Presentation coaching for high stakes, high visibility moments

Beth Hope works with senior leaders to communicate with clarity, confidence & impact across board presentations, investor pitches, keynotes, media & high visibility leadership moments.

When the stakes are high, how you communicate matters.

Targeted, short term engagements aligned to specific presentations, pitches or high stakes moments.
Support is structured across three areas:
1. Content & message clarity
- Structuring clear, compelling narratives
- Shaping messaging using psychological principles
- Defining what matters most & what to leave out
2. Delivery & presence
- Voice, pace, tone, emphasis & use of pause
- Body language, posture & physical presence
- Communicating with clarity under pressure
3. State & performance under pressure
- Breathwork & nervous system regulation
- Managing pressure, nerves & internal noise
- Creating focus, control & composure in the moment
This work ensures you are not just well prepared, but able to deliver with clarity, confidence & control when it matters most.
- Communication that is clear, concise & drives action
- Greater confidence in high visibility moments
- Stronger presence, influence & credibility at senior level
- The ability to stay composed & communicate effectively under pressure
- Board & executive presentations
- Investor, customer & product pitches
- Keynotes, conferences & speaking engagements
- Media appearances & filmed content
- High visibility internal leadership moments
Each engagement is bespoke, designed around the specific presentation, event or communication challenge.
Support is typically delivered across a short series of sessions, allowing time to shape content, refine delivery & build confidence ahead of the moment that matters.
Sessions can take place via Zoom or in person (London based, with travel available where required).
The work not only prepares you for a specific moment, but strengthens how you communicate more broadly, with improvements that carry into everyday leadership interactions.

Testimonials

Beth spoke at our Xero UK Kick Off Conference which is for all of our UK staff (around 400 employees). She was our customer story sharing her insights and journey as a business owner and how Xero has supported that. Beth had the audience completely captivated with her story and had an incredible response.

— Shelley, Xero

Beth came and delivered a two-hour decision making, goal setting and effective team working session to my team. This equipped them with highly useful knowledge about how to recognise personality differences to reduce conflict, break down projects and complex decisions into easily manageable chunks and gain better insight into their own working preferences. My team have mentioned the positive impact this session has had on numerous occasions since with one saying that he learned more from it than from a two-day communications course with a different training provider.

It sounds like a cliche, but at Depop we genuinely care about our People. We’ve launched our own Mental Health Month which we’ll be repeating each May, complete with workshops and initiatives to support, inform and raise awareness. One of these initiatives was bringing in Beth.

Beth worked with us for 3 days, meeting 21 employees who each signed up for a one to one, 45 minute coaching session. The feedback we had from this was outstanding. This was our highest rated initiative with our people finding this a fantastic way to go in-depth confidentially on issues, in a short space of time, so that they felt boosted and gained clarity. In our feedback surveys, 87% found their session inspiring, 100% found it useful, and 93% would recommend it to colleagues. Due to the success of this, we are hoping to bring Beth back again later in the year and make these sessions a regular feature of life at Depop, and is an investment we are convinced in making for our people.

— Chris, Director of People, Depop

Beth joined Talentful on multiple occasions to add value to our internal and external events. The first was as a member of an event panel, discussing the topic of coaching, and the second was as a guest presenter for an internal lunch and learn. Beth was key to ensuring the dialogue throughout both events was relevant, relatable and engaging – thank you, Beth!

— Senior People & Culture Manager, Talentful

We were delighted to have Beth Hope working across a variety of Stone Changes initiatives and programmes.

As part of The Change Café: a series of interviews with experts across change psychology, management and leadership, and as part of The Manager’s Tribe coffee-morning: a virtual safe haven for female professional managers, Beth shared invaluable insights around ‘Confidence during Change’ and how we can tap into a renewable source of authentic confidence even in the most challenging of times.

Beth also contributed to a newly launched coaching e-learning programme catered towards women leaders and delivered a well-received module of video classes on Authentic Confidence. Beth also participated as a guest speaker in the Event Manager >> Project Manager Series, a programme of coffee chats aiming to support Event Managers who are facing redundancy and by drawing on both her events and HR background, Beth delivered an excellent session sharing practical interview techniques and tricks.

It has been a pleasure working with Beth, a true ray of sunshine in what has been a dark time for many.
