One-on-One Services

• India as a business destination. Are you considering launching or expanding into India? Based on almost a decade a journalist there reporting widely on small business, creative industries, retail and luxury, I am well-placed to provide informed and impartial advice and opinion on market gaps and realities. Zoom or in-person, Sydney/Canberra, $200 per hour.

• Professional freelance mentoring and advice. As a long-term freelance journalist, I provide advice and guidance to those seeking to gain more knowledge and information on the practicalities of freelancing. Zoom, $100 per hour.

• Presentation, public speaking and media appearances mentoring and training. Often individuals find themselves with the need for some targeted training and advice ahead of specific public speaking events, or media appearances. I provide one-on-one help and support: combatting nerves, vocal strength and exercises, how to parse your message so it cuts through and dealing with tricky questions. Zoom, $100 per hour.

I offer media training sessions via Zoom on a pro bono basis to members of marginalised communities, the purpose being to develop spokespeople who can effectively advocate for their group’s needs. Spots are limited, please get in touch to discuss more.
