Private speaking & PR coachingPrivate coaching with Jaimie Abbott
One private 90 minute session a month with Jaimie Abbott. A clear system for your nerves, your structure and your delivery, so you speak with calm authority on stage, in the boardroom and on camera.
In person in Newcastle or Sydney, or on Zoom 路 Wherever suits you

You are not bad at speaking. You are undertrained.
You are good at what you do. You have the experience, the results, and a message worth hearing.
So watching someone less qualified take the keynote, the panel seat or the media grab stings. So does the moment right before you speak, when your heart races and your mind goes blank.
Here is the part nobody told you. Speaking well is not a personality trait. It is a skill and a strategy, and skills can be trained.
You have been winging it, over preparing, or quietly avoiding the rooms that would grow your name. That stops here.


Six months. One focused session a month. Three things we fix together.
This is public speaking and PR coaching, and nothing else. Here is what you walk away with.
Presentation skills
- A repeatable framework for structuring any talk, from a five minute intro to a keynote.
- Openings that land and closings people actually remember.
- Slides and notes that support you, instead of running the show.
Managing nerves and fears
- A method to settle your nerves in the 60 seconds before you speak.
- Practical tools for the shaky voice, the racing heart and the blank mind.
- A calmer relationship with pressure, so big rooms start to feel small.
Presenting with purpose
- A clear signature message you can deliver in any setting.
- Confident delivery on camera and in media interviews.
- Presence that reads as authority, on stage and in the boardroom.

Jaimie has been on every side of the microphone.
Jaimie Abbott has reported the news as a journalist, faced it as a politician, briefed it as a United Nations media spokesperson, and led under pressure as a military officer. Jaimie holds an MBA and more than 20 years of leadership experience.
Jaimie has trained hundreds of professionals across government, business and media to speak with clarity and calm. Jaimie knows the pressure you feel, because she has stood in it.
Now, with a small group of private clients, Jaimie does one thing. Jaimie backs you until you back yourself.
Private coaching, built around you.
Premium 1:1 support, with room for only a handful of clients at a time.
In person at The Newcastle Club or The Pillars in Sydney, or on Zoom. Your choice each month.
- One 90 minute private 1:1 session each month, in person in Newcastle or Sydney, or on Zoom.
Let's make sure we are a fit.
This is for you if
- You speak as part of your role, or you want to, and you are ready to put in the reps.
- You have a real reason to be heard and a message that matters.
- You want premium, focused support, not another big group program.
This is not for you if
- You want a quick fix or a confidence pill. We are building a skill, not faking one.
- You are not willing to practise between sessions.
- You have no speaking need yet, and nowhere to put this to work.

What clients say.
Real words from people Jaimie has trained, on stage and in the media.

"Jaimie performed superbly as my chief of media training in Kabul. She trained dozens of senior generals, admirals and government executives to handle tough interviews. If you need an expert to prepare your most senior leaders to meet the press, Jaimie is the person for the job."
