Public Speaking

​The right speaker can make or break an event. You want someone who not only knows their subject, but who can connect with your audience, hold their attention, and leave them thinking differently long after the session ends. That’s exactly what I bring.

I’m an experienced public speaker who has delivered presentations, keynote addresses, fireside chats, and panel discussions to audiences of all sizes – from intimate round tables to conferences with thousands of delegates. I speak nationally and internationally, drawing on my background as a HR and OD specialist to share insights with expertise, passion, and a touch of humour. My style is conversational, engaging, and fun, while respecting the seniority and experience often present in the room.

Over the years I’ve been invited to speak at high-profile events including:

  • Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) – on the world of work post-9/11

  • HRD Summit Europe – on Strategic HR in a global context

  • Croner HR Summit – on the power of organisational values

  • Chairing CIPD Conferences – on wellbeing, diversity, and agility in changing times

Alongside these large-scale events, I’ve also delivered smaller workshops, facilitated leadership round tables, and contributed to think-tank style discussions – exploring the future of HR, shaping the profession, and helping organisations unlock greater value from their people.

What makes my talks different is the way I bring HR and OD theory to life through real-world stories and lived experience. I challenge audiences to think differently, give them practical takeaways they can use straight away, and above all – I make the experience enjoyable.

Whether you’re looking for a keynote speaker to energise a large audience, a panel contributor to bring depth and perspective, or a facilitator to spark discussion and insight, I can adapt to your needs.
