HOW COACHING WORKS

One-to-one coaching is where THE BRAVA METHOD™ meets your specific voice, story and goals. Whether you're preparing for a single high-stakes moment or working to shift a pattern that's been with you for years, every session is built entirely around you. There is no fixed curriculum or generic script. You bring what's live for you; we work through it together, with live feedback in real time.

OVERVIEW

We start with a conversation around what's bringing you to coaching, what you're working toward, and what's got in the way before. From there, we build a programme shaped around that. Sessions run for a minimum of 3, though most people work with us for 6–10+ to see real, lasting results.

WHY BRAVA?

At BRAVA, all of our training is live and tailored to you. There are no pre-recorded modules and we work with people of all ages and experience levels from 20 yrs+, from a wide range of backgrounds. Whether you’re coming from the worlds of acting, broadcasting, marketing, advertising, or another creative discipline, this course is the best place to start to understand the craft

 

You’ll benefit from the expertise of professional coaches who understand the nuances of the craft and the business. Many people are surprised by how much there is to learn and how much they can grow, even in just three sessions.

Course delivery

The course is delivered online over Zoom. Please ensure you have a computer or tablet with a microphone and camera. The zoom link will be shared once your booking is confirmed.

About the coach

This course will be delivered by founder and principal coach, Melissa Thom. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is BRAVA Business?
BRAVA Business is our corporate arm, bringing the training and coaching techniques we've built with voice actors and broadcasters to professionals and teams, using THE BRAVA METHOD™ to build confidence, clarity, and impact at work.

​

Who can work with BRAVA Business?
Any professional who wants to improve how they communicate at work, from team leaders and executives to employees who want to feel more confident speaking up in meetings or presentations.

​

How do I know if I need this training?
If you feel nervous presenting, worry that people don't hear you in meetings, or want your voice and words to land with more impact and persuasion at work, this is built for you.

​

Are business sessions online or in person?
Both. Choose what works best for your schedule. Our online sessions are interactive and just as effective as in-person coaching, and we often recommend a hybrid approach: online sessions initially, followed by an in-person session or workshop to put it into practice.

Many clients notice improvements after just a few sessions. With consistent practice, you can build long-lasting confidence and presence over a few months, something our testimonials speak to directly.

Can BRAVA Business help my whole team?
Yes. We run workshops tailored to your business or organisation that boost team communication, presentations, and meeting effectiveness. See our Bespoke Organisational Programmes option above.

​

What makes BRAVA Business different?
Our coaches are seasoned professionals with real-world experience in acting, stage, screen, and studio, combined with deep expertise in industries like advertising, marketing, broadcast, and tech — paired with THE BRAVA METHOD™, our own proprietary framework, not a generic communications template.

​

How do I get started with BRAVA Business?
Enquire about a talk or workshop for your organisation, book a discovery call for 1-1 coaching, or talk to us about a bespoke organisational programme. We'll arrange a chat about your goals and build a plan around you.

​

Can I book Melissa or a BRAVA coach for a talk or keynote?
Yes. The Confident Communication Masterclass is booked directly by your organisation, as a 30–60 minute keynote-style talk or a full interactive workshop, delivered in person or over video (stage, conference, all-hands, pitch prep, Zoom or Teams). It's the easiest way to bring BRAVA into your organisation for the first time.
