Our three key values drive everything that we do.

Founder Story

Emma’s whole working life has been suffused with her passion for communication; with interaction between people and the power of human connection. Emma trained and worked in film and theatre, both as an actor and award-winning director. This initial exposure to the profound impact of communication led her to found London Speech Workshop in 2008, after she realised the need for high-quality, human-centred communication training. Emma went on to work in the field of criminal justice, driven to support disenfranchised ex offenders to find their voice and path within society. Later, when the method itself had traction, Emma saw the opportunity to use her experience, combined with further academic study in psychology, psychotherapy and Life-Coaching, to transform the Communications Training industry bringing the much needed values of kindness, authenticity and empowerment to the space. This is when Emma developed The Serlin Method™, combining her deep understanding of performance, psychology and coaching.

Looking to share her experience and understanding with as many people as possible, Emma has written two books on communication, and frequently appears on TV and radio, and in the press.

 

“There is nothing that matches the feeling of seeing the difference we make in people’s lives, supporting people to be kind, authentic and genuinely charged up with their own potential, their power.  We truly do change people’s lives for the better and having the power to do that, with kindness and authenticity, is a true privilege”

The history of London Speech Workshop

2001 - 2008: The Groundwork

Emma’s work in Film and Theatre, her training in psychology and coaching all built to create the foundations for what would become LSW.

2008: It Begins.

On a fairly rainy day in November, Emma, just Emma, started delivering speech and elocution training from an office in Kentish Town, London.

2010: Getting Going

Things really started to happen in 2010, when LSW supported the Korean Winter Olympic Pitch Team.  Remember this mind-blowing light at the Pyeongchang closing ceremony? You’re welcome.

2011: Next Steps

The next stage of LSW’s growth was a match made in not heaven, but Westminster Abbey. Our double page spread in The Times brought us new clients with new challenges, and our Effective Communication course was launched.
