You have something valuable to say. Speak & Be Seen gives you the confidence and communication tools to say it — clearly, powerfully, and on purpose.

"The girl who was told to be quiet learned to make rooms stop and listen — and now she teaches other women how to do the same."

I help women be heard,
not just seen.

ABOUT CHANEL

Over a decade on real stages, behind real microphones, in rooms where confidence is not optional.

Chanel Olive is a TEDx speaker, professional MC/Host, keynote speaker, and confidence and communication coach with coaching and counselling training. She is also Miss Supranational Philippines 2017, placing in the international Top 10.

Growing up Australian-Filipino in regional Australia in the 1990s, she knows what it costs to shrink yourself to fit in — and what becomes possible when you stop.

That lived experience sits at the centre of everything she does: coaching women to find their voice, hosting rooms that need a commanding presence, and speaking to audiences who need to hear that they belong.

How we can work together

Chanel’s work spans five areas: confidence and communication, MC/hosting and media presenting, speaking and moderation, talent and entertainment, and model and pageant training.

Across each, she brings her experience in communication, performance and personal development to help people find their voice, build their presence and step into opportunities.

SIGNATURE PROGRAM
