Speaker

I love connecting with an audience, sharing my experience, personal stories and practical advice to inspire and motivate.

I cover a wide range of topics based on my personal experience and my professional expertise:

Individual Transformation:

Overcoming fear, embracing uncertainty, owning your power, identifying your purpose, changing your life, realising your dreams, finding your voice, taking action, making an impact. And any other topics covered in my book Fears to Fierce and the Step Into Your Power course.

Women and Leadership:

Feminist leadership; Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Female representation; Gender-based discrimination; Gender mainstreaming; Gender-bias; Trauma-informed leadership. And any other topics we offer for our bespoke in house courses.

Organisational Transformation:

How to start up an organisation, how to develop an effective fundraising strategy, how to grow your organisational advocacy profile, how to set up and run a network, how to set up and lead a Board of Trustees, how to manage conflict, how to manage change, how to run a value led organisation.

If the topic you are interested in is not listed above, get in touch and ask me about it.

Above all, my aim is to inspire the audience:

“When we allow ourselves to be inspired, to connect and see ourselves reflected in each other, everything changes. Our fear dissipates, inaction is no longer an option, and we know we will find a way.

The power of inspiration is infinite.”
