Need a confident speaker?
I’m often asked to take part in speaking engagements, training workshops and conferences on a variety of subjects in the storytelling field. This is something I enjoy doing and am skilled at. I have given guest lectures at universities, taken part in global panels and provided motivational and expert speeches. I have experience judging international storytelling competitions and being on boards and steering committees. I’ve had positive feedback to my motivational and inspirational speeches and workshops, and have been asked to speak on numerous podcasts about diversity and inclusion. I am good at chairing.
