Who am I? My name is Shirley Kay. I'm an author of a best selling book on public speaking. I'm also a coach and a trainer. I run public speaking events for the public in the UK. And I also run corporate training, and I coach individuals one to one, whether those are business people, people like lawyers, bankers, or people who are self employed and want to improve their speaking skills so that they can improve their business and gain more clients and be more successful.
I do some professional speaking. And on top of that, I am a professional singer. So I've traveled through most of the continents of the world, singing and entertaining over the last few years. years ago, I qualified as a teacher at Oxford University and I have my PGC and I also have a degree in natural sciences. I lived in the states for a number of years, although I was born Here in the UK, I lived in the USA for seven years. And I love to travel.
And I think that impromptu speaking skills are massively useful. Personally, I'm a bit of an introvert. And there was once a time where I thought, I don't think I'll ever get this impromptu speaking thing down pat. But impromptu speaking skills can be learned. It's not something that you have to be born with a gift to do well at, you can keep practicing. And I promise you that practice will make you better and better and more and more competent.
Now, I love teaching, and I also love getting to know my students. And so please do communicate with me. Get in touch, drop me an email, leave me a message and I'll be sure to get back in touch with you.
