WHO WE'VE WORKED WITH

When giving up might just be
the key to success
When we’re young we’re given lots of advice. Some of it good: Don’t eat yellow snow. Some of it not-so-good: Ignore the bullies and they’ll go away.
One rather bad piece of advice I occasionally overhear parents impart to their children is never give up. (Even typing the words makes me shudder). While well-intentioned and mostly harmless when taken on board as a child, as adults, this advice can be problematic.
After all, if we never give up, we may end up expending time, energy, and resources on something that is never going to work. (Enter stage right sunk cost fallacy).
One-on-One Coaching
Level: Intermediate - Advanced
One-on-one sessions for middle to upper-management professionals who are working towards a specific presentation. Session frequency and content will depend on the presentation being prepared.
As a busy executive, I have been increasingly expected to present and speak in public. It has become a key skill execs in this day and age need to have. I chose to seek out who was best qualified to help improve my skills and decided to engage Miriam from Naked Audience for one on one personal professional coaching. It's been an incredibly positive and rewarding experience with Miriam providing tailored structured feedback and advice that has honed in on key areas of improvement in a professional non-confrontational way. I highly recommend Miriam to others who may be time poor and need focussed and professional guidance to get the best results for them. Amongst a myriad of options for ongoing development being a great communicator and presenter should be a priority for those looking to develop professionally for their careers and personally.

Interview preparation
Level: Beginner - Advanced
A one-on-one session designed to maximise your chances of 'wow-ing' your interviewers and securing your desired role.
You know you have the skills capable for the job, but how do you communicate that to your interviewers in a way that's confident but humble, eager but not desperate, courteous but not subservient, professional but not uptight?
During your interview preparation session we will discuss the role you are applying for, your strengths and weaknesses as an interviewee, and how to best approach the interview. We will also run through several test questions, and provide feedback on your responses.
One of the best investments you can make, no matter where you are in your career, is with Miriam. My Interview Prep session was one of the most valuable coaching sessions I've ever had (hands down). I feel like I'm heading into interviews with a new secret power.
