A VOICE OF EXPERIENCE

Speaking

Practical Insight.

From 30 years in Adland and Marketing leadership roles

Panels, Pods and More.

I speak at industry events, podcast interviews and frequently participate on judging panels.

My experience working across multiple industries, three continents and agency and client-side – with my frank style- helps create a colourful discussion.

I also have strong views on leadership style, women in leadership and nurturing talent.

Honest discussion.

I have a very open style and share the reality and lessons I have learned.

Story-teller.

I am no lifestyle guru, but my stories and experiences are relatable and raw.

And for something a bit different.

I have never followed the conventional path. As well as my career taking me across continents, I have thrown in a lot of 'outside work' challenges to keep things interesting.For example, running across the Australian outback. This run across The Simpson Desert completely changed my outlook on life and work. An experience I am happy to share.
