessions.

These individual sessions are run by Executive Voice and Communications Coach, Louise Collins, who works on breathing and visualisation exercises to reduce nerves and adrenalin and increase confidence.  Louise also uses NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming - as part of the training.   Each trainee is expected to work on exercises between coaching sessions so that their improvement will be steady and permanent.

Results from this training are remarkable as people who have always been very nervous about public speaking – either giving talks or media interviews – are able to speak in public with confidence for the first time in their lives.

"I coach people to find and communicate the best of themselves - even when the pressure is on!” Louise says.  “ It’s really rewarding, both for me and for the people I coach, to see the great progress they can make and how communicating effectively can make a huge difference to their confidence and in turn the whole of their lives."

Image Consultancy

Individual voice and image training courses

We also provide specific individual courses such as Voice Training and Professional Image Enhancement. Heres one of our image consultants below.

Angela Marshall - Corporate Image Consultancy 

"We live in competitive times where giving the right first impression
can make the difference between being taken seriously
– or not."

Recognising the link between ‘looking the part’ and achieving career success is an important first step to increasing your authority, commanding attention and being successful. Whether you get it right or wrong is immediately recognisable.

Getting it wrong can mean missed promotions, not making the right impression at meetings or failing to get your contribution recognised. At a corporate level, where increasingly brand is the only real differentiator, if client-facing staff project the wrong image your competitive advantage weakens and brand values diluted.

For an informal discussion of how we can help you or your employees
to increase personal impact please get in touch.
