Communication beyond the stage

Public speaking is only part of the picture. A lot of what holds capable people back happens in everyday working conversations: the meeting where you get talked over, the pushback you don't know how to answer, the team you end up micromanaging because the message didn't land the first time.

As a communication coach in Sheffield, Dan Deighton helps managers, directors and entrepreneurs handle all of it with more confidence and clarity. It's business communication coaching, focused on the conversations that affect your career and your team.

What clients come to Dan for

  • Thinking on their feet under pressure
  • Handling conflict and pushback calmly
  • Leading with clarity instead of micromanaging
  • Being heard and taken seriously by senior leaders

Leadership communication coaching, one to one

Coaching is one-to-one, online or in person, and built around what you need. Depending on your situation, that might be the five-week Confident Communicator Sprint, which builds your authority alongside your speaking skills, or the three-month Executive Presence Partner, which focuses on speaking the language of ROI, handling conflict and presentation skills.

If the issue is bigger than one person, such as conflict avoidance, poor delegation or low accountability across a team, Dan's Bespoke Culture Shift programme builds a framework around it over time.
