London Speech Workshop Reviews 

I took a five week course with Ali Tennant-Price and cannot recommend it highly enough. Ali and I worked through a number of techniques to improve my public speaking ahead of a conference keynote. I learned ways of connecting with listeners, telling stories, using embodied gestures, and generally becoming a clearer communicator, and I couldn't thank Ali enough. Our sessions were so rewarding, empowering, and renewed my commitment to making public speaking a central part of my professional practice. Thank you Ali!

Lola was a fantastic coach which always showed up with enthusiasm and genuinely showed wanted to help me improve. I’ve come away from this course a much better communicator.

Catherine was a wonderful coach, whose enthusiasm made the sessions thoroughly enjoyable and engaging. Her warmth and ability to give constructive feedback whilst being your cheerleader was highly impressive. Thank you Catherine! I have finished the sessions feeling more confident, and knowing my strengths and areas to improve clearly.

My coach Sam is very patient in helping me which improved my speech sustainably.

I took a Powerful Storytelling course with Christine Prouty and I learned invaluable lessons about communication and speaking with confidence. I’ve been applying the techniques learned in my day-to-day work, and I feel much more confident expressing my ideas, asking questions, and providing feedback on the projects I’m involved in.

The key lessons I’ve taken away from our 5 sessions are:
- Keywords have superpowers
- Eye contact is important, but it shouldn’t be exaggerated (again, sync it with keywords!)
- Pauses and emphasis on keywords change vocal landscape completely

Thank you so much, Christine!

I signed up to a multi-session programme and had the pleasure of working with Adam (a senior coach) and Gilly (principal coach). Their expertise and passion for their work shone through at the first 30seconds.

Every second of every session was used to achieve the goals set out during the Taster session.

Also, the accompanying course manual and the complementary audio files are PRICELESS. They are packed with practical, easy to follow information/instructions.

On the administration side, everything is very transparent and they are very quick to get back to you.

I found the course worth every penny, and grateful to the team to make art of language/communication available to all.

When Emmy and I first met, I had no idea how far she would take me in such short amount of time. Her way of coaching is not only incredible and inspiring, but also very warm, creating an insanely comfortable environment that lets you be yourself.

After only a few sessions, Emmy helped me become a calmer, more professional version of myself - one that no longer stands in my own way and can truly show the audience an authentic, engaging version of who I am.

So, if you’re just as nervous about talking in front of an audience as I once was (though not so much anymore), I can only recommend booking in with Emmy. You will not regret it!

Thank you so much, Emmy, for the wisdom and skills you’ve shared with me - I am beyond grateful!

Professional team is great, has helped me become more confident, speak clearly and gain trust from the audience

Working with Lola Rutherford through her Essential 5 Session Effective Communication course was an incredibly valuable experience.

My goal was to become more confident and intentional in how I communicate at work — especially in high-stakes situations. Before starting, I wasn’t fully aware of how my communication style was perceived by others.

Through a mix of practical tools, video feedback, and thoughtful discussions, Lola helped me gain real insight into my style and unlock areas of untapped potential. I particularly appreciated how tailored the sessions felt — it went far beyond generic tips and became a personalised journey.

I now feel more self-aware and confident to engage others effectively. I highly recommend Lola to anyone looking to elevate their communication with authenticity and impact.

I had a great experience with LSW. The thing that surprised me the most is how quickly and effectively you can integrate their techniques

Review for Ali at London Speech Workshop

Working with Ali has been a truly transformative experience. I took on a bespoke course tailored specifically to my needs, with a focus on enhancing my communication in senior-level presentations and meetings. From the very first session, Ali brought a thoughtful, insightful, and highly practical approach that made a massive difference—not just in how I communicate, but in how I think about communication.

She helped me understand the nuances of presence, clarity, and delivery, all while respecting and building on my natural style. Her guidance completely shifted my perspective and gave me a new level of confidence and control in professional settings. This experience has fundamentally changed the way I approach speaking and presenting.

I can’t recommend Ali and the London Speech Workshop highly enough.

Working with the team at LSW is a masterclass in excellence. Jamie, in particular, is not only a communication genius with impeccable work ethic, but also a phenomenal teacher who will guide you through the art and science of refining your speech. I couldn’t be more impressed or grateful.

Fantastic course. Every session was structured well and felt the right pace. Catherine is a brilliant coach who really brought the exercises to life and made the training both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Lola is incredible. My first time working with her involved working on a pitch for my startup. It was so transformative that I immediately knew I had to work with her again. Lola has a rare ability to uncover your true strengths and reflect them back in a way that makes you feel powerful. With her guidance, I tapped into a newer confidence, so much so that I ended up shifting the trajectory of my career. I’ll always be deeply grateful. If you’re looking for someone who can help you reach your goals and then some, Lola’s the one!

I am enthusiastic to share that I successfully completed “Effective Communication Course” taught by Principal coach Becky Hayman at LSW.
She carefully trained and coached me fo improve my communication and presentation skills to pitch more effectively, win roles and deals more regularly,and share more ideas with clarity and impact. I am able to apply my learnings in my day to day tasks that is a game changer for me.

If you want to improve your communication and presentation skills, I would highly recommend to connect with Becky

Working with Lola was brilliant. I intentionally put myself out of my comfort zone by engaging London Speech Workshop to improve my overall communication skills, specifically targeting online delivery, clear and concise articulation and increased authority.

I have made massive improvements to all of those goals and more. I am now much more confident in my delivery and have experienced tangible wins already from using the skills we worked on.

I couldn't recommend Lola more strongly. She created the perfect environment for me to learn, offered targeted feedback which was challenging where needed but always supportive and delivered far beyond the plan we created in the first session, which was designed around my goals. All of this came from just 6 sessions - I will definitely book more sessions in the future.

I started sessions with Lola Rutherford at the London Speech Workshop in order to deal with social anxiety when speaking with people/public speaking fears.
Before our sessions, I found it hard to speak and was very shy and timid but my sessions with Lola really helped me to open up. It's like I'm a new person. A much more confident version of myself. Lola taught me how to be authentic to be but dial up the features of myself that I want to exhibit.
Lola's approach is holistic and great for those who also want to build their confidence, alongside public-speaking skills. I now confidently engage in purposeful conversations with strangers and friends/family alike, and the idea of giving a presentation kind of excites me (would have never thought that it could). I have come a long way when it comes to public-speaking confidence and Lola has been integral to that-so, thank you Lola!

Working with my coach, Ali Tennant-Price, was a game-changer for improving my professional communication skills. Her sessions were fun and informative, and her coaching has helped me build confidence, speak with clarity, and communicate more effectively in the workplace. She also provided me with a myriad of practical tools and personalised support that truly made a difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their communication skills!

Ali was great! Patient and insightful, she taught me a lot over the course of our six sessions. Highly recommended. Thanks very much!

Adam Rhys-Charles is an excellent coach with a highly adaptable approach that met my varied needs. His sessions combined practical exercises, immediate and honest feedback, and space for my reflections, all of which I could apply immediately. We accomplished a great deal, even within just an hour. The short, intuitive handouts continue to be helpful long after the sessions ended
