From a young age, I realized I was different—I loved speaking in public! While most people fear the spotlight, I thrived in it. Anytime I offered to get in front of a crowd, people eagerly accepted, relieved not to have to do it themselves.
I cut my teeth emceeing family events, from weddings to wakes, and I relished hosting company events like award nights, holiday parties, and official ceremonies. My love for speaking on stage only grew as I presented at numerous large conferences, participated in panel discussions, and delivered inspiring talks to diverse groups. As I’ve always said, I’ve never met a microphone I haven’t liked!
My talks are motivating, thought-provoking, and designed to inspire action. I focus on leadership topics that encourage self-reflection, empowerment, courage, and confidence. I also bring a touch of humour to every presentation.
I offer keynotes, workshops, and webinars. Whether speaking to large conference groups or smaller teams, both in person and online, I aim to connect and engage deeply with my audience.
Here’s a selection of my current topics and thought leadership:
THE OVERLOOKED POWER OF APPRECIATION
In this keynote, I address how genuine appreciation—recognizing and valuing people for who they are, not just what they do—can transform relationships, boost confidence, and foster a profound sense of belonging. Yet despite being abundant, free, and renewable, this powerful leadership tool is overlooked. This talk explores what appreciation is, why we avoid it and how to give it.
LEAD THE FUTURE THROUGH THE NEW LANGUAGE OF LEADERSHIP
Leading in today’s uncertain and tumultuous environment requires new skills and new mindsets. In this talk, I explore the five fluencies that will help you become a future-ready leader: 1) The Coach Mindset, 2) Clarity, 3) Communication, 4) Adaptability and 5) Empathy.
LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM TED LASSO
Whether you’ve seen the acclaimed TV show Ted Lasso or not, Jason Sudeikis’s character offers a masterclass in leadership. In this talk, I distill essential and timeless leadership lessons from Ted Lasso to help you lead effectively in today’s uncertain world.
LEADING BY INFLUENCE
As Leaders, we’re often called upon to lead by influence whether it’s managing up, working across functions, or collaborating with partners. In this talk, I discuss how you can build your influence by building the foundation first, adopting an influencer mindset, and using powerful questions instead of persuasive statements.
