Thoughtful speech

ABOUT

I’m a communications consultant specializing in thought leadership, storytelling and speechwriting. I have particular expertise in B2B, finance, insurance and tech.

Do you need a speech, a blog post, an op-ed, brochure text or case studies? You’re in the right place. I love turning technical, complex content into accessible, user-friendly communications.

Maybe you’re not sure what you need; I can do a strategic review of your marketing collateral and give you a plan for action, tailored to your business audience.

Do you want to improve your business storytelling or writing skills? I run workshops and individual coaching sessions for anyone who needs their communications to hook their audience in and keep them coming back for more.

Fun fact: I wrote a book presented as a gift to HM The Queen.

"Although I am an accomplished leader in my profession and business owner, I have struggled for years to effectively express the value I provide and translate my skills and abilities in a way that resonates with the people I want to make a difference with.

Her expertise was particularly evident in the creative choices of language and structure that were appropriate to my unique project. Committed to honing the essence of my story, she was also affably accommodating to my numerous change requests and clarification of specifics. I look forward to working with her again in the future."

- Jason 'Singer' Smith, Speaker, Climber, Adventurer

"Felicity and I first worked together on a book to be presented to HM The Queen by the Chairman of Lloyd’s and we were given 96 hours. With no time to spare, it was vital that Felicity could both help create and understand a working structure as well as write to a very exact word count. However, not only did she posess these qualities, she was intelligent and flexible enough to adjust her copy as the preliminary structure morphed into the real book and diplomatic enough to handle the different constituencies and their demands whilst retaining a strong single voice throughout the book. That it has been reprinted without any text changes is testament to her work. "

- Francis Atterbury, Artisan Book

It was really a very positive experience to work with Felicity!"
