Hi, I'm Esther,

An international speaker, award-winning author & known in London’s City as The Impact Guru.

(Deloitte coined that phrase)

I’m a former live BBC producer, dedicated to helping professionals like you to

  • get your voice heard

  • be more visible (not just technically brilliant, visibly brilliant at your job)

  • get promoted!

FTSE 100 Firms hire me because my unique set of broadcasting skills translate perfectly to business! All the tips and tricks you need to speak up, be more visible, be seen as a ‘thought leader’, and get promoted are skills I’ve learnt over a 20+ year career working with talent (yes, I’ve even interviewed George Clooney and Madonna).

Do you secretly wish you had more presence in the board room?

Whether you need the confidence and charisma to pitch, present, get promoted or network (aaaaah, that can be pressurising), my fabulous Masterclasses will help you win over audiences and win more business immediately!

 
 
Esther has massively upgraded our communication across the firm and has helped us succeed in client pitches…we thoroughly enjoy working with her.

Speak up – Get your voice heard!

In pitches, speaking at conferences, town-hall-style meetings, conference calls, and in front of those dreaded interview panels!

I used to be petrified of public speaking, I used to sweat, shake, and forget everything, even my name. That's why I wrote my book XXX [link].

And guess what? Turns out many of my clients feel the same.

That's why I'd love to share my tips with you.

I can help you…

  • Speak up at the board meeting (and look confident)

  • Nail your conference speech

  • Face the grueling interview panel

  • Network and meet new clients

  • Chair the video conference

  • Pitch to clients

  • Give the ‘vision’ presentation for your boss

  • Be fabulous!

 

You can be good! I will show you how to do it – and it’s fun.

 

Working with Esther is an exhilarating experience. She is a bundle of energy and pushed me beyond my normal comfort zone. I can only say everything she says turns out to be absolutely right!

Here’s the good news.  

As a live producer for the BBC, I worked out what makes people tick. I figured out what that magic bullet is when it comes to charisma, being a ‘personality’ and how fragile big egos can be. Most importantly I worked out a formula for having the ability to speak like a leader and captivate audiences (of any size). You can learn to have ‘Personal Impact’ and it if you have it, you will be more successful in business! 

 
 

I wanted to tell stories, be creative, work for the BBC and learn what makes people tick...turns out what works in broadcasting works even better in business!

Now I work with audiences from Deloitte, JPMorgan, Barclays, Societe General, blue chip organisations including International law firms, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and the British Government!
