Keynote Speaker & Corporate Workshops That Outlast the Day Itself
Delivering Corporate Workshops in Person across the UK. Online, Anywhere in the World.
Developing technical skills matters, but technical training will only get your people so far. Your people are more than their skillset; they're complex, messy, dedicated, beautiful humans, and that's exactly what makes your company what it is.
Invest in them as people, not just performers, and watch what happens to retention, confidence and engagement.
The people I work with don’t leave my sessions with a page of notes and a nice feeling that fades by Monday. They leave having started doing the work. That’s the difference between a session that fills an hour and one that changes how someone shows up for the next ten years.
I want everyone I work with to reach the end of their days thinking “Holy cow! What a ride!”, not “I wish I’d been braver…”. As a keynote speaker and corporate workshop facilitator, that’s not a soft ambition. It’s what drives every workshop, keynote and coaching conversation I design, and it’s why organisations like the NHS, Pfizer, Royal London, Bloomberg and Cancer Research UK have commissioned me.
From an online session for over 2,700 NHS staff to global audiences through Pfizer’s Resource Global Women’s Network, covering topics from resilience to leadership and beyond, I create the kind of rooms where people find their honesty and courage. And your retention, engagement and productivity feel the effects long after I’ve left.
What do you offer?
I work both online and in-person and can work with you and your team or organisation in the following ways:
- Masterclasses and Workshops – inspiring, engaging and interactive sessions with impact
- Keynote talks – for the big room moment, when you need people to leave differently than they arrived
- Action Learning Sets – creating strong, supportive spaces for small groups to tackle real problems together over time
- 1:1 Executive Coaching – one-to-one support from someone with no stake in the politics of your organisation
Why work with me?
When I interviewed Martha Kearney in front of over 100 people for the NHS London Women’s Leaders Network, she offered me a job afterwards. I’m still coaching people instead of interviewing people on BBC Radio 4, but I’ll take it as a sign I’m doing something right.
I’ve been speaking in front of rooms that range from a handful of leaders to thousands online for around 10 years, and what people tell me afterwards isn’t “that was nice”, it’s that they’re still thinking about it weeks later.
My style is honest, funny and a little bit humble, and never polished for the sake of it. I build trust fast, which means delegates find their own courage and honesty in the room rather than just watching mine.
And I’m not chasing an ‘on the day’ reaction; I set the expectation for delegates that this in’t about ‘solutions in an hour’, it’s about people leaving with something that’s still growing and developing for them months later.
Why this investment makes sense
Organisations already spend heavily on technical and professional development. What’s harder to build internally is the human side of it, the thing that actually determines whether people stay, grow and lead well. That’s what this work addresses.

Going Deeper: For organisations wanting something more sustained, the Career Confidence Series delivers eight connected one-hour sessions that build on each other over time, from £12k. It’s the difference between a single moment of impact and genuinely embedding change across a cohort.
What do you talk about?
Here’s a flavour of the workshops and masterclasses I run most often. Consider it a starting point, not a menu. Every session gets shaped around what your people actually need.
Tell me what’s going on in your organisation or network, and we’ll figure out together what would land best.
What people ask me for most:
Around seven in ten people experience imposter syndrome at some point, and it doesn’t discriminate by seniority. This session unpacks what the inner critic actually is, why it shows up loudest at exactly the wrong moments, and how it fuels self-doubt even in people who look, from the outside, entirely sure of themselves.
– Understand the psychology behind imposter syndrome and self-doubt
– Leave with practical tools to challenge the inner critic and take up more space
Resilience has become one of the most talked-about topics in workplace wellbeing, but it’s often framed in a way that makes people feel like they’re failing if they’re not constantly “bulletproof.” This session challenges that, exploring what sustainable resilience actually looks like, and how individual resilience connects to team and leadership resilience too.
- Build a personal resilience framework grounded in reality, not rhetoric
- Understand the leadership and team dimensions of resilience
The most consistent leaders aren’t the loudest in the room, they’re the ones who know themselves. This session helps people get clear on their core values, strengths and sense of purpose, and use that clarity as an internal compass for better decisions and more authentic leadership, especially under pressure.
– Clarify personal values and translate them into everyday leadership behaviour
– Build the confidence to lead consistently, even in complex situations
Confident communication isn’t about volume, it’s about self-trust. This session explores why capable, talented people still hold back in meetings and high-stakes conversations, and what needs to shift internally to move from self-doubt to real self-expression.
– Identify the internal barriers getting in the way of confident communication
– Leave with practical frameworks for clearer, more assured workplace communication
High-pressure environments mean tough days are inevitable, and this workshop won’t pretend otherwise. What it offers instead is a set of accessible, practical tools that help people navigate pressure sustainably, built through personal reflection and exercises that work for teams too.
– Build a personal toolkit for sustainable wellbeing at work
– Develop a practical approach to managing pressure without burning out
For organisations wanting sustained, structured development across a cohort, the Career Confidence Series delivers eight connected one-hour sessions that build on each other over time. For organisations who want change that compounds, not just a single great session.
The programme covers imposter syndrome, communication, boundaries, resilience, authenticity, procrastination, and talking about your achievements to progress with confidence.
