Syd Atlas makes your content come alive so that people listen.
I believe that authenticity, emotions and storytelling are the best ways to connect to people. It is not just what you say that matters, but how your audience hears it and what they feel about it. And your audience is everyone who is listening - one person or one thousand. This is what impact means.
Whether for meetings, talks, conferences or personal growth and development, I can help bring out your best self. I work with both individuals and teams in person and online. I hold workshops in Communications, Women’s Leadership, Pitching, Presentation, Negotiations, Trust and Storytelling.
Syd is an inspiring speaker engaging her audience from the moment she walks on stage. She connects personal and universal stories with humor and originality.
Pitching and moderating is about sharing your passion with your audience. It is about balancing what they
should know and how they should feel about it.
A familiar face at the Berlinale and Frankfurter Book Fair, Syd leads discussions, delivers powerful pitches and hosts awards ceremonies with wit
and charm.
Syd works with both teams and individuals in person or online. She can help craft your content to make your audience engaged and connected.
She holds workshops as well as 1:1 coaching customized to your personal needs for growth and development.
