Private speaking & PR coachingPrivate coaching for leaders at the top
The more senior you get, the higher the stakes every time you stand up to speak. The all hands. The investor update. The keynote your team expects you to nail. One private 90 minute session a month, where we build the method to command any room, on demand. No group to perform in front of. Just you and me.
In person in Newcastle or Sydney, or on Zoom · Wherever suits you
You are not bad at this. You are undertrained.
You have led teams, closed deals, and made calls most people never could. One on one, you are sharp and persuasive.
Then something tightens the moment you are on the stage or the panel. More eyes, more pressure, less room to be average. So watching someone less qualified own that keynote, that panel seat or that media grab stings.
Here is something nobody says out loud in the boardroom. A lot of leaders at the top quietly white knuckle their way through this. The skill you are missing is not confidence. It is a method for commanding a room on demand.
No matter how big the audience or how high the stakes. That is exactly what we build together.
Six months. One focused session a month. Three things we fix together.
This is public speaking and presence coaching for leaders, 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.
Composure when the stakes climb
- 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 spent years training senior leaders, executives and government chiefs to own the stage and handle the toughest interviews, without faking a thing. She 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.

Let's make sure we are a fit.
This is for you if
- You speak as part of a senior role, or you are about 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.
"By chance I heard about Jaimie's public speaking course and thought I'd give it a go. She gave insights to deliver the best presentation I could. I have now given numerous media interviews and public talks with confidence and ease. I highly recommend it."
"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."
"Jaimie Abbott's media skills, contacts and networking are outstanding. In addition to her acumen, Jaimie is also an engaging MC and passionate public speaker."
