Speak & Move Confidently
ETHOS – My mission is to help people to align their Body, Mind and Mindset so they better connect to others and deliver their message clearly. I do not 'polish' speakers, I help them enjoy giving presentations, pitches and talks so they feel confident, truly themselves and can grow into their own style.
HOW I WORK – Each session is tailored to the context you and your team are in, what challenges you are facing and what goals you want to achieve. With all that in mind, we devise a plan for the sessions together.
This fluid way of working allows me to deliver value and quality during the sessions so that you leave the sessions with actionable and tailored tools that you can use straight away.
The way I work relies on continuity. Our body is a wonderful tool but as soon as we start unlocking change, it takes time and practice for the new skills to set. I spread sessions and follow-ups so you have plenty of time to repeat the practice as well as embed it into your daily life.

Emma is incredibly talented and is an absolute pleasure to work with. She knows what makes an excellent pitch and works with you to build one. With Emma’s invaluable help we managed to win the prestigious Pitch@Palace competition run by HRH The Duke of York - a royal approval!

I gave a pitch at The House Of Lords and I was extremely nervous. I used the techniques we’ve done in the sessions and not only it helped me tremendously to overcome the fears but I won the competition. I am now building so much traction from the training I have done with Emma, I can not recommend her enough.
— Irra Ariela Khi. Co-founder of VChain.
Emma provided some practical advice and skill-development across several distinct, but related, projects. Her advice was crisp, relevant and practical. It made a clear impact. I would welcome the opportunity to directly recommend if asked. Will most certainly be using her services again.

We came to Emma at the start of the pandemic as we had switched our work from in person to virtual/web based and we wanted an opportunity to help the team understand how they could put their existing skills to use (and learn new ones) which would mean they could present well under these new conditions. Emma's session was really informative, fun and engaging. Most importantly it gave us a really good set of tools to use in the future. I also found Emma to be really easy to deal with from a logistics point of view and she was flexible and helpful in the preparation and post-session details.
– Michelle Carter, Deliver Operations Manager at Ninety Consulting.
Emma coached my co-founder and I for our recent fundraising round. We were okay at pitching but with Emma’s sessions, we’ve become more aware of our bad habits and were able to adjust in a way that suited us. We felt a lot more prepared and confident.
Emma also came to give a session at Poq to our leadership team. The team enjoyed it a lot and we will most likely do sessions for more people in the future.
— Michael Langguth, Co-founder and COO at Poq.
We had a strong group of speakers among our team, and wondered how all would benefit from a training if they had different baselines to begin with. It was humbling, physical, energetic, and a great bonding experience.
— Jess Davis, Studio Talent Director, EY Intuitive.
PROGRAMMES & CONFERENCES
Activating Confidence is a pitch training session
that is ideal for startup accelerators, incubators, business schools and institutions who offer programmes and conferences supporting entrepreneurs and startup growth.
I've worked with Emma, hiring her for the second time already and without a doubt, I will be going back and recommending Emma to others. Emma has provided pitching workshops to creative entrepreneurs via MeWe360 and DBACE programmes and the difference the workshops make is irrefutable to the participants' pitches. Emma is fantastic to work with, responsive to specific needs and adapts to all situations. Also highly professional, I can't recommend enough.
— Martine Stephen, Programme Manager at MeWe360.
Emma taught a class at one of our Future Leaders seminars for young architects. She was an absolute joy to work with and enthusiastically received by the participants who couldn't rate her highly enough. Her engaging teaching style and warm personality reached the audience despite the distance imposed by online delivery - which she adapted to with great flexibility at only a week's notice when lockdown hit. I highly recommend Emma and would happily work with her again.
– Gesine Kippenberg. Head of Professional Programmes at RIBA.
Emma Zangs has taught our MSc Entrepreneurship students at UCL School of Management how to stand up and pitch to an audience. She has now done this for several years and we receive consistently favourable feedback from our students. She comes with my highest personal recommendation.
— Simon Hulme. Programme Director, MSc Entrepreneurship at UCL School of Management. Business Angel.
