 Kathy Stewart  

 

Training Director

Kathy’s inspiration developed during her early training to become a Speech and Drama Teacher – she was fortunate enough to be a student of the late Katherine Blowen – an outstanding teacher and published poet. Katherine’s knowledge of the voice, language and the art of expression was second to none. Kathy too, became fascinated with the voice and the impact it can have on the hearts and minds of the audience. She learned from Katherine how and why the voice connects the speaker with the audience.

 

 Kathy's Experience  

 

Kathy has over twenty five years of experience in the creation, development and delivery of interactive programs and workshops in voice coaching, public speaking, presentation skills and performing arts subjects that aim to develop confident, expressive and effective speech.

She has trained literally thousands of people to develop their best in all facets of communication. She shares this with you not to impress, but to tell you as a teacher she has learnt from teaching them. She says that she “will never stop learning”. Her experience was developed in both the private and public education sectors, as well as non-profit performing arts organisations and retail management.
