Hi I'm
Lorraine Brunning

I have spent the last 30 years working as a Communications Skills Specialist and Business Coach.

I help people in business communicate more effectively; whether that means having more authority and concision in the way they message; being able to influence more effectively; demonstrate a greater bandwidth of leadership behaviours; be compelling when presenting or pitching or just create better relationships – operationally and strategically.

I have designed and delivered countless communication skills programmes through the years including numerous focused on building leadership capabilities.

Plus, I have worked extensively with senior professionals around the world helping them with their keynote speeches, their conference presentations, their TED talk preparation and their business pitches.

Do
We Really Gel?

At Gel, we believe great communication helps teams gel, but how well do we really know each other? We put ourselves to the test with a fun Mr & Mrs-style Q&A to find out.
