Does your mind go blank when you open your mouth to talk in front of an audience?
Does speaking into a microphone – even the one in your computer – make you sweat?
When you think about giving a presentation at work, does your stomach turn?
Have your legs ever turned to jelly as you stepped onto a stage?
If so, you’re in the right place.
It’s not just actors and singers who experience performance anxiety (or stage fright, as it is commonly known in English). In fact, presentation jitters is one of the most common fears affecting business people worldwide. And all of those fears are amplified if you struggle with the language.
It could be a Zoom meeting with your team stakeholders, or a sales pitch with an important client, but your body will react as though it were a dinner date with a hungry lion.
But there’s good news! You don't need to speak perfect English or have a perfect accent to communicate effectively.
If you – or your team – want:
The confidence to make an impact when presenting, either online or face-to-face?
The authentic communication skills (including virtual presence, an engaging voice and body language) to influence others and drive change?
The ability to fully take part in meetings and virtual events, answer complex questions, and make your point clearly?
The essential grammar and language skills to match your position, and show your true professional capacity when writing or presenting?
To build strong relationships and hold polite, diplomatic conversations?
To attend virtual conferences in English in your specialised area so you can learn from global experts?
Now, you can. With communication coaching from Melanie Hussell.
Melanie is dedicated to empowering everyone who has something important to say, regardless of language skills, level, or accent, to speak up – with confidence.

Transformed my executive communication with Melanie’s techniques and honest approach
“I struggled to articulate my passion for our business with clarity, tone and pace, in a way that held my listeners’ attention, and landed my messages. By working with Melanie I have transformed my executive communication capability and style. I am now a more reflective and self-directed communicator. For Leadership, my presentations have helped garner a new level of engagement and support for my team and customers. I absolutely love Melanie’s empathy, and her direct and honest approach”
Make a bigger impact with clearer language and strong starts to engage your audience
“As a global speaker (from Brazil to Australia), I worked with Melanie to hone my presentation skills and to take my English to a more advanced level. Together we explored: communication goals, engaging starts and her powerful linguistic techniques. Now I am able to make a bigger impact when I speak, with clearer language and an increased feeling of self-confidence!”
Melanie transformed the team’s voices, visuals and messages: easily noticed internationally
“We learnt how to use our voices and bodies, our visuals and language to deliver clearer messages, and to be more authentic and passionate. And, as for many professionals, it was critical to reduce any stage fright to a more manageable feeling of discomfort by focusing on our content and delivery, and less on ourselves as individuals. The progress was huge and easily noticed at our annual strategy kick off and by our international colleagues”
Melanie is an expert coach, crucial in my international and intercultural environment
“As a business communication coach, Melanie has guided me and helped me to improve my various communication skills, which I can fully apply within the company and through my national and international contacts. I highly appreciate Melanie’s expertise in her field and her ability to convey this as a coach.”
