Talks, hosting, lectures & podcasts
I am an experienced public speaker, radio host, event host and facilitator.
There are two ways I participate in events:
Participating in corporate and industry events, as a moderator, MC, keynote speaker or workshop facilitator. Most of these engagements are managed through my agents at Rabbit and Lion.
As an author and advocate, I am invited to present keynotes, participate in discussions and chair panels related to my key areas of impact, drawing on my writing and experience. For these engagements, contact me directly via the contact form.
