Trish Springsteen, Trischel
Women and Gender Communication

Trish Springsteen is a Communication Expert, Senior Trainer, Professional Speaker and Author specialising in Communication, Leadership and Management, Team Building and Retention, Stress Management, Public Speaking and Interview Skills. With over 10 years experience in Communication, Training and Speaking, Trish is often asked to MC festivals and gala events and has delivered numerous keynote presentations at conferences, events and workshops for both corporate and community organisations.

It was an intense fear of public speaking that led to Trish’s fascination with communication. She once found herself in a role that required her to get out and meet people and attend networking events. Terrified, Trish would often hide in the corner with no self confidence. Determined to overcome her debilitating fear Trish threw herself in the deep end and went to learn how to speak professionally. It was the change she saw in her own self development that has ignited a passion to help others to eliminate their nerves and fears by improving their speaking skills and self confidence. As a direct result Trish now spends her time training individuals and corporate companies on overcoming communication barriers to become effective communicators and public speakers.
