Motivational Speaker on Leadership, Brand and Transformation

Talks, keynotes and workshops for conferences, internal events and team sessions

Lecturer, Speaker, Panel member, Trainings, Workshops

I speak on leadership, self-development, brand, transformation and meaningful work. My talks are designed to create reflection, energy, clarity and practical movement, whether the audience is a leadership team, a company-wide event, or a group navigating change.

Why have me over to inspire your teams and audiences at events? Because I don’t  speak from theory but from lived experience. My slides (if I use any) only have 1 word on them and I don’t do a “1 size fits all”.

Below are examples of talks and sessions I have delivered for different events, brands and organisations. Content is always tailored to the audience, setting and goal of the session.

The Power of Intention talk visual

Intention is Everything

Stick! The word a runner says to the next one on a relay. Right now you have the baton, it is your time. Can you as single individual make a difference? Absolutely yes. This session is about how to change the game in complex and competitive environments, with a great sense of purpose, even against all odds. It all starts with Intention. We have opportunity, time, resources, influence and power. What will you do with it?

Debunking career myths

It is absolutely possible to design the career we would love to have.  But how to get there, realistically? Don’t  expect guidance on 5 year plans, vision boards and grand statements. Or advice on blind pursuing of dreams and purposes. This session is all about debunking some myths around work, career and success, providing with practical tips to get from where we are, to where we want to be.

Making a difference

Do you want to have an impact? Most likely the best place is exactly where you are. You can actually influence more than you think and we all can affect change, no matter at what level we are in the company. We will cover some fundamental guidance on how to deal with daily complexity and politics and we will learn about the 3Ps: How Patience, Preparation and Perseverance are the key to bring internal transformation and a great sense of achievement.

Start doing what you love

This inspirational talk/masterclass is for those who don’t want to wish they would have made a shift sooner. I will be challenging the beliefs that are holding us back from taking the leap. After this session you will feel reassured to get moving, inspired to make small incremental changes daily that will take you forward. No matter where you are at.

From Storytelling to Story-doing talk visual

Doing better, telling better

The proposal of this talk is to encourage brands and marketers to go from storytelling to story-doing: first doing something from the core of the business that provides meaning, solves something, adds value and only your brand can sign. And only then talk and tell and how this approach leads to better business results.

Meaning and Purpose

How do you shift from being me-too and unloved to transforming perception and preference? A real, practical journey of how to transform a brand to a purposeful, meaningful space.

The Trend Is Not Your Friend talk visual

Navigating trends

Are we jumping to the latest trend?  Or are we being consequent with the development of our brand and  business? Performance marketing, short term focus, extreme competition and way too much content being produced is not helping. How do we navigate this?

Compelling Stories

How to influence culture and bring meaning to a brand through storytelling. No matter what position or level, we all can use the power of storytelling to deliver a compelling message about our company both internally and externally.
