Keynote Speaking
Strategic Perspective. Real-World Resilience. No Fluff.
I speak to leaders and communications professionals operating where brand, reputation and leadership collide, and where they are often under pressure, scrutiny or rapid change.
​
As a dual-Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Chartered Institute of PR, and a visiting university lecturer, I bring academic rigour together with real-world experience from global, high-stakes communications environments.​​​
My sessions are practical, evidence-based and grounded in what actually happens on the ground: bridging theory and decision-making when the stakes are high.
Audiences value my calm, authoritative approach and the clarity I bring to complex challenges.
​
I regularly contribute to industry forums and events, delivering talks that provoke thinking, challenge assumptions and leave people with frameworks they can genuinely use.
​Signature Speaking Topics
The Crisis Blueprint: How to Expect the Unexpected
Reputation is an organisation’s most fragile asset. I share the strategies needed to build a culture of "Crisis Readiness," helping leaders identify hidden risks and develop the "safe pair of hands" needed to lead during live incidents.
Making the Leap to Leadership
A session designed for marketing and PR professionals looking to claim their seat at the boardroom table. I explore how to shift from "doing tasks" to "driving value," focusing on the soft skills and strategic frameworks required for senior leadership.
How to Speak "Better CEO": Aligning Marketing with the CEO’s Agenda
Often, there is a language barrier between the marketing suite and the C-Suite. I help senior marketers build stronger, more influential relationships with their CEOs and Board members by aligning communication strategies with commercial and fiduciary goals.
The 'Squiggly' Asset: Why Non-Linear Experience is a Boardroom Advantage
In a volatile market, the most valuable leadership assets aren't those who followed a straight line. In this session aimed at CEOs, Board members, and senior teams, I discuss why diverse, "squiggly" career backgrounds—spanning different sectors, roles, and continents—create the most resilient, adaptable, and innovative senior leaders.
Coming Soon: Comms & Neurodiversity
I am currently developing a new series of talks focused on Communications and Neurodiversity. This series explores how organisations can foster more inclusive, effective communication environments that empower neurodivergent talent and reach neurodiverse audiences more authentically.
