Josie Campbell

Hello, I’m Josie Campbell—a voice coach, communication trainer, and former actor based in Dubai. I help individuals and organisations communicate with greater confidence and authenticity through my Space Shift framework, which blends theatre techniques with executive presence and vocal coaching.

After years in the classroom, I took a leap and studied Actor Training and Coaching at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. I was in my mid-fifties, living in Airbnbs, and completely immersed in the creative process. It changed everything. I realised how vital space is to communication—not just voice or posture, but how we hold the room.

When I returned to Dubai, I fell back into corporate training, but with new eyes. I noticed how women especially felt invisible in the workplace, so I created a programme called Communications for Women to help them find their voice again.

In my recent interview with Mark Walmsley of the Arts and Culture Network, we explored my journey and passions—from ice skating dreams and Duran Duran to childhood memories in Zambia and artistic adventures in Monet’s garden. We even imagined a project where I’d travel the world building a global league table of women’s confidence. It was both whimsical and completely aligned with my mission.
