Meet the Founder:

Chris Billington

 

"Everyone has good ideas, but not all good ideas are listened to. It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it!"​

​

Chris is the founder of Speak and Present — a communication coach, speaker and trainer with over 15 years of experience helping people become more effective, confident communicators.

​

He has trained more than 10,000 individuals across sectors, coached a Nobel Prize nominee for a TEDx talk and briefed senior political figures before major speeches. He understands the techniques behind powerful communication — from the rhetorical devices used in great speeches to the way journalists choose words that engage and influence.

​

Chris has also helped clients craft speeches for conferences, weddings and other important occasions, balancing humour, dignity and impact to suit each context.

Earlier in his career, Chris held roles at BMW, Honda and Canada Life, giving him insight into corporate cultures and the communication challenges faced by professionals at all levels.

​

He is also a qualified Mountain Leader and expedition leader, having led teams through remote environments in South America, Africa, Asia and Europe — an experience that has shaped his calm, supportive and purposeful coaching style.
