Corporate Showcalling for event management students

I am a transformational coach for change with a background embedded in storytelling. I work with people who want to make changes to their lives but feel stuck, frustrated by prevarication. You know something doesn't feel right but you need help to work out exactly who you are and who you want to be. I help build strategies for dealing with lack of confidence preventing you simply daring to start.

Coaching is profound and enabling. I have created this self guided course to initiate change in your life. I have taken what I have learnt to work from coaching individuals and groups to make an accessible and effective course.

Alongside Coaching I am a corporate showcaller with over 30 years experience working in the UK and worldwide on every kind of event from automotive to pharmaceutical, charity and gala dinners to hair and charity fashion shows.  I have worked in venues varying in size from a hotel conference room to the Albert Hall. . End clients as diverse as Astrazeneca, Google and automotive including Landrover and Ford.  I call Virtual shows and webstreams, something added to my skillset during the pandemic.

I have experience working with performers, musicians, choreographers and musical directors.  I have worked alongside live broadcast and TV recordings.

I understand the pressures felt by people working in an intense environment in events and theatre. Self confidence is critical in managing professional relationships so the course is useful no matter what industry you work in. It will give you strategies to inhabit your best and most effective self when under pressure or finding yourself in a state of impostor syndrome, which is honestly common to everyone.                                   

I spent many years working in theatre stage and company management in repertory and the West end including National Theatre, Old Vic and Young Vic. I worked on Phantom and Les Miserables including showcalling the 25th anniversary concerts of both productions. The relationship between theatre sub text and Coaching is paper thin.

I have created the courses on showcalling for producers and junior producers to give them a better understanding of the job and some confidence if they find themselves being required to showcall.

I have built the courses for event management students and theatre stage management students because it is essential that producers who have come through event management courses have a better understanding of the technical side of putting on an event and their critical role in working with the showcaller to navigate the onsite pressures.  The producer having a basic understanding of the production side of an event is invaluable to the production crew.  There is currently little available learning in this area so I hope the event student course fills that gap. For stage management it gives you an insight into the differences between the two worlds and the potential for working in both. 

I run group coaching sessions in self confidence and better communication. I also run more advanced live training courses for those with more  experience who would like to delve deeper into the actual calling of a corporate show.

My long professional experience and my own life challenges enable me to offer this knowledge up in my courses.  I hope you enjoy whichever course you pursue.
