Speaking
My talks explore ambition, success, identity and pressure - how they shape the way we think and lead, and what it takes to perform sustainably over time.
My perspective comes from senior corporate roles, coaching leaders, executive education and endurance sport. I bring those worlds together in talks that are grounded in real experience and designed to be useful.
Audiences will leave challenged, energised and with something they can use.
Selected keynotes
High-Stakes Leadership
Leadership gets harder as pressure, responsibility and complexity build. This keynote explores what sustainable leadership really requires, and why being able to keep going is not the same as leading well.
Presence Under Pressure
Presence is not about charisma, extroversion or feeling confident in all situations. It is about the experience others have of us, particularly when the pressure rises. This keynote helps people notice what changes for them in those moments and make small, practical changes to how they communicate and respond.
Sustainable Ambition
What happens when you have spent years being good at achieving? This keynote explores ambition, success, status and identity and what happens when old measures of success stop fitting quite as well as they once did.
It is about keeping the ambition, while getting clearer about what success means now.
What audiences can expect
I bring warmth, energy and a strong sense of connection to the room. I use personal stories and real experience and I keep the ideas practical.
I want people to leave challenged, energised and with something useful; a different perspective, a question they keep thinking about, or one practical thing they want to do differently.
If you’re looking for a speaker who can bring a fresh perspective on performance, pressure, ambition and leadership, get in touch.
I’m happy to shape a talk around your audience, event and what you want people to take away.
