A Little Bit About Me
I’ve been working in the world of voice for over 30 years. I began my career in London at the BBC working on documentaries, TV shows and films. I’m now an audio producer, studio director, voice over artist and executive voice coach. But my greatest achievement has been using my many years of experience to create executive voice and presence coaching programs that help good speakers become great speakers.
Based in Asia since 1996, I’ve run workshops and webinars across the region and beyond; Hong Kong, India, Dubai, Singapore, China, Korea, Japan, the US and Australia. I’ve had the pleasure of coaching CEOs, senior partners, young executives, and TEDx speakers, teaching them the skills to speak with impact, power and authority. I’ve worked with many of the major global financial institutions and international legal firms, including Goldman Sachs, Standard Chartered, HSBC, Baker McKenzie, Nomura, Credit Suisse, Hogan Lovells, HSF, DLA Piper, as well as JLL, Bloomberg, Microsoft, Weber Shandwick, Estee Lauder, Van Cleef & Arpels and many more.
As a voice expert I’ve written opinion columns and articles for advertising and human resources publications and been interviewed for newspaper articles, TV shows, radio and podcasts, sharing my knowledge and expertise on the importance of voice. I was also delighted to be voted a top Hong Kong Influencer for my work in this field.
