Coppergate Communications is here to coach, support and advise.

With over 30 years of experience, Zaiba Malik understands what clear, impactful and confident communication is. As a trusted adviser and coach, she works closely with clients to support and guide through opportunities and challenges.

Experience
"Our team lacked the experience to articulate our vision and message for our external advocacy. Zaiba helped us to progress and aligned us on our goal, whilst coaching us on crafting compelling messages. We faced a daunting challenge: addressing over 5000 people live. With Zaiba’s help, we delivered our first captivating speech with conviction and enthusiasm, framing our views around powerful questions and today, we build on that experience."

“Zaiba was very clear in helping to engineer some important risk-management and recovery decisions inside an organisation with a complex structure and whose staff were under extreme pressure.

Experience
“Zaiba’s advice and support was faultless. Whilst she’d had no prior exposure to our situation, she was able to immerse herself very quickly and elicit the information required with exactitude and speed, despite the many stakeholders and parties involved. Her background as a journalist proved extremely helpful in pointing out the risks and how to avoid them, which helped us ultimately to mitigate the situation further.”

“At a crucial time when we needed to demonstrate the value of our complex business, the merit of the presentation training Zaiba provided was undoubtedly significant. She helped us to recognise what was important in our narrative in areas such as financial benefit, innovation and culture. She then helped us to make sure we delivered this content with conviction and commitment. Right across our senior leadership, we welcomed her ability to grasp where we needed to be and how to get there”
