This course is full of easy-to-apply advice, whether you’re a shy scientist, an early entrepreneur, or a senior leader who wants to become more visible but just can’t risk getting the comms wrong.

Visibility means opportunities, funding, and growth.

Thought leadership raises your profile, builds your reputation, and brings people to your door.

A framework for communication helps you decide what to say, how to say it, and keeps your message succinct.

Practical skills in LinkedIn and writing for marketing give you confidence in using the right tools and techniques.

This communications course is for

Startups, founders and C-Suite leadership teams who want to communicate effectively and authentically.

B2B professionals who see the value of enhancing your personal brand (even if you’re averse to the term itself!)

People running incubator, accelerator or entrepreneurship programmes looking for communications skills training to help attendees become more visible online and offline.

  • A communications genius!

    Sue has this incredible knack of untangling the complexity of the many communications channels, strategies and tactics we all need to master now.

    She brings clarity. This means she not only guides you to a clear strategy and execution plan, but educates you in the process so you understand the reasoning, techniques and potential traps. And she's just so human and helpful too. Couldn't be more different from all the BS so many spout on the topic.
