TRAINING
"Mai is probably one of the brightest, most capable women I know. She has a dynamic, engaging and sometimes down right hysterically funny personality accompanied by a razor sharp mind and a Mary Poppins like bag of skills that never ceases to amaze me."

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.

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."
