Words that Change Lives

Would you like to improve your ability to connect with others in a world where mutual understanding appears to be declining?

Join Helen Packham, Verbal communications strategist and speaker coach, to explore how we can speak more honestly, talk more authentically, and communicate more effectively to motivate, educate and inspire.

This podcast is for leaders, coaches, consultants and small business owners who want to increase the impact of their communication from 1-2-1 conversations to thousands online and in person. No matter how big or small the audience, tune in to learn how the words you use can make a massive impact.

Whether you want to stand on the TEDx stage, pitch an idea, influence a group of people, resolve conflict or inspire action in others, there’s something for you in this podcast.

In weekly episodes, Helen will be sharing her wisdom, insight and approaches, as well as speaking to top experts in the field of verbal communication to help you express to impress.

Helen has built her career on helping leaders, coaches, and consultants 10x the impact of their communication to engage, educate and inspire their audiences. She has 15 years of experience in leadership development and communication and 8 years in entrepreneurship. A TEDx curator and speaker, Helen passes on the powerful tool of storytelling to her clients so that they can confidently present and speak with impact. Living on the sunny south coast with her two kids, she loves beach time, downs walks and Djing house and drum and bass music.

Helen truly believes that we can all harness the power of our words to change lives, for the better.
