We really enjoyed working with you, Jackie and I certainly benefited from your help and advice. It was really useful to have an independent person critique not only how we are presenting but also the content. Thanks for helping me prepare for this.

Jackie spoke with honesty, wit, warmth, and humanity, sharing a story of her personal journey that related perfectly to the themes and purpose of the event. She engaged each group she spoke to in ways that reflected the diversity of people in the room. I would highly recommend Jackie as an energetic, articulate and witty speaker for any event.

If you have been approached to do a talk and you want to smash it, or you have never done one and you want to gain the confidence and professional edge to get on stage…Jackie’s the lady you want to work with.
Her decades of theatrical experience and training actors herself are like gold dust when you work with her. She is calm, knowledgeable and a genius in pulling you out of your head and transforming you into the speaker you want to be.

Think of it as a journey with Jackie. Together you reach your destination which is to ultimately shine the way YOU want to, whether that be on stage, on the mic or even in front of a camera

Jackie has this incredible ability to make even the most nervous, self-doubting speaker feel seen, safe and supported. Her calm, encouraging presence - combined with practical tools and tips - helped me manage my nerves and connect with my message. She also supported me to simplify my slides, sharpen my story and approach the whole experience with more confidence and clarity.

Jackie’s ability to deal with my deepest fears, my ‘worst case scenarios’ and my many insecurities on this subject were beyond my expectations, and, I am sure, beyond her remit. But absolutely necessary and invaluable on my part. Jackie’s ability and 6th sense taught me how to replace my illogical thoughts and paranoia with calmness and confidence. This is a teaching skill area that seems to come naturally from Jackie.

Given that I knew damn well I should've booked one of Jackie's bigger services (but hadn't left myself enough time) the power hour I had with her blew me away!I came away with a much clearer, much more compelling talk. It even gave me an idea for my next book! She also shared a tool that makes it simpler to know how to construct a talk, and gave me a fabulous suggestion on how to make the opener of my talk punchier.

If you want to work on a specific talk with an expert or generally improve your speaking skills- go straight to Jackie at Power to Speak.

I employed Jackie to help with both the content and delivery of talks around my book publication. She helped me to transform a mass of ideas into a well-structured format, which not only saved me countless hours, but resulted in a much more impactful and coherent presentation than I could have managed on my own. Jackie is a winning combination of patient, experienced, encouraging, knowledgeable, smart AND just the sort of person you want to work with. She gets real results, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their public speaking and performance skills.

A fabulous overall experience. As someone with limited public speaking experience and a historical fear of doing so, Jackie not only helped me to nail the flow of my speech, but also to overcome that fear and deliver with absolute confidence and clarity. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to up-skill in both the construction and delivery of speeches. As an added bonus, she's also great fun to work with!

I no longer fear being under the spotlight, but rather enjoy it. Thank you Jackie.

Outside input is invaluable when you're crafting a talk, and Jackie was exactly the expert I needed. She helped me shape the flow and message in a way I just couldn’t see on my own. Jackie has a real gift for asking the right questions. She helped me uncover the real opportunity in my talk and bring it to life.

This talk has turned out to be one of the most valuable things I’ve done in recent years. Huge thanks to Jackie for helping me make it happen!
