Coaching & Workshops

Have you hit a storytelling stumbling block? Want to zhuzh some content or polish a presentation? You need a date with a storytelling specialist! This one-on-one session (remote) is completely focused on solving your challenge together.
Whether it’s refining your message or perfecting your pitch, I’ll offer strategic, tailored storytelling advice to set you in the right direction.
Let’s bounce some ideas.
LET’S DO IT.
Speaking to the media can be daunting. There's nothing natural about having a microphone in your face! StoryUp media training sessions are a safe space to build your skills and grow your confidence. As a radio presenter I interviewed everyone from Prime Ministers to plumbers, taxi drivers to taxidermists, so I know how to prepare you for interview success.
StoryUp media training is tailored to meet each client's specific needs. Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced spokesperson, I’ll help you deliver your message with confidence, clarity and cut-through. You’ll learn simple, effective techniques to handle whatever a journalist throws at you. Then put your new skills into practice in simulated interviews so you’re ready for the real thing. Plus you’ll receive immediate, constructive feedback to help you improve, so that next time you’re asked for an interview you’ll know exactly what to do.

Research shows we’re more likely to remember information when it’s wrapped in a story. Use storytelling craft to hook your audience, make it matter and make it memorable.
MAKE ME UNBORING
So you’ve started a podcast - fantastic! Or perhaps you have an idea brewing and want to be absolutely ready to take the mic. How do you create a professional podcast that people want to listen to, and still sound authentically you?
In this custom coaching program we’ll start by clearly pinpointing your audience. Then you’ll learn tips and techniques used by professional broadcasters (like me!) to create a must-listen podcast experience. I’ve been a radio presenter for over 15 years so audio storytelling is my happy place! I’ll help you master the essentials so you can:
- Create podcast content that delivers exactly what your audience wants, and makes them come back for more.
- Elevate your presentation skills so you sound like the very best version of you
- Make simple, effective changes to improve the quality and professionalism of your podcast
- Bring out the best in your guests with interviewing techniques used by journalists
- Understand how to structure and deliver compelling podcast episodes
HELP ME POD LIKE A PRO
If you want your news, issue or event to earn media coverage then you need to know how to pitch it to journalists. I’ve been on the receiving end of thousands of pitches in my 15 years on ABC radio, so I know what works. This session is ideal for community and sporting groups, not for profits, startup founders and small business. You’ll learn what journalists are looking for in a story, how to identify media opportunities, how to pitch your story, and how to develop positive relationships with journalists.
