Speaking
Talks that invite reflection, emotional intelligence, and practical insight, shaped by lived experience and professional depth. Available in Maidenhead or online.
My talks and presentations have been described as though-provoking, mobilising, impactful, and among the best people have seen on the subject.
If you are looking for a speaker who can balance story, emotion, interaction, solid research and meaningful impact, and has formal training on impactful speaking, I may be the right fit.
My talks challenge how people think about organisational systems, and I enjoy reflecting with audiences on how to support teams to thrive in complex, nuanced realities.

How I Shape My Talks

-
I listen. Before shaping any talk, I take the time to hear the voices of different roles and perspectives. I aim to understand what is unique about the audience and the context they are working in.
-
We agree on what matters. Together we identify key themes, core structure or central message - whichever feels most apt for the audience and setting.
-
I ground the talk in research and lived experience. I draw from existing evidence and conduct new research where needed, so the talk reflects more than just my voice. It is balanced, representative, relevant.
-
I weave story, insight and calls to action. The result is a compelling talk that leaves people thinking, feeling and ready to act.
-
I follow up. I check whether the talk had a tangible effect, knowing how easily momentum fades once people return to daily life.
-
Optional: We explore next steps. If it feels useful, we reflect on how the audience might carry the conversation forward - individually or collectively - using their own creativity, not mine. They are the experts in their own space.
Audiences I Support
I speak for organisations, teams and professional bodies who want to support their people in ways that honour both performance and humanity, and where meaningful impact matters.
My talks resonate with accounting and finance professionals, leaders navigating complexity, and teams working in fast-paced or evolving environments - especially where identity, emotion and human dynamics are recognised as part of the work.
