What are the two words you want to be known as? It can be a tough question to answer, but it’s the one I always start my process with. Why? Because it defines where you want to be and how you want to be perceived. From there, I build a tailored, practical strategy that helps you develop a credible and influential persona, that is both authentic and unique to you – I am NOT trying to make you into a mini-me 😉If the thought of public speaking makes you sick to your stomach; if you’re worried that others don’t see you as a leader; or if you feel your self-doubt is limiting your success, I am right here to help. No judgement. No intimidation. Just relatable advice and real-life tools you can use to rewrite the script.I work on a one-on-one basis with individuals that are preparing for job interviews, professional presentations, wedding speech or some other event. I also assist those looking to stand out and gain influence at work.If you’re not seen, you’re not heard. And if you’re not heard, you have no power. In a minimum of three sessions, I journey with you to boost your public and online speaking skills. I help you manage your anxiety and teach you how to deal with challenging situations or people.I also work with businesses, either in groups, with executives, or one-on-one. I help your team members develop a confident, influential and commanding speaking style that improves their ability to deliver presentations, speak to clients, pitch ideas, give advice, and communicate with stakeholders.My hands-on, step-by-step coaching services can be delivered in-person or online via Zoom.If you’re ready to kick-start your journey to being a great speaker – and so much more – reach out today. You have a voice. Now, let’s get it heard.✆ 048 768 5154ⓔ wendy@whatsthestuff.com.auⓦ whatsthestuff.com.au

My career has been grounded in education. I teach at a Masters level to international students at Kaplan Business School, lecturing in People, Culture & Leadership; Strategy & Operations; and Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence & Diversity. It’s really the students’ feedback that shapes my teaching style. Lecturers are assessed on what’s called the SELT test: Student Evaluation of Learning and Teaching. Out of 5 possible points, I average 4.8 to 4.9 every trimester, which is tremendously rewarding.I’ve been able to keep this high level of student satisfaction through COVID-19 restrictions, during which I ran interactive and engaging sessions via Zoom 20 hours a week.I genuinely want my students to thrive – to be heard and understood in a country that is often foreign to them. In 2020, my passion and dedication were recognised with a nomination for a Kaplan Award.
