“I discovered my voice — and booked my first speaking engagement.”
“For years, I mislabeled my fear as shyness, but through Lisa’s guidance, I discovered it stemmed from my voice not being validated as a child. With her support, I tackled these fears deeply, rebuilt my value system, and developed the confidence to speak freely.
After just four months, I booked my first speaking engagement — a milestone I’m incredibly proud of. Lisa’s patience and step-by-step approach were invaluable. The skills I’ve gained will carry forward into all areas of my life and leadership.”

I can’t tell you how invaluable coaching and mentoring was. I didn’t realise the value of my 30 years of experience in my career until I spent time with Lisa who outlined where my strengths are.

“I had the privilege of meeting Lisa at the London Connector networking event, and it was truly transformative.
From the moment I walked into the networking session, I was drawn to her aura of friendly confidence. It was evident that she possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in public speaking. I admire her passion for empowering women in the corporate world through public speaking. Lisa's expertise, built upon nearly two decades of experience, truly sets her apart.
Lisa gave a talk at an InterNations Org event, which I organised, and it was very informative and deeply impactful. The tools and techniques she shared to unblock our fears around public speaking were invaluable. I personally found the insights on turning fear into excitement, the importance of deep breathing, and the power of a genuine smile to connect with the audience to be game-changers.
Thank you for your dedication to helping women succeed in their careers through public speaking. Your motto, "Speak up and Speak proud," is an inspiring call to action, and it's evident that Lisa embodies these words. I'm excited to see the continued positive impact she'll have on the lives of many more women.”

The Transformation
Before Speak Proud:
Book a discovery call
You rehearse your intro 10 times before a meeting– and still stumble over your first sentence.
You’re the most prepared person in the room… but your voice shakes when it’s your turn to speak.
You pitch great ideas… only to hear someone else repeat them louder and get the credit.
You lead teams, manage big budgets, deliver results– but when you're asked to present to senior leadership, panic takes over.
You leave panels, interviews or high-stakes calls replaying every word, thinking: “Why didn’t I say that differently?!”
After Speak Proud:
You walk into a high-stakes meeting and lead with calm concise authority– no script, no spiralling.
You pitch your vision clearly and confidently, and watch heads nod in agreement.
You’re asked to speak at events, lead panels or share insights on stage– not because you chased visibility, but because you earned it.
You show up to job interviews, investor calls or boardroom briefings as your full grounded self… no over-explaining, no second-guessing.
You leave the room knowing your message landed and your voice finally reflects your value.
Your voice already holds power. Let’s unlock it.
Let’s chat
You don’t need to be louder. Or different. Or someone you’re not. You need a voice that reflects who you already are: capable, clear and completely in command.
