AUTHENTIC PRESENTER

Delivering REAL and RAW stories to INSPIRE change, IGNITE growth, and INFLUENCE positive actions.


I regard it an absolute privilege to share what I know to help others grow; my stories and learnings from a broad range of life and leadership experiences, along with latest research on gender and generational inclusion.


One of my ‘must have’ values is Authenticity - [also my original keynote topic].

I believe in bringing the REAL me to the stage, with RAW courage, fully present, bucket loads of passion and purpose to inspire others to be their full-version.


Authenticity builds trust.


With 30+ years’ experience in lead roles and countless presentations, I comfortably speak from a variety of platforms - conference stages, in-house venues, online live or recorded sessions. I started spruiking about stuff that needed to change from my teenage years, and whenever I got the chance.


But these days - it's way more professionally crafted, on-point, and impactful

 KEYNOTE TOPICS

  • 🎤 Signature Keynote - EOI at every Age, Stage & Phase of LIfe

    Signature Keynote - linked to global longevity research and improving economic security, this is a call to action for women to be engaged, open to opportunities and included, at every age, stage and phase in life. 


    It starts with awareness of the barriers and biases women face throughout each stage in life, and ends with the alarming conclusion that currently there is no 'right time' or peak age for women's careers. 


    This talk calls BS on accepting that; inspires the audience to: 

    1. become more self-aware

    2. call out ageism bias

    3. take action in planning longer, more impactful careers, on their own terms.  


    Ideal thought-provoker for in-person events and online presentations. 



  • 🎤 IMPACTFUL - not Invisible

    Signature keynote on abolishing AGEISM. 


    Bringing together current research from writing my next book of the same title  (expected launch - 2025),  it provides a thought-provoking, 3-phase, mindset change in how we approach to AGEISM and ageing

    1.  Awareness of ageism bias

    2. Embracing the ageing journey

    3. Creating an audacious life on our own terms.


    Content is developing and evolving, and includes global examples of generational inclusion and positive aging programs.


    Ideal presentation for in-person events (conferences, forums, network functions),  online,  interactive presentations, and panel commentary.



  • 🎤 FAVulous YOU

    Inspiration is one thing, but turning that into actioning real change requires a fundamental shift in thinking, smashing fears that hold us back and unravelling entrenched illogical beliefs.


    In this bold keynote [or expanded workshop series] I share my personally discovered 5 core igniters and strengtheners of inner personal power, that fuels confidence and courage to keep daring; now cheekily referred to in Part II of my book – Rock Your Stripes, as the *FAVE 5 formula.


    (*Full-arse Version Essentials) 


    GENDER EQUALITY / FEMALE PERSONAL POWER - CONFIDENCE & COURAGE  to lead change 

  • 🎤 Bust Out - Bold Up

    Feeling boxed in, choosing to blend with the rest, or just biding time? I know a thing or two about busting out of belittling confines, boldly challenging status-quo, and bravely standing up for what is right, fair, equitable, rich in opportunity, and good for our society. 


    In this straight-shooting talk, I share personal development stories about boxes, boots and bull shit, and call out the four crappy C’s that you need to let go of, to courageously lead bold changes.


    This topic is ideal as a lively interactive session (eg. conference round table discussions) or mini in-house workshop, evoking self-awareness and positive action. 


    GENDER EQUALITY / FEMALE CONFIDENCE, COURAGE & CHANGE focus


  • 🎤 Authenticity Matters

    SIGNATURE KEYNOTE - real, raw, and relatable.



    Let's face it - most of us have had enough of the ‘fake’ stuff. You don’t have to look very far for current examples. I don’t use the saying ‘fake it ‘til you make it’; to me, that’s not being authentic.  


    As a leader, people want to connect with the real you; the genuine version. People want to know WHO you are, before they get why you do what you do. Sincerity, not spin.


    This signature keynote presentation inspires leaders to bring their ‘whole self’ to their roles, lead from their core, and provides 3 point strategy to become a more authentic leader.


    LEADERSHIP topic.

  • 🎤 Agility Matters

    Known as a Change Champion, disrupter of the status quo, having embraced many new chapters with gusto and enthusiasm; it’s no surprise that I speak positively about change.

     

    I believe the world needs more courageous people who are willing to change the game, rather than puppets of entrenched practices.


    This presentation is ideal as a challenging keynote or practical workshop, as it provides mindset frameworks based on neuroscience theory, on how to become more flexible, agile, a real gamechanger, and why that matters, long-term.


    CHANGE / AGILITY / FLEXIBILITY topic

     

  • 🎤 Influential Leadership

    SIGNATURE LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE - Be a trusted leader others choose to follow.


    How do YOU become a more influential, change-driving leader? It starts with fostering an environment of trust.


    In today’s volatile, fast-evolving world, having trusted leaders others will follow is vitally important. Trust is the glue that enables vibrant, engaged, flexible, autonomous and productive workplaces where people choose to work, feel valued, and stay.


    This signature keynote presentation presents our proven 5 C's Leadership Trust formula, outllining the inside->out journey it takes to build trust from a place of self-awareness. 


    An  ideal taster of our highly successful  6 month signature leadership program;  based on the same Leadership Trust formula.


    LEADERSHIP topic.



 Presented this thought-provoking talk as part of the Cairns Tropical Writers' Festival, on my favourite day of the year - International Women's Day.

 Awesome experience to interview best-selling author - Clementine Ford at the Cairns Tropical Writers Festival. Her book: 'I DON'T' is a must-read for every teenage girl.
