Case Study
Genomics England: Confidence That Commands the Room
Genomics England’s team regularly presents to audiences of hundreds. In rooms that size, attention is won or lost in the opening seconds, and Anna wanted every one of them to be able to make a powerful point before that window closed. They came to LSW to sharpen exactly that.
The Challenge
For Anna’s team at Genomics England, communication is a high-stakes, high-volume affair. They present to groups of hundreds, where, as Anna puts it, “there’s often only a few seconds to convey your point before somebody loses their attention.” The margin is small and the audience is large.
The goal was clear and shared: to help every member of the team make genuinely powerful points in those precious few seconds, and to pitch their message just right for the room in front of them.
The Solution
What drew the team to LSW was the promise of a course built around them. “We chose London Speech Workshop because they were able to tailor the course in a way to meet all of the needs of different people.” One team, many individuals, a single programme shaped to fit each of them.
It delivered on more than the brief. Alongside the communication work, the course became a genuine team-building experience, enjoyable in its own right, and the two things reinforced each other: a team that grows in confidence together tends to lead together too.

The Result
The proof came almost immediately. Straight after the course, Genomics England held a large conference, and the difference was visible. Many of the team found the confidence to lead sessions and run demonstrations, and the feedback that followed was striking.
Anna saw exactly why it mattered. “Having somebody stand up there confidently, and be able to present exactly what they wanted to say very clearly, really makes a big difference to how seriously people take what you’re saying.” Clarity and confidence, it turns out, aren’t just about being heard. They’re about being believed.
