Susie Ashfield

Susie has a voice that’s been used to sell potatoes, mortgages, chocolate, Pre Raphaelite art and Channing Tatum, so she understands what it takes to have vocal power that gets clients listening. Her training as a professional actor combined with her years in the city as an insurance broker mean that she is used to dealing with financial content and transforming it into energetic, deal making conversations. Starting out as a graduate in a financial firm, she quickly realised that communication was key to a successful start in any corporate career, and that being able to express an idea was the first step towards innovation and creativity.

Her style of training is designed to give a greater understanding of communication through tone, structure and delivery. Her dynamic sessions produce dramatic differences in presentation skills, personal impact, interviews, negotiations, team building and leadership, which has allowed her clients to achieve significant improvements in self-expression, audience engagement and influential ability in high pressure business environments. Susie is a highly experienced presence and presentation facilitator. Her work as a voice coach and performance trainer means her style has a significant focus on vocal impact and non verbal communication, and she has trained individuals and groups within NATO, Unilever, John Lewis, Sky Sports, Haringey Council, RBS, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and Lloyds of London. Her background as a professional actor combined with her acute understanding of the financial services industry means that her approach is continually informed by years of research as well as ongoing study into human development and change.
