You can be brilliant at your job and still be terrible at communicating it.

In this first episode, I speak with Jess Preston, co-founder of Inside Voices and a communication coach who works with leaders and spokespeople to help them speak with clarity and confidence. We explore how habits, nerves and early influences shape the way you speak, and what to do when your voice doesn’t match your intention.

We talk about the British discomfort with confidence, media training, and what makes a strong spokesperson in today’s landscape. We also discuss how brand jargon weakens messaging, and why clear, human language matters more than ever in public relations and internal communications.

Jess shares practical advice on voice training, public speaking and managing nerves, drawing on her background in performance and coaching. I reflect on what I’ve seen go wrong and right behind the scenes in brand PR and leadership communication.
