What I Offer

I am a dynamic and engaging speaker who brings a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to any stage. With a captivating presence and a passion for empowering others, I have the ability to connect with diverse audiences and leave a lasting impact. I have benefitted from leadership coaching and courses. What you don’t often get though, is exposure to lived experiences from other leaders, especially people who are still heavily involved in leading teams currently. That’s what I offer. I aim to stimulate thought and self-reflection in the audience. I speak at management and leadership courses, at team or company events, and events aimed at women in industry.

Business and personal experience has given me a variety of stories and advice to share. My talks suit aspiring leaders and new managers, up to senior level leaders. I have a lot to share with women in the workforce if you have an event focused on the women in your team.

My research has shown that new leaders want to hear memorable stories from successful leaders. They want insights into how that person got where they are today and how did they decide what kind of leader they wanted to be. Questions I get asked a lot are “how do I know if I am a good leader?” and “how do I get the balance right between life and work?” People want to hear stories ‘from the front line’. Seasoned leaders benefit from hearing how other leaders get the best out of themselves and their teams and feel motivated by light bulb moments to take away.

My #1 value as a leader is authenticity. My point of difference is recounting true stories and delivering advice and learnings derived from personal experience. Not as part of a full day or multiday coaching course, but in a punchy manner stimulating reflection and thought.

Having great leaders improves outcomes for your teams and for your organisation. Leadership roles can be lonely, so feeling supported & understood as a leader helps performance and well-being.

I formed Dirigo (Deer-ih-go) Leadership to offer support, guidance, motivation & inspiration to future & current leaders, and also to people juggling a busy career with a family. I want to give others the benefit of my experience and my learnings. I want to let people know you evolve as a leader and you need to challenge yourself to keep improving. People say ‘being a leader is lonely’. I’m there to let you and your team know you are not alone in what you face, both as a leader and in juggling a busy life.

Book me as your event speaker and let's create an unforgettable experience that will energize, educate, and empower your team.
