Effective collaboration is the most important element of success, whether you’re striving to grow a company or you’re voyaging across an ocean or tundra. Without real collaboration both endeavours are bound to fail.

Still have questions?

I understand how stressful and intensive it can be organising an offsite or conference. On top of that, you’re trying to make sure your audiences are engaged and that your LT’s expectations are also met.

In order to make the process a little less stressful for you, if you are not 100% satisfied with my performance or professionalism, I am happy to provide your company a 100% refund to you on the entire keynote fee* (excludes travel and accommodation).

Absolutely not! Every month I am traveling around the world speaking to audiences in different countries around the world. Over the past 10 years I have been fortunate enough to speak in 22 different countries.

Anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours.

There is huge flexibility in how I deliver the keynote to your audience. Messages can be either implicit (anecdotal based) or direct.

It is very important to me that I deliver a keynote that is relevant to your organisation and current challenges or themes. After the keynote is locked in, we will schedule a detailed design call which serves the purpose of giving me the opportunity to understand your organisation, the conference and what specifics you are after from my session.

I have spoken to every leading financial institution in Australia and organisations from hairdressers to jewellery companies! My keynotes are more centred around “universal human truths” than hardcore adventure. It is impossible not to be moved by my story.
