Transforming workplace culture through data-driven human insights.
Keynote speaker.
From large business conferences where I aim to spark conversations and attempt to create meaningful change, to small sessions where we can dive deep into specific challenges. I also deliver virtual talks where appropriate
My talks are data-driven and served up with real-world insights, providing actionable takeaways rather than just theory.
If you're looking for a speaker I'd love to discuss your ideas and how I can contribute to your next event.
Workplace culture consultant.
My passion lies in cultivating work environments where individuals and groups can truly thrive.
I firmly believe that you can't simply "make" employees happy or engaged, my approach is to help create the right environment where the essential ingredients are readily available for employees to be happy, engaged and ultimately perform.
I love bringing energy and fresh perspectives to a wide range of events.
Whether it's guiding a corporate conference, hosting a lively awards ceremony, or engaging an audience at a public gathering.
My approach is always to tailor my delivery to suit the specific tone and goals of your event, making sure your message is delivered effectively and memorably.
Event host.
NED and board advisor.
I bring board-level expertise on subjects I specialise in, such as workplace happiness, employee engagement, performance and growth.
I approach advisory work from an entrepreneurial perspective, always looking for fresh angles and practical solutions in areas such as culture, brand and M&A.
I love working with teams to turn big ideas into actionable plans with lasting impact.
