Meet your groups facilitator:
Claire
I am an experienced Presenter (TV, Radio, Live, Events, Video, Online), and former school performing arts and communication skills teacher of 16 years. I left the teaching profession in July 2024 to focus on my coaching and passion for developing confident communication skills for everyone. I now coach clients online from all over the world (and locally in-person) in confident communications, public speaking, interview preparation, drama, mime, and communication skills. I have also worked as a professional actress, including lots of T.I.E (Theatre in Education), and as a Director.
I passionately feel that children, especially those for whom the school system might not be working, should not be disadvantaged in developing their confidence, self-expression, and public speaking skills. So, I have created courses, curricula, and groups where everyone can learn how to share their VOICE, their IDEAS, and their CREATIVITY. Build their CONFIDENCE, EXPRESS themselves, and feel EMPOWERED.
Plans for more group sessions/workshop events across Cornwall and Devon!!
Do you perhaps know of other perfect small venues where more group sessions or workshops could be started?
Are you part of a community that could be interested in joining together for booking one-off events, monthly, or termly sessions? or a group looking for regular drama/public speaking support?
Drop me a message, as I am very open to growing, and developing my products.
After all, EVERYONE deserves a chance to be a STRONG SPEAKER!
I would like to suggest/ am interested in knowing about any more sessions/special one-off events
