It all starts with the Team. Our people are kind, passionate and truly brilliant, and we encourage them to bring themselves to work every single day, support each other to be brilliant and live our values in everything they do. We truly love what we have created and the good we do in the world. We hope we get the chance to show you.
We have made a commitment to reflect the good we are doing in the world, internally. We have to be a mirror to have full congruence. As such, we attract truly good people, purpose driven, kind, with grit – who are driven to make a difference. Then we push ourselves to live and breathe our values day-to-day, with colleagues, clients and everyone else.
If we don’t live these values within our organisation, we cannot drive them out through what we do for our clients, and, top to bottom, we regularly challenge ourselves on whether we are living up to these values. Values are not just a set of beliefs, they are actions; words and deeds. We recruit people who share these core values, and from day one, we support and challenge people to work every day in accordance with them.
Operations Director
Our resident scouser, Laura is the definition of the swan analogy. Always calm, no matter how many plates there are to spin. She loves problem solving and is incredibly process driven; using that alongside her exceptional organisation skills Laura, and the operations team, are continually improving our systems and processes to keep up with our new initiatives to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience for our clients. Laura studied French & Spanish at University, so wholeheartedly relates to that frustrating feeling of communication nuances holding you back from being authentically you. Like Sofia Vergara says, “Do you know how smart I am in Spanish?!” We get it! It’s hard to be the same brilliant you in a second language. Laura loves seeing these clients work with LSW and becoming the best communicators they can be. Aside from LSW, if she’s not dining out at lovely restaurants, she’s planning her next trip. Laura’s already visited 52 countries and is not stopping there!

Client & Operations Manager
Niamh’s school report cards often mentioned she was “too chatty,” a trait she now spins into a positive light, or translates to “eagerness to connect”. Communication has always been important to her, evidently. However, it wasn’t until she started at LSW that she truly understood the power and value of communication and connection. After studying Geography at university, not only was she equipped with analytical and data handling skills (she loves data and excel!!) but a sense of curiosity was instilled in her about the role we all play in the world (ecosystem). Niamh realised early on in her career that she genuinely wants to be a part of an organisation (ecosystem) that is improving people’s lives. Oh, and are value-led. The marriage of these two non-negotiables matched her perfectly with LSW! Day-to-day, Niamh always seeks to demonstrate that humour and kindness can be powerful catalysts for success within the team. Her aim is simple; blend laughter with hard work.

She has a knack for listening, asking the right questions and connecting the dots, decoding ‘the words beneath the words’. She gets a total thrill from building bespoke communication programmes for LSW’s corporate clients and the excitement is (hopefully) contagious. Fascinated by storytelling and understanding human culture, Suzy worked in client services within branding before joining the beautiful constellation that is London Speech Workshop.

Creative Assistant to Founder & CEO
As an avid crafter (think tailored dungarees and crochet sweater vests), reader and dancer, Ellie has plenty of creative brain power to offer up to the LSW team. Having earned a Geology degree, worked in various customer-facing roles and a science communications role in sustainable technology, the culmination of the most enjoyable parts and important values of her previous experience, have led to what feels like a match made in heaven at LSW. Strong, open and honest communication is non-negotiable for all her professional and personal relationships, and working within a team that shares the same strong values is inspiring and a massive driving force for her. She can’t wait to launch herself into whatever challenges the fast-paced world of LSW continues to throw at her (getting to work with nearly everyone on the team – big yay!), whilst knowing that LSW is a company that practises exactly what it’s preaching.

Founder & CEO
One of Emma’s values is adventure – she gets a thrill from the adventure of running LSW, having ideas one minute that can become reality the next. The people who work at LSW are kind, hard working and passionate about doing their bit to make the world a better place – and she feels seriously proud to be spearheading our company with such a lovely bunch. Her background is a colourful tapestry: she started with an MA in Philosophy and English Literature from Edinburgh University, and went on to do a post graduate at drama school, before working as a theatre director and producer. She also did an MSc in Psychology, trained in psychotherapy and as a life coach – the combination of which led to The Serlin Method™! In 2014 she set up a social enterprise for ex-offenders, and later wrote two books on communication. Her passion is about helping people to live their best lives – and it gives her absolute joy to hear the stories of transformation that happens for LSW clients every day. Outside of LSW, she like going to the theatre, food that looks like works of art and time spent in nature.

Managing Director & Partner
Caroline has worked in training and development for 20 years. She didn’t do it on purpose, but it turns out pretty much every job she’s ever had has been about supporting and driving other people to fulfil their potential. She believes that people are like batteries, they are cells of phenomenal power, but they cannot access that power if they’re not connected in the right way, if they don’t sit in the right machine. Caroline’s personal mission is to find ways to connect people to their own latent power. This ethos drives the organisations Caroline chooses to work with and for, and the way she leads and manages people, and it’s the reason she is so dedicated to LSW and the work we do. Caroline also loves to make jumpers and picks up cars for fun. Yep, she’s a crocheting strongwoman…it’s niche, but it works for her.
