Pre-talk freakouts you have to face alone
It’s not your usual advisor story…
You know the one, where I hated public speaking but overcame my fears and now I’m here to help you do it too.
The reality is, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love speaking - and I have a shedload of experience both doing it and coaching others.
That doesn’t mean I don’t get nervous.
That doesn’t mean I haven’t had major flops.
That doesn’t mean I only get nice comments on social media.
It means I know my craft inside out and understand exactly how to help you find your authentic voice, write killer content and get your message out there!
"This was the best investment for my confidence. Working with Sally was one of the most crucial elements to my success in commentary for the Olympic Games. These techniques changed the way I delivered my message and Sally was able to help me craft that message."
- Leisel Jones, 4x Olympian

Experience
20+ years coaching experience (since founding a Speech & Drama studio at the age of 16).
8+ years as a TV + Radio News Reporter for major networks.
4+ years as Acting Spokesperson for one of Australia’s largest water companies.
With my love of speaking and storytelling it’s no surprise I became a TV News Journalist - reporting for Australia’s biggest networks including Ten, Seven and the ABC.
In my late 20’s I crossed to the other side of the media mic and acted as spokesperson for a major water company (yes, I was the glamour girl for things you should and shouldn’t flush).
On the side, I always coached kids and other journalists on how to use their voice and speak with confidence.
In 2018, I decided to leave my PR job to take this expertise full time.
I’m incredibly proud of the difference being made to voices all over the world.
Every day I have the privilege of helping people create impact in the world by finding their voice and speaking with confidence.
Whether it be on stage, online, on a podcast, on the Tedx circle or in the media spotlight - I’m the secret weapon aka Throat Chakra Whisperer helping people shine.
PS - The chakras are your energetic centres and your voice affects them all and vice versa!
I live in beautiful Brisbane Australia, and work with clients all over the world. I'm a proud aunty, child-free by choice and big on living life on my own terms and encouraging others to do the same. I love mentoring high school students and the next wave of broadcast journalists. My happy place is airline lounges, and I'm always planning my next adventure (I rang in my 40th in an ice hotel). When I’m home, I enjoy yoga, jigsaw puzzles and nurturing my love-hate relationship with home renovations.
When I’m not guiding a speaking breakthrough, I like to experience my own personal ones.
As an auditory voice coach, my biggest challenge to-date was a 10-day Vipassana Silent Meditation Course in the UK.
My proudest moment was getting to the peak of a snow-covered mountain at -8°C wearing nothing but my leopard-print active wear. It was part of a WimHof method expedition and yes that smile is genuine!
If I’m going to encourage you to get out of your comfort zone, it’s only fair I keep doing the same!
“Blew my mind… This program was life changing.
I can honestly say I’ve never experienced such heartfelt, spontaneous and consistent positive feedback for any professional development program in my career.”
- Tony Schreiber, Orrcon Steel
