About Us
At A Glass of Water, we help you clearly articulate who you and your business are - both in writing and in presentations - so you can express your authentic self, with confidence. This clarity helps you connect more deeply with your audience, build trust, and ultimately grow your business.
For us, communication is being clear, purposeful and engaging, regardless of the medium. What you write and what you say should be consistent, whether you’re speaking to five people or five hundred. This is where our expertise around strategy, planning, written copy and person to person rapport can help you make a powerful connection.
We are dedicated to helping organisations clarify their message, and navigate complex communication challenges, by getting to the heart of what they want to say and finding the way to deliver that, internally and externally. Supporting them to move into their next phase. Whatever that looks like.
With over 30 years of experience across a wide range of sectors, our team, led by Principal Consultants Susannah Goddard SCMP and Shea Evans, works alongside a network of experts to deliver tailored solutions. Whatever kind of organisation or business you’re in, we’re here to help you find the right approach for your specific challenges.
Our Approach
Our approach is not formulaic, one-size fits all. We are not automatons. We don't presume to know your business better than you. We don't think that works. We don't think you get anything out of that. So, our approach is strategic, practical, individual and collaborative. We combine our expertise with yours, so that you're understood by your target audience.
A Glass of Water brings clear thinking and expert support to the communication challenges that often sit just out of reach. You know what you want to say. We'll help you say it.
We help translate complex issues and situations into plain language so your customers, clients and staff understand what you do really well, and why you're best placed to help them.
Working with leaders, executives and boards we create tailored solutions for your organisation to:
-
Strengthen their brand
