Being slick and polished is one thing. Authenticity and integrity is another.
Whether you’re stepping in front of a camera, taking the stage at a conference, leading a boardroom presentation, or simply trying to communicate with more confidence and clarity, Silver Lining & Co has a training program tailored to you. Led by Cassie Silver, a seasoned journalist, producer, and communications coach with over 15 years of media and broadcast experience, our programs are deeply practical, deeply personal, and built around one belief: that the most powerful communicators aren’t perfect, they’re present.
Every program is individually tailored to your specific goals, industry, and communication style. No cookie-cutter frameworks. No generic advice. Just targeted coaching that helps you find your voice and own every room you walk into.

Our team has recently completed some professional development with Cassie and wow. So impactful! A week later and I am still reflecting on the content delivered and incorporating Cassie’s insights and suggestions into my practise. And our team is closer and more united! Thank you Cassie, your willingness to be honest about your own story, your why, and your style of delivery will stay with me.
The session was extremely well organised, and from the beginning they created an environment where the group felt safe to be vulnerable with each other. We were respectfully challenged on our existing presentation styles and thought processes, invited to critically reflect and respectfully provide feedback to one another. It was an incredibly valuable day, and our team is feeling motivated and excited to implement the learnings, to improve our current practice!
Silver Lining & Co’s media training was a game-changer for our team. The practical simulations and expert feedback helped us feel prepared and confident for our media engagements.
Cassie is an amazing, supportive coach and really has given me alot of confidence being infront of the camera. I am now able to get though interviews without stumbling over my words because of the training tips I have learned from Cassie.
