27/04/2011 - DO YOU WANT THAT PROMOTION? IF SO, READ ON!
To put it simply, Jools Montague-King helped me find my true voice, and gave me the confidence to use it.
As an executive in a Fortune 100 company, I was aften asked to present, lead teams, speak in public, and engage in media interviews. Although I was heavily media trained and wasn't afraid of speaking in front of people, I didn't feel I was convincing in my delivery, or used my voice effectively...this is where Jools helped me tremendously.
Jools used simple and effective tools to guide me, but what I found more useful was the way she got me to trust her and allow my 'true' voice and character to emerge.
After my coaching with Jools I went on to become Managing Director of PayPal Australia, and now I am the Regional Director of Product for PayPal across the Asia-Pacific region. I am in no doubt my career developed as I found confidence in my voice.
People ask me today how I present and conduct myself with authority in presentations and interviews. My answer is always cryptically the same (and said with a smirk),
"Jools Montague-King"

19/04/2011 - WHAT ARE LAMDA EXAMS? ARE THEY FOR YOU?
LAMDA stands for London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and is the name for the examining body known all over the world. It is the UK’s largest statutory speech and drama awarding body that has a reputation for excellence.
The exams can be taken by anyone of any age from 5 upwards. There are many graded exams in a number of areas including Public speaking, Reading for Performance, Speaking Verse and Prose, Solo/Duo Acting, Mime and Improvisation. The exams are designed to equip individuals with a range of skills that can be applied to all areas of life.
Did you know you can get LAMDA UCAS points?
The LAMDA Advanced Graded Speech and Drama exams are included in the UCAS point system, so it is possible to gain valuable points depending on the grade you take and the pass mark you get. uCAS points start at grade 6.
Now children can have fun, increase their confidence, self-esteem and communication skills and gain UCAS points.
I am currently looking to offer LAMDA classes for groups of children/adults in their own home. If you are an individual or a group of people who would be interested in tuition like this get in contact to discuss things further.
