David Gillespie is a successful TV, film and voice over actor who uses his unique skills as a thespian to help others reach their potential through effective communication, especially in the corporate market

Dave is a coach to business teams and corporate executives who are looking to improve their all round communication and presentation skills. Dave’s unique coaching techniques and skills are honed from over thirty years of working in the arts industry as an actor, writer and performer. This background has allowed him to show clients how to deliver powerful messages in a concise and impactful way ensuring that the story lands, sticks and gets passed on to those they wish to persuade and influence.

His speaking and coaching work on great communication has taken him from Dubai to the USA giving seminars and workshops for such organisations as AOL, Apple, Google, St James Place Wealth Management, BNP Paribas, The NHS, Bacardi, The Crown Estate, Richmond Events, Toshiba, Omron, William Hill, and many more.  

He is the co-author of five books on communication skills including the WHSmith bestseller How to be Interesting. David is frequently interviewed and has appeared on BBC TV’s Newsnight to comment on the communication skills of political leaders. 

“I have worked with Dave on a number of engagements, all of which have been a pleasure. His ability to get individuals thinking about how others perceive them and how to build a personal brand, have been engrained in my teams skillset with clear and positive results. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others, although best not shout too loud…. He’s rather a secret weapon.”
“Dave is a fantastic coach and trainer who will give you powerful and thought-provoking insights which will change the way you think about how you deliver your messages. Dave also has a very warm and engaging manner and relates to people of all backgrounds. Highly recommended.”
“Dave is a fantastic communicator in every medium and a great collaborator. His wit and humour make for great engagement and I look forward to working with him on many more creative projects in the future.”
“Dave is a real expert in his area and is able to draw on his multiple disciplines to provide an effective, integrated experience for his clients. Working with Dave is both fun and impactful.”
“We have worked with Dave several times at K2 and each time has been great! His style is relaxed, informal and great fun – we regularly recommend Dave to our customers.”
Wow – what a star Dave is, quite literally! From coaching to facilitating highly engaging workshops, with practical tools to help people better communicate, present with impact and land powerful messages. Oh, and did I mention his brilliant acting and voice over skills? Dave’s West End and Wizardry storytelling is legendary, and I will never be able to read Red Riding Hood in the same way again! Intrigued? You should be – I’d certainly hire Dave again in a heartbeat! Sarah Gosiewska FCIPD – JT Global
