As a career expert I speak about (spoiler alert) careers and building professional confidence. I speak on a range of in-demand career and leadership topics in popular formats, such as a short talk, a 90-minute keynote, an interactive lunch and learn or a leaders’ half day development session. I am engaging on-stage, at the front of a room or on-screen.
As well as being a charismatic and inclusive speaker, my content has lasting impact, with many audience members saying they're still using my strategies and techniques long after the event.
Audiences hear concepts that are simple to adopt and receive steps that are easy to put in place on-the-job. Your delegates leave motivated and excited to try something new to empower their work and careers.

Topics I'm regularly booked for:
- Persuasive at Work: Three Communication Strategies to Make You More Influential in the Workplace
- Leading Hybrid Teams: How to Successfully Transition from the Board Room to the Hybrid Workplace with High Team Productivity
- Foundational Conversations: Mindset Secrets That Make Difficult Conversations Successful
- And many more!
Here are 5 reasons you should book me to speak at your next event:

Impactful Live or Virtual
My content is powerful and practical. I inspire and motivate. I have years of live experience with audiences of different sizes What really sets me apart from most is I bring valuable on-screen experience too (complete with virtual break-out rooms when using Zoom). When your event is taking place on-line I deliver great content and engage audiences through video conference, whether it's an hour or a half-day.

A Female Speaker Who Reflects Your Audience
Booking a strong, charismatic woman as your keynote speaker, or to deliver a talk or workshop at your event, helps diversify your line up. A no-brainer when you want to reflect the composition of your audience and a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
