STORYTELLING SPEAKER & WORKSHOP FACILITATOR
Speaking & Facilitation
Rooms are full of people who already have the information.
What they need is a point of view.
SPEAKER & FACILITATOR
Let’s talk about it
I write for a living, which means I spend most of my time working out what a thing actually means before I know exactly how to say it. And that's the same job on a stage.
I speak about storytelling as a business function — why some brands land and most don’t, what happens when you find the words for what you believe, and where the ideas worth telling come from.
I'm based in Lennox Head, NSW, and I speak and facilitate in person and online across Australia and beyond.
My Key Topics
Every talk is built for the room it's going into — none of them are off the shelf. Topics I speak on (though I'm definitely not limited to them):
Key Topics:
From Attention to Interest
Attention can be bought. Interest must be earned. This topic looks at what changes for a brand when the goal shifts from reach to relevance — and why the businesses winning right now are the ones with something meaningful to say, not the ones talking the most.
Ideal for: marketing teams, founders, conference mainstage.
Key Topics:
Brand Voice for Real Humans
Most business owners write like a press release and talk like a person. This topic closes that gap. We look at why writing flattens people out, the habits that do the most damage, and how to get the version of you that shows up in conversation onto the page instead. Practical, hands-on, and everyone leaves with something rewritten.
Ideal for: business owners, in-house marketing teams, networking groups and industry associations.
Key Topics:
The Art of Noticing
The best content ideas don't come from content calendars. They come from the three minutes you spent watching someone interact with the barista. A practical session on training attention as a creative discipline — where to look, what to keep, and how raw material turns into stories worth publishing.
Ideal for: creative and content teams, founders, writers.

SPEAKING & FACILITATION
What It's Like
Before the day, I'll ask you what you want the room to feel by the end. Then I get to work and build the talk backwards from there.
On the day, I turn up early, I've read the run sheet, and I've thought deeply about who's sitting in front of me. I don't do five tips. I take a position, show my working, and make people laugh, because the truest things are usually weird and funny.
Afterwards, they'll have something they can use on Monday. And they'll remember what it felt like to be talked to like a person, not just an audience member.
Podcast Guesting
Give me a question and a curious host, and we'll end up somewhere neither of us saw coming.
If you have a podcast about business, womanhood, creativity, identity, writing, or midlife, here's where I'd love to take the conversation with you:
-
The moment someone opens a laptop and starts writing to impress instead of to be understood. What causes it, how to catch it in your own work, and the fastest way back to sounding like yourself.
-
The unguarded way women talk to each other versus the careful way they talk to clients. And why closing that gap is the most useful marketing move most brands never make.
-
What it actually takes to rebuild a career and a public identity in midlife. The parts nobody warns you about, and the advantages you only have because you didn't do this at twenty-five.
-
How personal style becomes a form of self-expression rather than a way to fit in. How the same instinct, once you trust it, runs through your wardrobe, your brand, and the way you show up online.
-
The shame so many women carry around money. Where it was handed to us, and how it followed us into adulthood — setting our prices and running our businesses without us even noticing.
-
How the over-responsibility we were handed as girls became the exact thing we built our careers on — and what it looks like to stop treating it as damage and start running the whole show with it.
Tell me about the room — when it is, who's in it, and what you're hoping will shift for them — and I’ll come armed with stories and strategies to ignite inspiration and action.
