Karen Louise Floyd

My lessons are practical, interactive and tailored to the individual. I don’t believe in teaching public speaking from a rigid script or formula. Instead, I help each student understand how they communicate naturally, build confidence in their own voice, and develop techniques that make them clearer, more engaging and more persuasive.

Depending on your goals, sessions can include presentation structure, storytelling, speaking with confidence, managing nerves, vocal delivery, body language, interview preparation, persuasive communication and handling questions. We can work on a real presentation or speech you have coming up, or use exercises and practice scenarios to build your skills gradually.

My style is supportive but honest. I will encourage you, challenge you when needed, and give you practical feedback you can use immediately. Lessons are active: we talk, practise, reflect, adjust and practise again.

I bring more than 25 years of international experience in communication, leadership, PR, coaching and public speaking. I have worked with an unusually wide range of people, from children and teenagers developing confidence and communication skills to university students, professionals, senior leaders and CEOs of global companies.

That experience has taught me that great communication is not about sounding perfect. It is about being understood, connecting with your audience and having the confidence to express what you really want to say.

Whether you are preparing for a school presentation, university interview, important speech, job interview or professional presentation, I will meet you at your level and help you become a more confident and effective communicator.
