HI, I'M HARRIET !
I’m a British-born public speaking and communication specialist based in Paris, helping non-native professionals and graduates communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact in front of anglophone audiences.
From a young age, I trained in elocution, speech, and drama, and have over a decade of experience designing and delivering training programmes for international teams, including supporting technical skilling initiatives for global clients at Microsoft France.
Since moving to France in 2020, Harriet has helped professionals overcome xenoglossophobia, the fear of speaking a foreign language in public -through coaching, training, speech refinement, and presentation preparation, ensuring every message is clear, confident, and authentic.
As an ICF-accredited coach and corporate trainer, I’m dedicated to helping professionals and graduates communicate confidently and persuasively for high-stakes international speaking engagements.
