rehearse
Rehearse a specific communication that you have to give, and I will give you feedback and coaching followed by an email with video footage and notes for further development.
consult
Consult with me on any specific communication challenges you may have and I will apply my knowledge and experience to help you work out strategies for tackling these most effectively. I am also available on a retainer basis should you wish to spread the cost of these sessions over a year and benefit from an on-call approach.
All of these and most of my work is delivered via zoom but I’m happy to meet in MSTeams if that is more appropriate for your organisation.
I do also work in-person, should that be most appropriate e.g. rehearsing for live in-person events, or working collectively with in-person teams. However, only when the benefits of working in-person outweighs the cost to the environment. When working in person, I donate to a carbon zero charity to offset my actions, and encourage my clients to do so also.
If you would rather contact me via email then it’s sarah@eloquential.co.uk and you can find me on on Instagram and LinkedIn.
