COMMUNICATION COACHING

Presence.

Influence.

Impact.

Executive Communication Coaching is not about information, it's about influence. Whether you are addressing a board, leading through change, speaking publicly, or representing your organisation under pressure, how you communicate shapes perception, trust and outcomes.

My Approach

Performance expertise. Communication mastered.

My approach is grounded not only in coaching, but in decades of professional performance. I understand first-hand what it means to communicate when the stakes are high, deliver under scrutiny, remain present under pressure and be clear, grounded and credible in front of demanding audiences.  I translate what it takes to perform under pressure into practical tools you can use immediately—whether you’re leading a meeting, presenting to stakeholders, or navigating a high-stakes conversation.

Before words persuade, the body communicates. Before the voice carries authority, it needs freedom. My work aligns body, breath and voice, so your communication reflects the strength of your leadership, not just intellectually but bodily and vocally. By freeing the body and voice, leaders regain gravitas and authenticity, enabling communication that is persuasive, dynamic and trusted.

Each programme is designed around your specific leadership context and communication goals. Coaching is bespoke and delivered one-to-one, in discreet, confidential settings, or through focused executive intensives.

Who I Work With

UK, Europe and the Middle East

My clients are CEOs, board-level executives, and senior leaders from global organisations such as Merrill Lynch, Nadhi, Société Générale, Allianz, Bank of America, RWE, and BOOTS. They are operating at a high level, often under pressure, and want to communicate with clarity, authority, and gravitas — without losing their authenticity.

I also work with lawyers, entrepreneurs, consultants, politicians, and academics—people whose ideas, decisions, and leadership depend on being understood, trusted, and remembered.

Many of my clients are international professionals working in English as a second language. I support them to communicate clearly, comfortably, and with authority—ensuring accent is never a barrier to impact.

Alongside my coaching, I continue to work as a film and television actor and voice artist with global productions and brands including Disney, HBO, Netflix, the BBC, BMW, and Omega. That ongoing experience keeps my executive coaching work, current, practical and rooted in what truly lands with an audience.

The Performance Mastery Clinic

Alongside my coaching work, I co-lead The Performance Mastery Clinic with trial lawyer and communication specialist, James Welsh. James brings years of high-stakes courtroom experience, shaping persuasive arguments and delivering speeches designed to influence judges and juries. Together, we offer a rare dual-coach experience, combining the psychology of influence with the craft of performance.

Two experts. Two disciplines. One complete transformation.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Richard gave my team a workshop on effective communication."

"Drawing on his skills as a theatre professional he gave us simple and effective exercises to investigate and develop our own skills and qualities as communicators and gave us a series of techniques to help us when communicating in both large and small scale settings.  As well as being a thoroughly enjoyable session, it was extremely refreshing for us as litigation solicitors to receive coaching on how we communicate, which can be just as important as what we are actually saying.  So much of what we say can get lost in a lack of confidence or understanding of how best to physically get our message across."

If you are ready to elevate how your leadership is experienced, not just heard, I would love to discuss a bespoke coaching programme.
