I use my voice to enable others to find and use theirs.

Are you looking for:

  • Someone to challenge, inspire or reassure your team?
  • Someone with wisdom and experience who combines humour, positivity and pragmatism?
  • A researcher and practitioner with an established reputation in the field of wellbeing and self-care?
  • Someone adept at tailoring material, tone and messages to a range of audiences, both virtual and in-person?

I found my own voice about 10 years ago and have built up my public speaking skills over the years through courses and plenty of practice, with audiences in the UK and internationally, including headteachers, governors, new teachers and businesses. I am a TEDx Norwich Speaker.

I speak to share valuable knowledge and information, to inspire others to fight for what is right for them and their communities and to know they can be the best possible versions of themselves.

I host a podcast with Clemmie Stewart and regularly appear on others’ podcasts.

What I Can Offer

  • An initial conversation to understand your context and priorities and then tailoring the material accordingly
  • Research, ideas and strategies that are as pertinent beyond education as they are in schools.
  • Online and in-person delivery
  • Experience of working with small audiences and audiences of up to 1000.

You can book me for keynote speeches through Inspirational Speakers.
