I have worked closely with Syrus as a business partner for over four years, and I can confidently recommend him as an exceptional communicator and coach.

Syrus possesses a rare ability to break down complex ideas into engaging, accessible insights. In our professional collaborations, I have seen firsthand his mastery of public speaking—he is articulate, composed, and has a natural talent for connecting with any audience.

Beyond his technical skills, Syrus is deeply trustworthy and professional. He approaches every project with integrity and a genuine desire to help others succeed. As a coach, he is patient, encouraging, and highly effective at identifying a person’s strengths and helping them build their confidence. Anyone looking to improve their public speaking would be lucky to work with him.

I’ve known Syrus for a long time and can confidently say he is incredibly trustworthy, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. He has a natural ability to listen, ask the right questions, and create a safe, supportive space for growth. As a coach, he’s calm, insightful, and genuinely invested in helping people move forward. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for guidance and encouragement!

Working with Syrus has been transformational for my public speaking confidence.

As someone who regularly needs to present to corporate clients, I was looking for a coach who could help me communicate with authenticity and impact. Syrus's RADA training and 15+ years of experience shine through in every session.

What sets Syrus apart is his warm, engaging approach that immediately puts you at ease. He has an incredible ability to identify exactly what you need to work on and help you make tangible improvements in a single hour.

His feedback is always evidence-based, specific, and delivered with genuine encouragement - never generic platitudes.

Syrus brings a unique drama-based methodology that goes beyond typical presentation tips. He helps you find and present your authentic self, rather than teaching you to perform or adopt an artificial persona. This approach has been game-changing for me professionally.

Whether you're preparing for a high-stakes pitch, want to feel more confident in meetings, or simply want to develop your communication skills, I cannot recommend Syrus highly enough. His expertise with clients ranging from the British Army to KPMG speaks volumes, but it's his one-on-one coaching that truly demonstrates his exceptional talent.

Syrus has worked with me in my Development Consultancy for a number of years as a hugely trusted and respected coach and facilitator. Not only does Syrus have a wealth of knowledge and expertise, he is also extremely warm, authentic and relatable. He is able to quickly gain the trust of clients across a broad cross section of industries and always delivers an exceptional piece of work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Syrus to anyone for this type of work.

I highly recommend Syrus as a public speaking tutor. His guidance and coaching greatly improved my confidence. Syrus provides tangible and constructive feedback and tailored sessions to meet needs (not a one size fits all approach).

I strongly endorse Syrus for anyone looking to enhance their public speaking skills.

I booked a session with Syrus to help me prepare for acting as the celebrant for my brother’s wedding. Having never done anything like this before, I was incredibly nervous. As a public speaking tutor, Syrus was patient, and gave me the exact tools I needed to deliver a heartfelt ceremony with confidence. I went from feeling overwhelmed to genuinely excited about my role at the wedding.

As a public speaking tutor, he is everything you could hope for: funny, kind, and incredibly encouraging. What I appreciated most was his honesty; he gave me clear, constructive feedback while being complimentary of me. He really boosted my confidence and made me feel prepared for such an important, emotional day. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. Thank you Syrus.

I’ve worked with Syrus across multiple companies and leadership programmes and every time, he brings something rare: A space where leaders feel safe enough to practise the conversations they usually avoid, and bold enough to try again until it sticks. He helps leaders move beyond theory and into action — fast!

Syrus is the most trusted facilitator I’ve worked with and someone I’ll keep bringing back.
