Speaking
As an accomplished and engaging speaker and facilitator, I regularly speak at conferences, meetup groups and internal events.
Topics I’m particularly passionate about include impostor syndrome, psychological safety and effective feedback, as well as coaching. I’m able to offer both talks and workshops on all these subjects.
Please get in contact if you’d like me to speak/facilitate at a company event, meetup or participate in a podcast.
