Elizabeth Marmur Communication Skills
Consultancy and Training
Testimonials
“Elizabeth has delivered numerous courses for us, working with my co-directors, other barristers, former senior judges and myself. In that time she has helped work across a range of sectors, including financial services, further education, medical and business. Many of the individuals she has trained are extremely senior and some of them did not have English as a first language. I have always found Elizabeth to be entirely professional as well as excellent in her ability to identify the needs of individuals, the methods needed to develop them and how to achieve positive outcomes. On a personal level, Elizabeth is warm and engaging and has been a pleasure to deal with."

"Elizabeth has a patient, empathic and person-centred approach to working with clients. As a past client, working on confidence building, public speaking and presentation skills, we were able to explore in depth my past experiences, self-perceptions and perceived obstacles and work with them in a flexible and constructive way. Elizabeth also allowed me as a client to co-steer the direction of our work together, leading to notable changes in self-stature and public speaking within a few sessions".

“Elizabeth models the communications skills she teaches in how well she listens to the needs of her client and empathises with the needs of her target audience. She put great effort and thought into planning our school event, liaised with all other speakers to ensure no repetition of materials and was exceptionally professional throughout. Elizabeth is a wonderful speaker, clear and engaging and expert at making subjects which are hard to pin down absolutely clear. She is able to break down the components of good communication into small, manageable actions which all students can understand. All of our students were able to take something away from the session in terms of their personal presentation, which is absolutely vital for their future career.”

“Elizabeth has trained over 300 students this academic year in how to participate on the Jump mentoring programme. She designs and leads her programme in a way that keeps students engaged and motivated. They learn key life skills such as 'first impressions,' 'self -presentation' and 'communicating with confidence.' She confidently trained our new mentors in how to mentor students and can adapt her style and presentation to any audience. Our students, school staff and mentors have given us very positive feedback and we will definitely use her again and recommend her services to others. On a personal note, I have found her inspiring, motivating and a real pleasure to work with.”

"I am extremely grateful for Elizabeth’s insight into my communication skills under stress. Her suggestions on focus and “being in the moment” have had great results not only in regards to interviews, but also in my professional life - enough that a colleague has asked for Elizabeth’s contact details. Her perceptions of “newer” or altered behaviour patterns that have occurred as a result of actual or perceived impressions were very insightful and a colleague commented that a “spring in my step” was the result.

"During the sessions, I learned a lot about how to make a good first impression, how to be confident, and generally how to sell myself to an interviewer. I have since gained a place at a highly competitive medical school and Elizabeth's help and advice was invaluable in achieving this. The sessions were well prepared, useful and definitely good value for money. I would recommend it to anyone preparing for an interview."
