Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast

Today I’m joined by Elliot Kay,  Speaker coach, founder of Speaker Express, and champion of Purpose-driven Communication. Elliot's journey began as a corporate trainer, creating customer service training and manuals for major UK brands. A desire to improve led him to coaching, then to speaker training, where he quickly became a trainer himself. In 2011, he co-founded Speaker Express and went full-time in 2018. Today, he uses his gift to see the potential in others—often before they see it themselves—helping them craft and share their stories with confidence, authenticity, and lasting impact.

Join me in this episode as Elliot shares powerful tips for introverted business owners to use their voice and the stage to create impact, connect deeply, and own their story with confidence.

“Progress on stage is gradual. While we chase big impacts, real growth happens one step at a time.” - Elliot Kay

“The best talks challenge your audience to change, even in small ways. It doesn’t need to be a movement—just a shift that makes an impact.” - Elliot Kay ‍ About Elliot ‍‍

Elliot Kay’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. Growing up amid addiction, neglect, and violence, he faced immense struggles, including dyslexia and a devastating assault at 13. But he refused to be defined by his past.

Instead, he built a thriving business and became a powerhouse in leadership communication. Now an award-winning UK speaker, trainer, and author, Elliot helps others harness their voices for impact and success.

His mission is clear: to empower individuals to own their stories, rise beyond circumstances, and lead with confidence—because your past doesn’t define you. You do.
