Executive Coaching

I work 1-to-1 with business executives to help them be confident, engaging speakers in meetings and presentations

Each coaching programme is agreed upfront and tailored to meet specific personal goals. I typically work with someone over a 3-6 month period with a series of monthly sessions

All coaching sessions combine the use of practical techniques and tools with real life application to the executive’s own work culture and content

What my coaching clients say...

I worked with Hazel over a 6-month period with regular coaching on my presentation skills in Board meetings and with senior customers. Hazel did my career a world of good. I still tell people things I learned from her

Board Director

FTSE Corporate

I benefited enormously from the communications coaching with Hazel. A critical part of my role is creating presentations to C-Suite and Board level. Hazel’s coaching measurably improved the quality of the content I create by guiding me to think about my audience, plan the narrative up front and then structure the presentation to make the "so what" jump out of each slide
