Keynote & Guest Speaker

With extensive experience over 20 years as a Lecturer, researcher and author I combine evidence-based knowledge and experience in applying a pragmatic approach to help individuals and teams thrive in their professional and personal lives. Having juggled parenthood and Career commitments throughout my own life, I have first hand experience of the conflict and strain this can create. It is this combination of common sense and evidenced base information which makes these sessions meaningful and relatable.
