Speaking
How I work with clients
I take the time for a full briefing call with you to understand your audience and your outcomes
I want to understand more about your high-pressure environment, so I’ll ask you to share some insights
We’ll dig deep into your organisation to understand your mission and vision, your pressure points, current challenges people are facing and how you would like to support them
I’ll ask to talk to people who will be in the audience to understand their point of view, as well as the organisers’ point of view
I’m always happy to support you in promoting your event, whether you’re looking for a video teaser, a guest blog post, social media posts or something else you have in mind
I’ll share my clear client process to take you through the whole journey from enquiry to post-event reflection and feedback
I endeavour to respond to emails within one working day so you’re not waiting for information or answers
You’ll have your own personal link to access my calendar, so you can check my availability for upcoming events and book in for calls or meetings as needed

Be More Butterfly: Closing the Congruence Gap
Building leadership resilience and authenticity that drives retention, engagement and performance
1. Understand and Close the Congruence Gap
Your audience will learn how to identify the “gap” between how they feel inside and how they show up on the outside: the congruence gap. It’s like a tug‑of‑war between the authentic self and the adaptive self. They will discover how closing that congruence gap creates clarity, calm, and credibility.
2. Three Power Pauses: Pause • Notice • Align
The audience will learn three practical, powerful, but simple science‑based tools that help them move from emotion‑driven reactions to intentional, values‑based responses in real time.
3. Lead from Strength, Not from Strain
The audience will leave knowing that conscious leadership is really about showing up authentically, aligning how they feel inside with external action in a helpful and sustainable way. This shift from running on strain to leading from strength enhances wellbeing, performance, and trust across teams and relationships.
Soft Skills, Strong Results: From Hard Work to Smart Leadership
Creating more conscious leadership for retention, engagement and performance
1. A mindset shift from effort to awareness:
Leaders see that real strength comes from leading consciously rather than working harder. This shift from from hard work to smart leadership is achieved by activating awareness, empathy, and adaptability as performance drivers.
2. A practical “soft‑skills workout” for real results
Through simple, everyday reps in self‑awareness, mindset, empathy, and adaptability, leaders discover how small, consistent actions build the true muscles of retention, engagement, and performance.
3. A sustainable framework that sustains culture and results
Your audience will leave with the four foundations of conscious leadership: awareness, mindset, relationships, and adaptability, along with a clear roadmap to shift from autopilot to intention, creating resilient teams and measurable business outcomes.
From Compliance to Congruence: Building cultures where every mind thrives
Beyond policies and performance metrics to create psychologically safe cultures where difference fuels innovation
1. Understanding the Mental Load of Masking
Your audience will gain insight into how common professional norms unintentionally force neurodivergent people to mask their authentic patterns and discover how reducing the congruence gap improves creativity, trust, and retention.
2. Lead with the Brain in Mind: Applied Neuroscience for Neuroaffirming Inclusion
Your audience will explore Dr Sarah Whyte’s evidence-based framework of Recognise · Regulate · Respond. This framework uses emotional and cognitive neuroscience to help leaders shift from reactive to reflective, supporting sensory needs and diverse communication styles.
3. Design for Difference: Creating Systems of Psychological Safety
Your audience will understand the power of applying conscious leadership principles to redesign meetings, feedback, and performance systems so every neurotype can thrive. They will leave with actionable strategies to move from one-size-fits-all management to environments that balance wellbeing, innovation, and inclusion through intentional, brain-friendly design.
