About Us
Mission Statement
At London Speech Workshop it is our mission to help people live their best possible lives through learning the tools of effective communication. We hope to empower people across the world to communicate more kindly, more authentically and more effectively to improve their connections and achieve their personal and professional goals.
We know the value of this work to individuals, companies and teams and are committed to ensuring that people from all walks of life are able to benefit from our work. As such we are committed to making sure that 10% of the people we support are people who ordinarily would not be able to afford our courses, through pro-bono or subsidised workshops.
In 2022 we will focus our CSR attention on supporting refugee communities and disadvantaged young people to feel the benefits of empowered and clear communication.
As a company we are also extremely mindful of doing our bit to support our planet, and to that end add our bit to the global effort in a number of ways.
- We plant a tree for every transaction
- We work with sustainable companies who share our ethos and recycled materials whenever possible
- We offer subsidised coaching to professionals working in the area of sustainability and climate change including renewable energy.
If you would like our support or would like to collaborate with us then please get in touch with our Giving Back Chief Elise on office@londonspeechworkshop.com and we would be delighted to discuss further.
