Speaking

Helping founders, leaders, and fractional professionals build resilient, future-proof businesses, without losing themselves in the process.

If you’re looking for a speaker who blends real experience with real talk, that’s where I come in.
I don’t teach theory, I teach what I’ve lived.

From a decade of running multiple businesses, building brands from scratch, supporting high-level leaders behind the scenes, launching Fractional Link, and writing The ‘I’ in Resilience, I bring practical, emotionally intelligent insight that helps audiences rethink how they work, lead, and thrive.

My sessions are designed to:
✔ Give clarity in the chaos
✔ Build resilience without burnout
✔ Challenge outdated ways of doing business
✔ Empower people to take meaningful action (not add more noise)
✔ Leave audiences feeling seen, understood and capable of more than they realised

Whether it’s a conference keynote, a workshop, or a fireside chat, my goal is always the same:
to offer guidance that lands, sticks, and genuinely changes how people show up.

1. The ‘I’ in Resilience™: Rewriting the Story You’ve Been Carrying

A powerful session based on my book. This talk explores:

  • Why resilience isn’t about “pushing through”

  • How comparison, pressure, and survival-mode thinking sabotage success

  • The emotional patterns that silently dictate decisions

  • How to build strength that feels sustainable — not punishing

  • What real, grounded resilience looks like in business and life

Perfect for: business owners, leaders, and anyone navigating intense seasons.

For founders and leaders who want to show up, but keep getting stuck.
In this talk I cover:

  • The fear of judgement and why it hits differently for business owners

  • How to build a visibility system that doesn’t rely on willpower

  • Practical, low-friction ways to become known for the right things
