I’m a keynote speaker for companies, organisations, conferences and events, exploring what it takes to navigate challenges, perform at our best and create meaningful change.

 

My perspective brings together a high-level corporate background, endurance sport and advocacy. I understand the pressures of professional life, the competing demands on our time and the challenge of turning ambition into action. I also know that the most powerful lessons mean little unless people can apply them to their own lives.

 

That combination shapes my approach: engaging stories, honest reflection and practical ideas, tailored to the people in the room.

 

A speaker who understands your audience

 

Having worked at a senior corporate level, I understand the world beyond the stage: organisational priorities, complex decisions, changing cultures and the expectations placed on leaders and teams.

 

My talks connect experiences of endurance and advocacy with the challenges audiences face every day. They go beyond 'keep pushing' to explore when to persevere, when to change direction, when to ask for support and how to make progress without losing sight of what matters.

 

Whether I’m addressing senior leaders, bringing a team together or contributing to a wider conversation, my aim is the same: to help people feel understood, challenge their thinking and leave them with something useful.

 

Speaking themes

 

Resilience: more than pushing through

What does it take to keep moving when the path becomes difficult or uncertain? Drawing on my world record challenges, I explore resilience as adaptability, self-awareness and the willingness to take the next step—not simply the ability to endure more.

 

High performance: ambition with purpose

What are we working towards, and what does success really mean? I explore preparation, mindset, setbacks and the choices behind sustained performance, looking beyond a single finish line to the habits and support that help us do our best.

​

Finding balance: making room for what matters

Ambition, work, family and personal goals can pull us in different directions. This is an honest conversation about competing priorities, boundaries and trade-offs—and finding a version of success that reflects our values rather than somebody else’s expectations.

 

Change through advocacy: turning conviction into action

Recognising a problem is only the beginning. I explore how to turn personal conviction into purposeful action: finding your voice, bringing people with you, challenging established thinking and staying committed when progress takes time.

 

Gender equity: moving from intention to action

How can we practically move beyond saying the right things to changing people’s experiences? Drawing on my work with SheRACES advocating for women’s participation and inclusion, I explore barriers, assumptions and the opportunities for leaders, organisations and individuals to make a meaningful difference.

 

Keynotes, conversations and more

 

I’m available for:

• Keynote speeches at conferences, company events and away days.

• Leadership and team sessions that connect personal experience with professional challenges.

• Panel discussions and fireside conversations.

• Events focused on women, inclusion and gender equity.

• Talks for sporting bodies, charities, community groups and other organisations

• Active events! I’m a qualified Run Leader and can design inclusive and engaging activities

 

Every engagement starts with understanding your audience, your objectives and the conversation you want to create. We can focus on a single theme or bring several together to develop a talk that feels relevant to your event – not an off-the-shelf speech.

 

Let’s start a conversation

If you’re looking for a speaker who combines corporate understanding with the perspective of an endurance athlete and advocate, I’d love to hear about your event.
