Speaking & live conversations

Bring the
conversation
into the room.

Keynotes and conversations about how we listen, lead, build trust and connect. For organisations, conferences and communities.

Start with the audience

What should people leave with?

A useful session starts with the people in the room and the conversation they need to have. My work as a relationship expert, interviewer, author and entrepreneur gives us several places to begin.

Tell my team who is coming, what they are facing and what you want the session to help them do. We can then discuss the right subject and format.

Speaking territories

A clear purpose for the room.

Relationships & communication

Listen with more intention.

For audiences exploring trust, connection and difficult conversations. A focus on recognising familiar patterns and considering how to approach the next conversation.

Leadership & culture

Help people feel heard.

For leaders and teams reflecting on how people relate at work. Explore the role of listening, belonging and everyday behaviour in the culture people experience.

Entrepreneurship

Build through relationships.

For founders, creative teams and people navigating change. Connect the discussion to the people, partnerships and decisions involved in building something.

Conversation & storytelling

Make room for the real story.

For events centred on an interview or discussion. Bring the listening and follow-up questions of We Need To Talk into a live conversation.

Formats to discuss

Shape the session around the occasion.

Keynote
A focused talk shaped around a clear audience brief.
In conversation
A hosted interview with room to explore the story.
Audience discussion
A moderated conversation with time for questions.
Location & access
UK, US and international enquiries; discuss in-person or virtual options.

Timing, format, accessibility needs and any recording or distribution requirements should form part of the initial brief.

From the conversation to the stage.

For my interviewing style, start with We Need To Talk. For current live appearances, the organisers list me as a keynote speaker at Go Mental 2026 and Employee Benefits Live 2026.

My team can discuss relevant footage and supporting materials for your event brief.
