Speaking

Ignite audiences’ hope, empowerment & agency

Delivered with charismatic positivity and energy, my talks will help ignite feelings of hope and empowerment amongst your audience, boosting agency amongst individuals and growing agency levels across communities.

My preference is delivering talks in-person, however I can tailor sessions to an online format should you wish.

For event & conference organisers, I can:

  • Inject positivity, enthusiasm and community into your offer, leaving attendees feeling more inspired and more connected.

  • Weave in relevant, accessible and exciting sustainability content which shines a light on new perspectives and insights.

  • Make your programme stand out with a youth-led, nature-inspired contribution that will entice and enrich attendees. 

For business owners, organisation leaders, or workplace teams, I can:

  • Help you gain clarity on core sustainability themes, how these are relevant to your activities, and where the greatest opportunities for positive impact lie.

  • Improve your employee wellbeing, sustainability skillset, and retention through tackling feelings of disempowerment and exploring sustainability tools relevant to their work, altogether contributing to better mental health, senses of community, and happiness.

  • Boost your reputation amongst stakeholders through demonstrating a commitment to education for, and application of, sustainability principles.

For teachers, schools & universities, I can:

  • Design and deliver relevant, accessible, and exciting sustainability content for any subject, contributing to students’ awareness of key sustainability principles, development of future-focused skills and competencies, and insight into career pathways.

  • Improve the mental health and wellbeing of your students and staff, by sharing tools and resources that can help them address feelings of eco-anxiety or climate anxiety.

  • Help refine your sustainability agenda and activities by offering your management or working groups new perspectives on those sustainability themes most applicable to your operations, and where the greatest opportunities for positive impact lie.

My flagship talks 

Anxiety to Agency

An exploration of the relationship between our mental health, the climate and ecological crises, and wider sustainability challenges. Discover new tools, approaches and ways of thinking that can help address feelings of disempowerment, grow levels of agency, and build our emotional resilience. ‘Anxiety to Agency’ benefits individual wellbeing, organisational culture, as well as sustainability agendas.

What Madagascar taught me about Sustainability

Last summer, I travelled to Madagascar to fulfill my dream of seeing its wonderful wildlife, but the experience gave me so much more. From spending a month in this special country, I found myself enriched with new perspectives on sustainability - from seeing new levels of resourcefulness, to discovering the sheer diversity of natural medicines on offer to us, to experiencing the power of everyday people in standing up to bad leaders - and winning.

Sharing these reflections, and the implications of these experiences on my ways of thinking and doing back in the UK, has brought me newfound inspiration and purpose - I hope audiences will feel this too.

What can Nature teach us about Sustainability?

One of the greatest challenges of our time is that we have disconnected ourselves from the natural cycles and rhythms of the world around us - through doing so, we have overlooked the greatest source of inspiration for creating more sustainable approaches. Discover examples of where nature employs circular approaches, powerful interrelationships, and rapid recovery in the UK and beyond, that will inspire your sustainability activities.

Exploring our Orbits of Influence

Sustainability can be an overwhelming topic, and it can sometimes be hard to know how we can make a difference in our work or sector. But, if we explore how important sustainability themes are relevant to our work or interest area, identify the communities we are a part, consider the influences we have, and discover the co-benefits of taking action, we can feel more empowered and clear on how we can create positive impact.

 

Pricing: My talks are always tailored to the audience and given programme or setting, and so the pricing is variable. Please contact me to discuss your specific interests, ideas and needs.

 

Your challenge, my opportunity

Are you unsure where to start with sustainability? Perhaps there’s a theme you would like to include in your event’s agenda or organisation’s strategy, but you don’t know how to make it relevant? Or maybe you need an injection of positive, opportunistic thinking amidst a negative backdrop?

I have an array of experiences in creating bespoke, empowering content for different audiences, and am eager to design content for you that is relevant and builds upon shared values. Please contact me to discuss your specific interests, ideas and needs
