Nick Smallman - Managing Director
Motivational Speaker

Nick is founder and Managing Director of Working Voices.

He launched the company in 1998 to teach “How to present” to a handful of Clients in the UK investment banking community. Working Voices now fields 12 trainers teaching a wide range of interpersonal communications skills to blue-chip companies in all sectors across four continents.

Before establishing Working Voices, Nick sold financial services in the City of London. He sold lots. He topped the tables. Others asked him how.

So he deconstructed his method and homed-in on i) the foundations of his success – conviction, self-belief, purpose and preparation – and ii) the things that he’d built on those foundations – the right mindset, the right moves, the right vocal delivery. It was these simple but effective ideas that made the sale and it is these same ideas that he has developed since and preaches today to a growing audience.

From those beginnings Nick has established a reputation as an exciting, charismatic and entertaining speaker, and a premier coach. At the same time he has built Working Voices into the business it is today. That original handful of UK investment banking Clients – all of whom are still on the books after nine years, Nick is proud to boast – has now grown to a Client list of 80 + premier corporate names.

Apart from running and growing the business with his management team, Nick still coaches often – as much abroad as in the UK (Western Europe, East-Coast USA, China and Russia principally). Increasingly, though, he concentrates on motivational speaking at large conferences, and one-to-one Executive Coaching for purposes as varied as preparing for presentations to market analysts and shareholders; speaking at international conferences; handling up-coming, difficult board meetings; and making social, after-dinner speeches.
