About Anthea

A speaking confidence specialist with 20 years in learning and development and five years focused on the psychology of speaking fear. I work with professionals who are excellent at their jobs yet go quiet in the rooms that matter most to them.

My approach is psychology first. I address what someone believes about speaking before I touch how they do it, which is why the change tends to stick long after the session ends.

I have worked across financial services, rail, technology, education and professional services, with groups ranging from emerging talent to senior leadership. I have been the person in the room who couldn't speak, which is where the work comes from.

Sessions are warm, direct and practical. People leave having done something, not just heard something.
