It's 2026 and Lorna D Sheldon is celebrating running her business for 35 years!
After many years in the UK and 29 other countries around the world you could forgive her if she sat back and decided to consider that awful word that begins with R!
Perish the thought, whilst her clients old and new still need her training/ coaching for their people, she will be there. And it seems they do, as last year was her busiest year by far since the Pandemic. Businesses have spent years getting the tech right, the products shining examples of the work they do, and now they are concentrating on their people. We all communicate, we pretty near all have to present nowadays and there are those who need top skills in public speaking.
From major presentations to skills around the boardroom table, from the CEO's of the world through to their directors, senior managers and emerging leaders. They are all more challenged in a competitive marketplace. Where better to invest now, than in their people.
Lorna also works with students, even children from time to time. Everyone requires the ability to demonstrate confidence, competence and excellent communication skills.
Let me give you an idea of what she has been up, to as she roved around the globe, from Canada to Croatia, Japan to South Africa, Austria, Sweden, and the Netherlands too, plus France and the Bahamas, Malawi, Zambia and the USA and so on, and it is good to know that every company became a client through a personal introduction.

Communicate with Gravitas
8 Skills and Techniques that change the way you think about communication.
Skills and Techniques that are successful in every sector of business and every walk of life
Skills and Techniques that can be adapted to achieve results in every known opportunity and circumstance
Quote by
Elza Venter University
of South Africa
Elza is an educational psychologist and lecturer at Unisa, South Africa, in the Department of Psychology of Education.
She has been in the academic environment since 1992
The research question was:
"How can the generational communication gap be closed in order to allow people to have meaningful interpersonal communication?"
The conclusion is that the meaning of messages is often compromised in CMC (computer-mediated communication) because of the lack of nonverbal cues and social presence, which shows up in all face to face opportunities. However, rather than not communicating, people should find a balance to meet their relational needs."

Don’t worry I’m not going to send you all my work from now on, but I did feel the need to show you that I really agreed with what you said on Friday, and I have simplified my ppt right down and created a hand-out to accompany it! I’ll let you know how this is received after I deliver it on Wednesday. I thoroughly enjoyed our session on Friday. It was hard work, but intensely useful and interesting throughout. I had great confidence in your experience and insight, and your own delivery of the material was so arresting that it was hard not to want to emulate that level of engagement with my own audiences. I can’t recall another development session that has felt so immediately useful and impactful. I will continue to practice the methods you have taught us.

"Lorna D Sheldon was highly recommended to me by a trusted professional, so I had high expectations for the Day 1 Training. The two groups of participants were Bulgarian and had a wide range of ability. The improvement in their performance, by the end of the day was astonishing.
To say this training is: effective, good value for money or worth the time investment, are inadequate understatements. Lorna's mastery of communication gives participants the opportunity to learn through observation of excellence. This programme is full emersion in experiential learning. Progress is fast, and lasting. Deep suppression of self-expression was overcome, seemingly effortlessly. Lorna knows how to get maximum progress from each individual, with compassionate directness and understanding. One leaves with tools to improve communication, which can be applied in all situations: from daily life, to formal presentations.
This is a powerful group or individual experience that can be life-changing."

Dear Lorna,
On behalf of the Redrow Board and the whole sales team I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for your excellent contribution at our sales conference.
Everyone found your session very informative and relevant and it will help us to establish a truly Redrow way of selling.
Please keep in contact and there may be opportunities to incorporate some of your work into our sales consultant training programme.
Dave Bexton – Group Sales & Marketing Director – Redrow Homes Limited
“Lorna is probably the best trainer and coach of public speaking and effective communication in the world.”
Jim Croxton – CEO – BIGGA
If you never speak to customers or suppliers, or never conduct meetings or presentations - then you don’t need Lorna. If you do however - you need to speak to her! She is superb at teaching you how to present face to face and online; what to do & more importantly, what not to do. Superb value for money. Highly recommended.
