Andrea WilliamsI'm Andrea Williams, communication coach and facilitator, Speech and Drama licentiate, voice coach and EFT practitioner based in Cape Town.

In 2008, after a number of years as a teacher, trainer and facilitator for organisations such as Speechwise, I started Sagitta Communication and Life Skills (Sagitta Training).

I provide interpersonal communication and public speaking/presentation skills learning programmes in the form of group workshops and private coaching.

I aim to provide you with an adult learning experience which will make a positive and lasting difference to you.

I have a lifelong fascination with authentic communication as essential for the wellbeing of humans and am never happier than when I am sharing my knowledge and skills.

Coaching: I offer effective and enjoyable one-on-one coaching in voice, communication skills and public speaking for all occasions. My basic rate for coaching is R220.00/session. Discounts apply to pre-booked and paid programmes of 3, 6, 9 or 12 sessions.

Workshops: Small groups ensure a supportive, pleasant learning environment and get the best results. For this reason my workshops are strictly limited to a maximum of ten persons

Staff and volunteers of NPO's and NGO's are especially welcome and are offered exceptionally affordable rates.

(By the way, in case you were wondering, "SAGITTA" means "ARROW" and is pronounced like the beginning of "Sagittarius" the sign of the archer)

WHAT DO MY CLIENTS SAY?

"The speech went very well and I received lots of compliments. I in fact felt calm, and enjoyed being in the moment. They laughed in all the right places and I was told later there were also a few tears. So thank you for your patience and time in helping me get it right." - F.L.W.

"Thank you for all the positive comments that you gave me when I stumbled in front of you, could not even finish a sentence, because I think they somehow made me believe that I could do it. ... my lecturer's comment on my speech was 'That was very professionally done Kaye, I can't fault your speech, well done.' For someone like me who has always dreaded public speaking, it made me feel really proud of myself." - Kaye, Public Relations Management student, Cape Peninsula University of Technology

"I received such positive feedback and have now officially launched my career in public speaking, thanks to your skilled coaching and so cost-effective, other courses on offer were staggeringly expensive.  I found the one-on-one training much faster and applicable to my situation. I highly recommend your services." - Delia Claassen, True Call

"I have found it has already helped me in my day to day living, e.g. breathing and being grounded in the way we stand.  I would recommend the workshop to anyone - especially if you're lacking confidence" - Morag Noffke, South African College of Applied Psychology

"Very interactive and engaging, very nice exercises, uncomfortable at times, but that is what makes a good learning experience." - Trine Zacho, South African College of Applied Psychology

What's in it for you to have an assessment?

A communication skills assessment for you or your business allows you to:

1. Realistically assess your present situation

2. Envisage a future situation

3. Be informed as to what options are available

4. Plan the learning and actions you require

"When you rediscover your ability to speak from the heart you profoundly affect not only the quality and resonance of your voice, but the way in which you communicate with others.  You will be heard more easily, convey your words more effectively and communicate at a far deeper and more heartfelt level.  Those around you will automatically be drawn to you, sensing your authenticity and wholeheartedness.  Your body, mind and spirit will become more balanced and you will find it easier to live in the truth of present-moment consciousness" 

Stewart Pearce, "The Alchemy of Voice"
