Team Presentation Workshops
Voice-led team presentation workshops for senior leadership teams, partner pitch groups, marketing and creative teams, and any group whose collective communication carries weight.
Half-day, full-day and multi-session formats that are led by Jack Starkey-Gill, Voice Director at Bell Shakespeare.
Sydney based, with workshops delivered in person and remotely. From $5,490.
Most team communication training focuses on alignment, frameworks and slide structure. JSG Voice works on the instrument that delivers them – the collective voice of your team. Breath, presence, pace, weight. The same conservatoire-grade techniques used to prepare ensemble casts at Bell Shakespeare, translated for the rooms where your team’s reputation is made.
How workshops run
Our workshops are scoped around your team’s specific context: the rooms you’re presenting in, the stakes you’re working with, and the gaps you’ve identified. Each engagement runs across three phases:
1. Strategic scoping session
A confidential consultation with team leadership to identify the specific contexts the workshop needs to address – partner pitches, client presentations, board updates, AGMs, all-hands addresses, internal stakeholder alignment. We map the team’s current communication patterns, the stakes involved, and the outcomes that would justify the investment.
2. Voice-led group workshop
Half-day, full-day or multi-session formats depending on scope. Workshops blend foundational voice and presence work (breath, resonance, pace, weight) with applied practice on the team’s actual material – real pitches, real presentations, real boardroom contexts. Group exercises plus individual feedback. Built for teams whose work is too important to leave to generic training.
3. Embedded follow-through
Workshops are reinforced with a team practice toolkit and an optional follow-up session. The goal isn’t a single energising day – it’s habits that hold up the next time the team walks into a critical room together.
What teams come away with
Workshop outcomes are scoped to the team’s specific context, but most engagements deliver:
✔️ A unified team voice – consistent tone, pace and weight across speakers
✔️ Stronger individual presence within a coordinated team delivery
✔️ Cleaner, more compelling pitching – for clients, boards, investors and stakeholders
✔️ Calmer, more anchored delivery under high-stakes pressure
✔️ Shared communication habits the team carries into everyday meetings, not just the big ones
✔️ A noticeable lift in how the team is received in rooms that matter
Who we work with
Workshops are scoped around the specific room your team needs to walk into. The most common engagements are with the following team types:
Legal & Professional Services Teams
For partner pitch teams, senior associates and practice groups at law firms and professional services firms. Workshops tailored to client pitches, partner presentations, courtroom preparation and the intellectually dense communication that defines top-tier professional services.
Executive & Leadership Teams
For C-suite leadership groups, executive committees and senior leadership cohorts. Workshops focused on cohesive team-wide delivery for board meetings, all-hands addresses, AGMs, leadership team rollouts and aligned executive messaging across the organisation.
Marketing & Creative Teams
For marketing leadership, account teams, creative directors and agency groups whose work depends on translating creative or strategic ideas into compelling client-facing presentations. The challenge is rarely the work itself – it’s making the room understand and trust it.
Sales & Pitch Teams
For client-facing teams in sales, business development, fund management and consulting – groups whose individual revenue and the firm’s revenue ride on the quality of high-stakes pitches. Workshops focus on the moments where voice, presence and conviction translate directly to commercial outcome.
The voice-led methodology
Most team communication training works on alignment, structure and frameworks. JSG Voice works on the instrument behind all of it – the collective voice of your team. Breath. Resonance. Pace. Weight. Presence. The physical components that determine whether your team’s content actually lands.
The methodology draws on the established lineage of professional voice pedagogy: Patsy Rodenburg, Kristin Linklater, Cicely Berry, Barbara Houseman, Catherine Fitzmaurice. The same techniques used to prepare ensemble casts at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and Bell Shakespeare for the demands of major stages. Translated for the demands of corporate rooms.
Almost no other team-communication coach in the Sydney corporate market has trained at conservatoire level in voice. The combination of conservatoire pedagogy and corporate context is rare – that’s the differentiator your team is paying for.

Frequently asked questions
Most workshops run with teams of 5 to 15. Below 5, individual coaching is usually a better fit. Above 15, the workshop format starts to lose the close-quarters feedback that drives the most useful change. For larger teams, multi-session programs split into smaller working groups can work well, but we are happy to discuss this on the scoping call.

Most engagements are with industry-specific teams: partner and pitch teams at law firms, leadership teams at infrastructure and finance companies, marketing and creative teams at agencies, and sales teams across professional services. Workshops are scoped to the specific communication contexts that matter for your industry.
Generic presentation training focuses on slide structure, frameworks and confidence. JSG Voice works on the physical instrument behind communication – voice, breath, presence, pace. The methodology is drawn from conservatoire-level voice pedagogy, the same discipline used to prepare professional actors. Almost no other team coach in Sydney’s corporate market has trained at this level in voice.
