Hello
Most people think communication is about finding the right words. It isn’t.
It’s about what happens in the moment—when you need to respond, explain, lead, or connect, and something doesn’t quite land.
You know what you want to say. But it comes out slightly off.
Too much. Too little. Too late.
And the moment moves on.
Not dramatically.
Just enough to miss clarity.
Just enough to weaken understanding.
This happens in meetings.
In conversations.
In decisions that matter more than they seem.
Not because people lack knowledge.
But because, in the moment, clarity, confidence, and presence don’t quite align.
That’s where everything shifts.
Because communication isn’t just about language.
It’s about how you think, how you show up, and how meaning is created between people.
→ If that feels familiar, you’re in the right place.
My Story
I began my career in the UK pharmaceutical industry, working across training, market research, product management, and commercial strategy.
Over nearly 20 years, I worked across multiple functions—developing training programmes, managing teams, and supporting large field forces in a highly regulated, performance-driven environment.
This gave me a deep understanding of how organisations operate from the inside—how decisions are made, how teams function, and where things don’t always work as intended.
I later moved to Japan and founded The Talk2 Group.
Over the past two decades, I’ve built my own consultancy, working with global leaders across healthcare, high fashion, automotive, IT, finance, and education.
My work has taken me into boardrooms, training rooms, and one-to-one coaching—supporting professionals at all levels, from senior executives to clinicians.
Alongside this, I’ve developed my own methodology, Soft Power Communication, and applied it not only in organisations, but through my own ventures—including a private dining and afternoon tea experience in Gunma, Flossie & Fern, and through my published writing.
These experiences continue to shape how I think about communication, leadership, and human connection.

I tend to follow curiosity more than plans—so if something here sparks an idea, let’s connect.
