We are Speech and Language UK – we want every child to face the future with confidence. For 1.9 million children in the UK, learning to talk and understand
words feels like an impossible hurdle.
Senior executives rarely need generic “public speaking training.” They need to communicate effectively when the stakes are high.
A board meeting. An investor or partner presentation. A major customer conversation. A conference keynote. A media interview. A difficult employee discussion. A town hall. An organizational change. A technical presentation for a nontechnical audience.
Since 1964, the Speech Improvement Company has helped leaders and teams prepare for these moments with greater clarity, confidence, authenticity, and persuasive impact. Based in Boston, we are a woman-owned business with clients located globally. We provide private executive communication coaching and customized group training, delivered in person or remotely.
Our work is practical, direct, empathetic, and tailored to the individual, team, organization, and business objectives. We help clients strengthen both what they say and how they say it—from message structure, listener analysis, and storytelling to delivery, executive presence, handling difficult questions, and managing nervousness.
Notable clients include Accenture, Apple, Amazon, Bain Capital, Comcast, Goldman Sachs, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Google, McKinsey & Company, the New York Giants, Pfizer, Reebok, S&P Global, Sony Music, USC, and the White House.

The SpeechSkills Difference
Our training is always practical, action-oriented, and behavior based. We firmly believe that executive presence and communication excellence are not innate talents, but learned skills––skills that anyone can develop. We explicitly define the behaviors required to project credibility and then provide the direct feedback and expert coaching necessary to perform those skills when it matters most.
We know that in today’s highly competitive business environment, time is in short supply. That’s why we require that all of our keynotes, seminars, and workshops provide content-rich information that is immediately applicable. In short, we don’t feel we’ve done our job unless we have an impact on how you do business in the real world.
