HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE FIND THEIR VOICE
Whether it’s an important school interview, a college application, a class presentation or a milestone speech, knowing how to tell your story with confidence is a skill that can last a lifetime.
MY ONE-HOUR, ONE-TO-ONE YOUTH COACHING SESSIONS ARE DESIGNED TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE A SUPPORTIVE SPACE TO FIND THEIR VOICE, ORGANISE THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEEL CONFIDENT EXPRESSING WHO THEY ARE.
HOW I CAN
HELP
Sessions can be tailored to help with:
-
Practising potential questions, learning how to talk naturally about achievements and interests, and building the confidence to walk into an interview feeling prepared.
-
Helping students uncover the experiences and stories that make them unique, structure their ideas and communicate them authentically in personal essays and applications.
-
From classroom presentations and school speeches to Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Confirmations and other important occasions, we'll work together to create a speech that sounds like ‘them’ and practise delivering it with confidence.
-
Whether it’s putting a hand up in class, reading aloud, giving a presentation or simply feeling more comfortable speaking in front of others, we’ll work on practical techniques to help them communicate clearly, manage nerves and feel more confident being heard.

Louise’s course profoundly improved both my public speaking and general communication skills! Her guidance was practical, encouraging, and tailored in a way that helped me progress quickly. I finished the course with tools I could immediately put into practice and with a much stronger sense of confidence and presence. I strongly recommend her course to anyone who wants to quickly and meaningfully improve their presentation/communication skills.

Louise has a brilliant way of simplifying the art of public speaking. As someone who presents nationally, I find her guidance truly helps you find your voice and deliver your message with confidence and ease!

Louise is a real pro. I’ve worked with her on several jobs last year. She’s always prepared, professional and brings a little something something extra to the party.

I had to do a pitch for Shark Tank and Louise came in to give us some last minute tips on body language, how to calm nerves and make our pitch more engaging. I can’t recommend her enough.

FREE MEDITATION
to calm nerves before a presentation
Louise is a qualified reiki master, trained in transendental meditation and practices Vipassana meditation. With this knowledge and her skills in public speaking Louise created a few meditations to help calm nerves before a presentation.
Using breathwork, visualisation, affirmations and gratitude, this meditation is designed to help calm your nerves before a presentation or speech. This can be done in advance, leading up to the event and even right before - though I do have a 3 min meditation designed for side stage.
If you can, find somewhere quiet to sit and close your eyes.
These meditations are on the insight timer website. If you can’t access it please let me know and I will send it to you directly. Please do leave a comment or feedback on the site.
