What to Expect in Your Coaching Session
During your coaching session, we will clarify your specific goals and current challenges while exploring any related areas that may impact your progress. You will receive targeted techniques and practical strategies tailored to overcome these challenges, with clear explanations of how and why they work.
You’ll also gain expert advice and guidance to help you fully understand the topic and develop an actionable plan to apply your new skills immediately.
Depending on your needs, a single session may be sufficient. However, I will recommend additional sessions if ongoing support will help you stay on track and successfully integrate your improved communication and behavioural skills.
About Sophie
Sophie works with leaders in government and major industry players, including Woodside, Rio Tinto, and Alcoa. She has been featured across a wide range of media platforms, including ABC Radio, The West Australian, The CEO Magazine, Seven News, and Foxtel Networks.
She has coached public speakers and TEDx presenters to deliver their messages with powerful impact. Sophie also collaborated with TED-Ed to create the animated lesson–Are There Universal Expressions of Emotion?.
Her blog has consistently ranked among the top five body language blogs on the web since 2020.
“I have partnered with Sophie to coach high performing executives in the art of presentation and body language. Her knowledge of her subject matter is excellent. She has the research to support her findings and can offer advice in a positive, constructive manner. For most individuals in an executive role, the secrets of body language are empowering and exciting. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to boost their interpersonal skills.”
“Sophie is a brilliant speaker coach and all round advisor for improving your ability to communicate effectively. I was lucky enough to be appointed Sophie to help me with my TEDx talk in 2018 and I honestly feel it wouldn’t have been as impactful and well received if it wasn’t for her guidance and advice. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone considering her services!”
“Sophie has been absolutely amazing coach, who showed patience, style and firmness. She was able to guide me through the very involved process of writing and delivering a TED talk. I am very thankful for all the advice, techniques and understanding that I received from the very first time we met to the very last minute before going on stage. I could not recommend Sophie more as a speaking coach, especially for women who want to progress further in their public speaking and presentations.”
More Information
Many people are unaware of their nonverbal behaviour and the unconscious signals they send to others. When these signals are negative or misleading, they can affect how others perceive and respond to them.
This can have a significant impact on various aspects of life, including job interviews, career advancement, sales success, relationships, and public speaking.
My coaching sessions help clients become aware of the nonverbal signals they project, empowering them to take control of how they are perceived. This awareness supports personal and professional growth, opening doors to new opportunities and improved interactions.
Public Speaking and Presentation Skills Coaching
Gain confidence and mastery in public speaking and presentations. Whether you’re preparing for a keynote, business pitch, or everyday presentations, my coaching helps you communicate with clarity, impact, and authenticity.
You’ll learn how to engage your audience effectively, manage nerves, and use your body language and voice to enhance your message. With personalised feedback and practical techniques, you’ll deliver presentations that captivate, persuade, and inspire.
Interview Preparation and Success Strategies coaching
Prepare confidently and perform at your best in job interviews with tailored coaching designed to sharpen your communication and presentation skills.
I help you understand how to make a positive impression from the moment you walk in, through mastering verbal and nonverbal communication, articulating your strengths clearly, and handling challenging questions. You’ll also learn stress management techniques to stay calm and focused.
With practical tips and personalised guidance, you’ll boost your confidence, increase your likability, and improve your chances of landing the job you want.
Self-empowerment and Emotional Wellbeing Coaching
Build confidence and gain control over stress, anxiety, and emotions.
For many, overwhelming stress, anxiety, and low confidence can negatively affect life quality. At best, emotions and experiences feel diminished; at worst, important activities and opportunities are avoided altogether.
My coaching sessions help you regain control over your emotions by harnessing the power of your body, voice, and facial expressions. You’ll learn practical techniques to manage negative emotions and cultivate inner positivity, confidence, and emotional grounding.
“I for one am now experiencing new levels of confidence, courage and impact that has up-leveled my life far beyond my expectations. Thank you, Sophie!”
Love and Dating Communication Skills Coaching
Develop a deeper understanding of your potential partner’s behavior by learning to read their nonverbal cues and emotional signals. At the same time, gain awareness of the signals you yourself are sending, ensuring your body language and communication align with your intentions.
This coaching helps you navigate the complexities of romantic interactions by recognizing what others may really be feeling and thinking, beyond their words. You’ll learn to communicate more authentically, adjust your own nonverbal behaviours for better connection, and respond appropriately to build trust and attraction.
With greater insight into both your own and your partner’s signals, you can create more meaningful, confident, and successful dating experiences.
Body Language Basics for Effective Communication Coaching
Master the fundamental principles of body language to enhance your communication in both professional and personal settings. This coaching helps you understand the nonverbal signals others are sending, so you can interpret their true feelings and intentions more accurately.
At the same time, you’ll learn how to consciously send positive and clear signals through your own body language to improve how others perceive you. Whether in the workplace or in social situations, these foundational skills boost your confidence, strengthen relationships, and increase your overall communication impact.
Advanced Body Language Reading and Interpretation Coaching
Enhance your understanding of others, detect deception, and boost emotional intelligence and empathy.
Many people struggle with effective communication because they misinterpret nonverbal cues. This challenge is common for those who don’t naturally pick up on body language and emotional signals, leading to confusion when verbal and nonverbal messages don’t align.
The good news is that reading body language and expressions is a skill that can be learned and improved. Whether you lack natural intuition or want to strengthen your existing abilities, my coaching sessions will help you develop reliable techniques to interpret nonverbal signals accurately.
By mastering body language reading, you gain a communication advantage—enabling you to respond more effectively, foster better interactions, and build stronger personal and professional relationships

“You will need Sophie on your side if you are making a presentation or doing a talk or a speech. I did my first ever BIG talk on a TedXPerth platform and it was possible primarily due to Sophie. She was very calm, patient, thoughtful, insightful, forgiving and motivating. Super professional and a super human to connect with.”
“Sophie is so wonderful to work with. She is proactive and detailed oriented, and managed the TEDxPerth speaker process expertly. For each stage of the process her gauge of the situation was spot on and I readily leaned on her for advice. I would highly recommend good humoured and responsive Sophie for coaching or training.”
