Once again we have been busy delivering pitch coaching workshops, proudly working with the Investment Association’s Engine accelerator for the 5th year and Accenture’s FinTech Innovation Lab for the 11th consecutive year.
Always a highlight of the calendar, we never cease to be amazed. We meet inspiring founders across a wide variety of disciplines, learn about the very latest market innovations, understand the challenges they solve and why that matters to their audiences and stakeholders. It is always a joy to help them shape their stories and pitches as they share their vision to deliver real impact and build their confidence.
Our focus now shifts towards campaigns and content generation as we help clients get set for the many industry conferences ahead including Innovate Finance Global Summit (IFGS), TradeTech in Paris, Money2020, DigiAssets, Energy Leaders Summit, to name but a few.
As we all know it’s about ROI. So as you get set for the stage as a speaker, panellist or moderator you might find my top tips on ‘How to shine on any stage’ helpful (and we’re running a ‘Confidence on Stage’ workshop at TradeTech this year). If you’re looking to drive brand awareness, get some news to market in anticipation and/or make the most of your event presence, we’d love to help.
I hope you enjoy this newsletter, we believe the coaching really sets us apart – as we never forget the human in the mix.
Kind regards,
Julia Streets, Founder and CEO
So often we talk about the mental health of teams, but not so much the mental health of leaders. It is encouraging to see that TradeTech is running a workshop on mental health on the trading floor in Paris next month.
Coaching and mentoring has been integral to what we do. We blend industry expertise with communications, media and pitch coaching to deliver a variety of workshops for senior executives and their teams as they seek to hone their public speaking or stage skills.
What’s more, Julia Streets is a qualified executive leadership and life transformation coach supporting C-Suite executives in navigating change.

Mastering the art of public speaking is crucial for everyone’s professional growth. And many industry experts are asked to share stages and panels often without ever receiving much, or in some cases, any training or advice. So – what makes a good presenter, moderator or panel participant? Here are five key points to help you shine on any stage. And if you need additional help to get you on your way with confidence, please do get in touch!
