“After two decades in the spotlight, I wanted to create something that helps others feel ready when their moment comes.”

Here is where I carefully try not to toot my own horn whilst still giving you the confidence I know what I’m talking about.

For more than 25 years, I have communicated for a living. On comedy stages, in packed festival venues, across meeting-room tables and inside the boardrooms of multimillion-pound organisations.

My touring stand-up show, ‘Around The World in 80 Dates’, sold-out at the Edinburgh, Adelaide and Perth Fringe festivals, as well as the New Zealand Comedy Festival and venues across Scotland, England, China, Vietnam and beyond.

I also created and performed a chaotic family comedy show called Balloonatics, which delighted thousands of children and parents around the world.

Alongside my entertainment career, I worked across business development, recruitment, digital transformation and consultancy. I helped shape and deliver pitches and presentations for senior decision-makers in multimillion-pound organisations, both in person and online.

Why CHC Exists

People become more connected when they have the confidence and skills to express themselves clearly.

I have spent most of my life talking to people for a living, and if I compared the mistakes I have made in front of audiences to the number of stars in the sky, it would be even. After years of working across entertainment, public speaking and business, I began looking more closely at what helps people communicate well, and what holds them back.

That work became the four foundations at the heart of CHC: managing your nervous system, developing self-awareness, preparing with purpose, and adapting when the moment changes.

CHC combines my experience in entertainment and business communication with applied psychology and real-world coaching. The aim is simple: to help people Find their voice, Trust it under pressure, and Enjoy using it.

The courses and coaching are designed for people who feel fear, self-doubt or overthinking have held them back. CHC gives them a safe place to understand those barriers, build skills they can rely on and discover that public speaking can become something they enjoy.

CHC Philosophy

“Confidence is a byproduct of realising mistakes are survivable”

CHC won’t make you perfect. It will help you make fewer mistakes, recover from them faster, and keep moving forward.
