Simon-Day-1

Simon Day

Simon Day was once terrified by the idea of speaking. After over a decade in secondary education with a distinct focus on oracy, including four years in educational leadership and coaching, Simon founded Kingfishers Consulting to help leaders, teams and organisations communicate with greater courage, clarity and craft. He now works across the corporate, public services and education sectors delivering coaching, training and speaking services. Simon has won numerous UK public speaking awards from Toastmasters International, The Professional Speaking Association and holds Grade 8 Speaking in Public with Distinction from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). He has featured on BBC Radio 4, local radio, numerous podcasts and is a podcast host himself. He is husband to Laura (2013) and father to three children.
