About Susie Ashfield: keynote presentation, one-to-one speech coaching and group workshops (UK-wide).

I am dedicated to making entrepreneurs, employees, and CEOs look, sound and feel good about public speaking. Over the past seven years, I have helped many become the rockstars of their industry and featured in Forbes in questionable attire (Nothing says radical industry disrupter like a woman in an M&S jumper).

After graduating from drama school, I entered the corporate world. Soon I noticed that the stiff, over-formal jargon of the 90s was still alive and kicking in the board rooms. And people hated it. They came across as somebody they were not: insecure, boring, and repetitive. Because of my background in drama and acting, people began to ask me for help ahead of speeches and presentations. Seven years and a certificate as a coach later, I have helped teams at Rolls Royce, Disney and other corporations give the most incredible and natural speeches in front of huge audiences.

Originally from a famously odd (think Alan Partridge) part of the UK, I now live in London with an excellent life coach, a dog called Bolly. Skiing is my oldest hobby, whilst ice skating is my newest. I am also a volunteer mentor for Fine Cell Work.
