speaking.

informing and entertaining.

I can MC or speak at your event – making everyone feel part of things while delivering (respectfully) humorous, engaging and memorable material with novel perspectives on the ways we communicate.

laughing and learning.

I love combining evidence-based information with humour and thought-provoking examples, so people feel engaged with the topic and with others in the room.

My favourite topics are the ones we label tricky or difficult.

Here are some of the talks I can deliver – I’d be happy to tailor something for your event so they include relevant stories and examples or address your challenges.

Topics

  • How to have difficult conversations

  • How your personal style can make you smarter

  • What comedians know about getting to the point (and how they do comedy even though most of them are painfully introverted)

  • The transformative power of sketching: non-sketchers can change the way they see the world and themselves
