About Jay

I’m a Canberra-based speaker, facilitator, presenter and voice artist with a background that spans professional communication, government, diplomacy, intelligence, performance and the creative arts.

After more than two decades working in roles where communicating complex ideas clearly really mattered, I now use those skills in a much more eclectic portfolio career. I run practical workshops and one-to-one sessions in voice, presentation, audio and creative communication; speak about mental health, psychosocial safety and lived experience; facilitate and MC events; and work with creative organisations on marketing and audience engagement.

My approach is practical, warm and highly participatory. I’m interested in helping people communicate with greater confidence and clarity — whether that means speaking to a room, finding a more natural and engaging voice, handling difficult material, or getting an idea out of their head and into the world.

I’m also an active performer, including improv theatre and choral performance, and I bring that willingness to experiment, play and respond to the room into my facilitation work.

Good to Know

Client Requirements
I am flexible. I usually use a presentation but it's optional. For example, I've given presentations as 'morning tea' and led discussion rather than presenting in a traditional sence.
Additional Notes
I already work as a professional speaker (mostly regarding wellness, recovery and workplace psychosocial wellbeing) and MC. I am trained and experienced in broadcasting including podcasts and radio (presenter on 2XXFM). I have years of professional experience as a facilitator and trainer of facilitators. My background in government means I am well-versed in working with government clients, although I'm equally comfortable with corporate and community groups.
