The coaching with Ailsa was mind opening for me as it helped me to link my body language and breathing to the pace of my speech. Chunking the words and sentences, is something I’ll continue to ensure impact with any audience. Ailsa is an incredibly experienced, talented and agile coach. I can only recommend her and thank her immensely for the insights and advice she has provided.
