Hi, I’m Margo

A speaker coach with a background in theatre, who helps you find true and lasting connection with your body, voice and story. 

I support you to stand with ease and confidence in front of any audience. 

Confidence comes from the willingness to be present with your intention rather than its outcome.

Some ways I can help you

Singular or ongoing trainings in presence, voice, posture and storytelling – all highly experiential and exercise based.

LECTURES

Talks on specific topics related to public speaking or performance presence, often followed by a Q&A.

1:1 COACHING

Tailored and intimate support for your specific narrative or presence development needs. Singular session or trajectory.

ARTIST SUPPORT

Direction, dramaturgy or performance coaching for artists or companies to refine their creativity and stage works.

Welcome

As a performer and theatre director,
I trained to maintain my authenticity in any setting.

This is vital when it comes to delivering a message that resonates.
When I began my career as a speaker coach in the corporate context, I realised that much like its field, many of the methods for public speaking felt outdated and generic.

I am here to remind you that speaking is not about using the voice you imagine is right, but the voice that already lives within you and wants to be heard.

When it comes to blockages and aspirations, every client is unique. Using my extensive experience in a range of fields - performance, therapeutic work and leadership coaching – I create a personalised method that suits my client within and beyond their context.
We work in a space that is safe in order to gently push beyond self imposed limitations. 

TESTIMONIALS

"Each client presents a map all their own, and it’s my task to simultaneously follow and guide the dotted line.”

  • LULU SKANTZE -- Creative Director of Storytime Magazine

    "Margo is insightful and personable, which gave me great confidence as a starter. I did not want formulaic tips, I wanted to find my own voice and a style that felt true to who I am. Margo’s background in acting meant she helped me with basic hurdles like confidence and stage fright, and gestures and quirks I was not aware of. She taps into strong points rather than changing you, whilst gracefully addressing anything that might be holding you back. I discovered how to deliver my stories in the most authentic, entertaining and meaningful way."

  • JAKOB EICHHORN -- Founder of Sichtbar Webdesign

    "Margo makes you feel at ease and welcome from the first second you meet her. I felt truly supported by her and was surprised by what I was able to produce on stage. Working with her is incredibly fun and, at the right moments, challenging. Margo is an absolute expert, yet is able to translate her knowledge into words that anyone can understand."

  • JULIAN RAUSMUELLER -- Executive Director of Maany

    "Working with Margo was an absolute pleasure. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about improving your performance. Margo’s straightforward feedback and supportive coaching style significantly enhanced my stage presence and presentation skills. Her dedication and warm approach make her an outstanding coach. Highly recommend working with her!"

  • TARRYN PAUL -- Executive producer at Casual Films

    "Margo has a gentle, holistic, and encouraging approach. She gives honest feedback, but never in a way that makes one feel discouraged. Margo helped me to harness my speaking skills, slow them down, and gave me new confidence. I highly recommend working with her if you'd like to improve your presence and presentation skills."
