Naina Patel

Hello, I'm Naina.

I am a professional trainer and coach with over 25 years' experience working with international law firms, global investment banks and financial institutions. Most recently, I was a partner heading the European Structured Finance & Derivatives Practice at an international law firm. Alongside my legal career, I have designed and delivered professional training since 2016, creating practical, engaging workshops for professionals across a range of organisations.

I enjoy helping people build confidence, improve communication and develop practical skills they can apply immediately in the workplace. My sessions are interactive and tailored to each individual's objectives, learning style and professional background. Whether we are working one-to-one or in a small group, online or in person, my aim is to create a supportive environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas and developing new skills.

I can help with workplace communication, professional confidence, presentations, stakeholder communication and navigating difficult conversations. My coaching experience has also strengthened my ability to listen carefully, understand individual challenges and adapt my approach to different personalities and learning styles.

My teaching style is practical rather than theoretical. I use discussion, realistic scenarios and exercises to help turn ideas into skills that can be applied with confidence in everyday professional situations.

I look forward to supporting you in achieving your learning goals.
