Speaking

Workshops, coaching & inspirational talks

Would you love to inspire a culture change in your team? Perhaps you’re worried about staff retention and burnout? Or you’ve heard about Compassionate Leadership, but don’t know where to start?

If you’re looking for a guest speaker or panelist for an event or podcast on the subject of boundaries, transformation, building compassion, compassionate leadership or the inner critic, I’d love to hear from you.

 
 

Great leadership starts on the inside.

 In order to lead well, you need to know yourself. You also need to be willing to know and understand the needs of your team, your clients, and your community.

Previous Appearances

It’s not easy to be a leader!

And it’s not easy to find time for self-care when you’re busy and overwhelmed.

During the past 5 years I’ve been providing workshops, coaching and inspirational talks for a wide range of organisations including  Health Education England,  Hospital Trusts, Therapists, Advertising Agencies, Pharmaceutical Companies, and Westminster Insight.

Organisations that see the value in investing in people, to encourage personal growth and staff wellbeing.  The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with repeat bookings from everyone I’ve worked with.
