Hello there, As a Communication Coach, I know that communication skills are life skills. You need them for success in school, work, and in life generally. And guess what- they can be learned.
I think of myself as not just a coach but also a destiny helper -- supporting you on your personal and professional development journey so you can step into bigger and better opportunities with competence...
Hello there, As a Communication Coach, I know that communication skills are life skills. You need them for success in school, work, and in life generally. And guess what- they can be learned.
I think of myself as not just a coach but also a destiny helper -- supporting you on your personal and professional development journey so you can step into bigger and better opportunities with competence and confidence.
I'm here to provide a safe, nurturing, and positive learning environment where you can benefit from the expertise I've gained over the 30 years that I've been a communication specialist in Jamaica where I worked as a TV presenter, News Anchor and Educator, and in the UK where I
supported senior staff at an international organization with communication strategy and media engagement on assignments in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Pacific.
My lessons are designed to boost your public speaking, people skills, and self-confidence.
So how will we get there? One size does not fit all so your journey will be tailored for you.
I start by understanding your needs and goals through a pre-coaching activity and questionnaire.
In our first session, we will get to know each other a bit, and explore your:
-Communication style and habits
-Reasons for pursuing growth in your communication skills
-Goals and areas of emphasis while we are working together
There are several areas of your communication that you can focus on to make you more successful at school or work or in your personal life. For example, you might want to be a better listener, manage your nerves in public speaking better, improve your impromptu speaking skills, speak up in meetings and classes more effectively, or converse at social events with confidence.
Once we have decided on our focus, you can expect:
-Coaching conversations
-Practical activities
-Video presentations
-Reflective/learning journaling
-Simulations
-Recording and reviewing oral activities
- Communication challenges to be done outside of our coaching sessions
Some people may need just a few sessions to reach those goals and others will need a lot. We try not to get ahead of ourselves but take it one session at a time.
Expect helpful feedback and real-life assignments
Expect encouragement
Expect Aha moments
You will find that developing your communication skills takes work and courage. But our time working together will be meaningful and it can be fun. And ... if you put in the work, you will see results.
If it sounds like I'm the right fit for you, it will be my pleasure to support your growth in this vital area of your life. I look forward to working with you.
P.S. I forgot to mention that there will be lots of celebrations in our sessions. As Chief Cheerleader, I make a big deal of celebrating your wins - because celebrating releases joy... And I'm a firm believer that learning, laughing, and liberating our minds go well together!
