From Keynotes and Workshops
"In just three hours, Anthea helped me unlock the confidence within me — not only to speak up in meetings and engage in public speaking when needed but to actively seek out opportunities to do so. Less than two months later, this newfound confidence has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone repeatedly, pursuing new tasks and projects instead of sticking with what I knew. As an introvert, stepping out of my shell was transformative. In short, working with Anthea changed my life."
Steven Lynch-Barry, LCT International, London
"Your presentation was nothing short of phenomenal. The learners couldn't stop raving about it afterward — everyone took away so much, myself included. Your speaking style is incredibly engaging, and your message resonated deeply with the entire group."
Aemi Bestman, Network Rail
"You crafted and delivered an incredibly impactful session that will stay with the participants for a long time. Even though you only ended up having 30 minutes or so, you managed to build great rapport with the audience."
Faizza Rumani, EDI Specialist, Network Rail
"Anthea's session at the Youth Leadership Programme inspired our students with practical advice on speech crafting and confidence-building. They applied her guidance during impromptu speeches, rising to the challenge."
Kim Nguyen-Quan, Deputy Head at Leigh Academy Halley
"It was a pleasure hearing from you at the experience week at Google, your insights left a lasting impression on me. Wanted to thank you for your inspired words."

Murray Nathan, HSBC
Anthea did an amazing job presenting to us. She was well-spoken and conveyed effectively what needed to be conveyed. She knew her stuff very well. I also like the fact that I came out of the session with a plan of action. I definitely recommend this to anyone."
Cielo Bautista, Moracle Foundation
From Coaching
"Anthea really helped me understand the root cause behind what I was feeling and helped me to reframe the whole situation. ... I feel that I was able to deliver the message that I wanted to in front of a large audience. So, I'm grateful for her guidance and support for my first public speaking event."
Ana-Maria Broscatan, Commissions Manager, Close Brothers

- Jane Dormer, Subject Matter Expert in Marketing Procurement, Proctimise
"Stripping out the fear factor"
"I've done a lot of public speaking. I've been Best Man three times, I've spoken at multiple conferences, and I had a really good chance to chat with Anthea about things I really struggle with. Stripping out the fear factor of public speaking automatically makes you a better public speaker, that was one of my key takeaways."
- George Head, Growth Director, Proctimise
"Helped to make us feel at ease"
"Really enjoyed Anthea's session. She was a great trainer, really engaging. She helped to make us feel at ease, but also gave us some great tools and processes to improve the way we worked. Some really nice little sessions to break the ice, particularly working on impromptu speaking, which is something we all do quite a lot."
- Ross Thompson, Co-Founder, Proctimise
"How you improve and grow"
"Public speaking is something that everyone needs to do at one point, especially in the corporate world. It's very important to practise, to learn from your mistakes, and that's how you improve and grow."
- Daniela, Project Manager, Proctimise

"Think of this session as unlocking what is already there instead of improving yourself." Anthea told me when I expressed my desire to improve myself. In just three hours focused on presentation skills, Anthea helped me unlock the confidence within me—not only to speak up in meetings and engage in public speaking when needed but to actively seek out opportunities to do so.

"your presentation was nothing short of phenomenal. The learners couldn’t stop raving about it afterward—everyone took away so much, myself included! Your speaking style is incredibly engaging, and your message resonated deeply with the entire group.
The resources you shared were such a hit, especially the wheel—it’s already become a go-to tool for us. What really stood out was how interactive the session was, which isn’t easy to pull off, but you made it look effortless. The visuals, slides, and quotes were all so impactful and tied everything together perfectly. Honestly, it was a solid 10/10."
Aemi Bestman, Learning and Organisational Development Consultant, Network Rail
I found this experience very enlightening! It highlighted my reasons for not moving forward. As an introvert, it allowed me to face my fear of being social and surrounding myself with likeminded people. It also focused on the internal and external factors that hinder and contribute to me not moving forward. It gave me the confidence in myself to proceed forward regardless of my fears and not knowing everything about the business I want to create.
Lisa Hunt, Counsellor, London
Anthea has a remarkable talent for connecting with people on a personal level, helping them discover their inner strengths and recognize opportunities they never knew were available.... Anthea’s coaching also provided me with valuable insights about myself, enabling me to utilize my strengths and tackle challenges with strengthened confidence. In result, my Learning and Development Workshops are more impactful and produce better results for all the employees that I train.
Her mentorship has not only enhanced my professional skills but has also opened up new paths for growth, both personally and in my career.

About Our Future Leader Services
"Thank you, Anthea, for joining us at the Youth Leadership Program at Leigh Academy Halley yesterday. Your insightful presentation on how to craft a speech, along with your own inspiring speech, truly resonated with the students. They applied your advice during their impromptu speeches at the end, which was a real test of their confidence. We’re proud that they all rose to the challenge and successfully took the stage."
Kim Nguyen-Quan, Deputy Head of Turing Small School
"I found the online course to be quite useful because it got me thinking about my future in a slightly different way. Before I had always just thought “go to university”, but this got me thinking a little more about what choices I was making and how every new experience I had, in school or at an internship or in life, could be a learning opportunity. Thinking about what my values were was also something that was a little new to me and I have never really thought about how they could affect my future."
Student 1, International School of Helsinki, Finland
"It was a pleasure hearing from you at the experience week at Google, your insights left a lasting impression on me. Wanted to thank you for your inspired words."
