About Anna Boon

Back in 2018, whilst working on a military role play recruitment job, I was asked to give feedback to a soldier on his presentation. Having worked professionally as an actor for nearly a decade prior to this, I knew exactly what to tell him, and really enjoyed it.I subsequently turned my acting career into a coaching career. I'm now passing the communication skills I learnt from screen and stage onto people who really need them. People who want to communicate powerfully inspire those around them.Over the years, as well as freelancing as a facilitator and trainer, I ran my own company which specialised in pitch and presentation coaching and worked across industries with a huge range of clients. I am now a Senior Consultant at Higson - a company that helps individuals, teams and leaders grow and thrive. Higson drives growth and behaviour change through fresh ideas and solutions that are rooted in psychology. We empower people to achieve more, and we enhance our client's social and environmental impact by giving 20% of all profits to charity. It's a privilege to be working for a company who practise what they preach and who's values so align with my own. We commit to giving the best to our clients, and to getting the best out of them.If you'd like your team to excel, don't hesitate to get in touch.

  • Techstars
    Pitch Coach For Barclays Techstars
    Techstars Apr 2018 - Present
    London, United Kingdom
    I recently coached the Founders of 10 start-up's from Barclays Techstars . Following their journeys from, not knowing quite what to say and how to say it, to watching them pitch to the investors on demo day, has been truly inspiring. We worked on body language, voice and how to tell the story of their companies, and every single founder came across with poise and passion, and found a real security on stage. Techstars is a wonderful program, equipping each start up with the skills needed to flourish. It has been a joy to work with them.

    British Army Jan 2014 - Present
    United Kingdom
    I have been working with the British Army, Navy and Air force for a number of years now, and in a number of different capacities; I teach interview technique, advise on recruitment strategies (which includes presentation and communication training) as well as coaching on interpersonal and welfare skills. Working with the forces is an incredibly rewarding task, as, with team, management and leadership featuring so strongly in their ethos, they can take what they learn into every area of their lives.
  • Birmingham City University
    Presentation Coach
    Birmingham City University Jun 2017 - Present
    London, United Kingdom
    At Birmingham University I work with the PHD Students, helping them with presentation techniques at the stage of them having finished their dissertations, just before they have to give presentations about them in front of their peers, lecturers and prospective employers. Often the students have been studying hard for years, but haven't had to stand up and talk in front of people for most of that time so have little idea of how to go about doing it well! It's wonderful to see the transformation - they often go from being nervous, quiet, shy students to being confident, passionate individuals brimming with knowledge and excitement to share their discoveries!
  • Rebelroam
    Pitch, Presentations And Communications Coach
    Rebelroam Apr 2018 - Present
    Estonia
    Rebelroam is a tech company that improves Wi-fi on public transport. We spent the day in their incredible multi-story office in Talinn, working out how to communicate this message to everyone - be it investors, potential clients or someone you meet at a bar. Making the message simple is key, and through sharing real life stories of how poor wifi connection on public transport has affected us individually, we were able to see how to make the company relevant to anyone around the world. Through listening techniques, stage techniques and role-play, we worked out the best strategy for each member of the company to approach their particular field with clarity and gravias.

    London, United Kingdom
    Back in 2013 Selah Theatre Company was founded off the back of winning a slot the Accidental Festival at The Round House in Camden. A group of recent drama school grads devised a play, and decided we wanted to carry on and form a company! Since then we have performed numerous plays at the Edinburgh Fringe and in London, but we have also branched out to do Educational Theatre and Outreach too, and it's under this banner that I deliver coaching for presentations and communications around the UK. I have worked with people young and old, in corporate settings, at festivals and in theatres. Selah, meaning Stop and Think, is the word at the heart of all we do, and that's what we want the presentations we coach to result in.
