Keynote Speaking
“She’ll be right”. Not when it comes to people.
We’ll happily invest in new systems, then number 8 wire the people side and hope it holds. My talks are about what to do instead.

The programme
For conferences and offsites where you want people to leave with something they'll actually use on Monday.
I’ve been around the traps a few times, as a COO, a Head of HR and a consultant, and I’ve seen the same things trip teams up again and again. My talks draw on those real stories, including the ‘she’ll be right’ habit of hoping people issues will sort themselves out. Good for conferences, leadership offsites, team events or end-of-year gatherings.
What you will walk away with
- A team with fresh energy and a new way of looking at things
- Real stories people recognise from their own work
- A few clear ideas they can use the next day
This is for you if
- You want a session that lands, not one that just fills a slot
- Your leaders are in the middle of big change and need a fresh way of looking at it
- You want practical takeaways, not motivational fluff
- You’re marking a moment: a strategy launch, a merger, or the end of the year
People issues rarely sort themselves out. A good conversation in the room can start to shift them.
How it works
- 01
Brief
We talk through your audience, the theme of the event and what you want people thinking or doing differently afterwards.
- 02
Tailor
I build the session around that brief, drawing on my research and work with leadership teams, including The Cohesion Continuum.
- 03
Deliver
A 30 to 60 minute keynote, in person or online, with practical tools your leaders can use immediately.
What’s included
- Session content tailored to your audience and theme
- Practical tools and techniques your leaders can use immediately
- Pre-event briefing with the organiser
