Dr Sarah: Executive Eloquence Specialist
PhD (Opera), MMus, MSPath, Cert. Practicing Speech & Language Pathologist
The Prognostic Power of my Work
As a trained speech pathologist, opera singer and medical founder, I know the many barriers to high-performance communication.
In opera, the expectation is that you step on stage and complete a perfect vocal performance despite nerves, so I’ve done a lot of heavy lifting there.
Then speech pathology gives me the science-backed clinical tools to analyse how communication works and structure viable speaking goals for my clients so they stick and they can finally communicate with unwavering confidence and skill.
Diagnostics create valid outcomes.
My communication calibration system is rigorously grounded in voice science, opera performance training, and robust executive communication research evidence. And I want to share that with you. No matter where you are. So that your know where you stand and have a proven plan to excel at your professional communication.
You already have the skill, perspective, and vision.
But it takes a discerning eye and clinical insight to spot the leaks, triggers and gaps in your speaking system.
The first step is not a generic coaching program. Nor is it a vague sales driven curiosity call. The first step is the Executive Communication Profile Appointment which enables you to establish personalised baselines through a robust evidence-based process.

Confident Public Speaking / Media Appearance strategies - audiences rate themselves as more intelligent and capable when a presentation is given by a charismatic moderator (Ning, 2019). Gesture, facial expressions, voice tone & self-regulation strategies when faced with nerves directly predict how successful your presentation will be.
1
Speech CADENCE
The pace of your speech (the flow and clarity) will directly correlate to how competent and persuasive people find you (Seno, 2013).
2
Vocal Expression
Poor speakers are rated as such due to monotone, hesitant and insecure messages (Strangery & Gustafson, 2008). Vocal expression increases charisma (Niehbuhr).
3
Voice Clarity
Voice tone alters "social impressions of speakers." Your listeners evaluate your interpersonal relevance based on how you sound (Caballero, 2021).
4
Precise & Concise speaking
Logical flow under pressure is the most important predictor of leadership success (de Vries et al., 2010).
5
Storytelling, metaphors & rhetoric
Increase charisma (Antonakis) and will directly correlate to sales, venture pitching as well as trust and credibility. Charismatic communicators outdo others in gaining and retaining management positions (Davis et al. 2017).
6
Word finding & vocabulary strategies
Weak words reduce leadership impact (Schwartzberg, 2021). More than 8 fillers per minute will be a problem for your credibility & charisma (Niehbuhr & Fische, 2019).
Set the Right Goals for your Professional Communication to protect your uniquely curated Reputation, Career or Business and deliver as the Authority. Talk with Confidence, Organise your thoughts and Express yourself Clearly with robust mechanisms that get real outcomes for your speaking.

Authority, Signalled
Authority travels through distinct channels that are nothing to do with confidence, and everything to do with an integrated executive speaking system.
Start with The Executive Communication Profile Appointment and learn where your speaking is leaking authority.
I help executives, founders, academics, specialists and public facing professionals refine their voice, message and presence so their expertise carries more authority in high-stakes rooms.
Think about a communicator you trust and admire. Even though it can seem that they have the best ideas, there is no difference between the quality of their intellect and what you have to offer. They simply use speaking techniques that make their expertise and message stand out.
