Jakki Bendell

I am a qualified and accredited coach and trainer who specialises in helping people communicate their ideas at work.

For over 15 years, I have worked alongside technical experts and business leaders to help them improve their written communication through personalised coaching, hands-on workshops, training sessions and writing services.

The results include more clarity, better decisions, stronger leadership and improved relationships with clients, employees, executives and other stakeholders.

I specialise in helping technical specialists to:

• Improve their communication and impact
• Lead teams with clarity and empathy
• Explain complex data in business terms
• Write more persuasive reports, emails, bids, business cases and marketing copy
• Improve cross-functional collaboration
• Develop assertiveness and confidence in meetings
• Prepare for high-stakes meetings, pitches and presentations

Who I Work With

My clients include industry leaders in engineering, executive recruitment and financial services, as well as start-ups, SMEs and local authorities. I am a specialist trainer/coach with The Institution of Civil Engineers, ITEC Skills and Employment, MSB Executive and Plain Words.

Recent clients include the British Pipeline Agency, Air Business, First Marine International and Harrison Bridge Executive Recruitment.

I also provide personal coaching and writing services to individuals. I deliver both in-person and virtually via MS Teams or Zoom.

What I Bring

With an MBA from Manchester Business School, I successfully managed a series of multi-million pound publishing businesses for a global publisher. Aged 35, I left to travel the world and taught English as a qualified TESOL teacher in Thailand and Spain. Since 2011, I have run my own independent training and coaching business specialising in written and face-to-face communication skills.

In my spare time, I am a writer and performer in community film, theatre, dance and music projects in Brighton.

With this background, I combine a wealth of real-world commercial experience, creative collaboration and many years of expertise in helping people strengthen their communication skills. Using industry-specific case studies, examples, tried-and-tested techniques and creative exercises, I can adapt and flex my approach to the specific needs of each client.

Each contract is tailored to the client’s needs. As an associate of the CIPD and accredited member of the AoEC, I uphold the ICF Code of Ethics.
