Media and Presentation 

Standing up in front of a camera, an audience or a panel of investors, can be a terrifying experience for even the most senior or experienced professionals.

Mai does not beliefve in 'off the shelf'' training, and tailors all her training to the individuals or orgnisations concerned.    She removes fear, creates confidence, and shows participants how they can create a message and how they can deliver it convincingly and easily.  

As a political broadcaster she has a reputation as a tough and clever interviewer, so she is well placed to teach companies how the media game works, how to avoid the traps laid by interviewers.

Business Pitching

For companies looking for investment, or individuals who have to make important presentations, Mai can teach participants how to create a convincing pitch or presentation and avoid being wrong footed by tough questions.

"Mai was a mentor at Seedcamp.  Her help with out investment pitch was invaluable.  Though unflinching in her criticism, she managed to be hugely reassuring at the same time.  In short order, she pointed out what was good, what was bad, and made patient, constructive suggestions about exactly what we could do to improve things.  With her help, we ended up being one of the winners, voted people's choice, and our pitch kickstarted a whole series of conversations with investors.  We would wholeheartedly recommend her help for anyone looking to improve their delivery."

 "Mai's help with our investment pitch was invaluable.  We would wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking to improve their delivery"

Greg Detre, Memrise Ltd. 

“Mai's ability to get to the heart of the matter and then distill it into a workable solution is astonishing. Her encouragement, patience and "know-how" builds confidence and allows the personality of both the presenter and the presentation to shine through. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

Oraruth Rother, HireMatchMe.Com

  Mai trained the winner of Tech Entrepreneurs Week - a team that arrived with a very different pitch from the polished version presented on the final day to a panel of leading UK and US venture capitalists. Her work helped them create a narrative that resonated with the judges, and achieved a measurable result - an investment commitment. As an investor, I see great value in what Mai does, and would highly recommend her to entrepreneurs and their teams. 

John Grobstein, consultant for emerging technology companies
