#254: Speaking for Impact and Business Growth

Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast Today I’m joined by Elliot Kay,  Speaker coach, founder of Speaker Express, and champion of Purpose-driven Communication. Elliot's journey began as a corporate trainer, creating customer service training and manuals for major UK brands. A desire to improve led him to coaching, then to speaker training, where he quickly became a trainer himself. In 2011, he co-founded Speaker Express and went full-time in 2018. Today, he uses his gift to see the potential in others—often before they see it themselves—helping them craft and share their stories with confidence, authenticity, and lasting impact. Join me in this episode as Elliot shares powerful tips for introverted business owners to use their voice and the stage to create impact, connect deeply, and own their story with confidence. ‍ “Progress on stage is gradual.
