Train Your Team

Hello.

I’m Jude, a Voice and Communication coach. I run face to face and online bespoke training sessions for businesses to improve speaking skills. Sessions are tailored and practical as we learn by doing.

I can help your team gain awareness of their speaking habits before adopting new techniques to engage with any audience. By looking at the mind, body and voice attendees learn to manage nerves, pitch or present with clarity and excel in difficult conversations.

Sessions can be delivered to work around you so get in touch to find out more & book: jude@speakingworks.co.uk or schedule a call here:

Frequent bookings:
In-person: 1 day group coaching followed by a half-day smaller groups/1:1 practise sessions

Online: 30-minute, 1, 2 or 3-hour workshops

“The survey we ran at the end has told me that 100% of attendees gave this session 4* or above (out of 5)- which is a fantastic result. Even more impressively perhaps was that 100% of attendees also felt they’d learnt some actionable tips on how they can speak up in meetings (which is our measure of learning success). So, overall, a truly brilliant result.”

I create bespoke training based on your needs.

Why Work With Me?

Rooted in real expertise, designed for real results.

I am a coach, a trainer, a consultant and a speaker. All my work is grounded in my MA in Voice Studies and draws on the science of how the mind, body, and voice work together to create presence and impact. I also bring in tools from positive psychology and mindfulness to help you shift your inner dialogue and speak up with confidence—whether that’s in meetings, presentations, or high-stakes conversations. In today’s world, good communication is an essential life skill. Make your team better communicators to sell, persuade, teach and inspire.

 
 

“I thoroughly enjoyed the communications skills workshop with Jude. She was very professional, organised and is clearly committed to her work.

I really liked the mix of theoretical information about public speaking that she provided and the opportunities we had to practise the skills we learnt throughout the day. For anyone wanting to improve their communications skills, I would definitely recommend Jude .
