IWD 2024 Keynote - linked to global IWD themes of economic empowerment, women need to be engaged, provided opportunities and included, at every age, stage and phase in life. 

Bringing global research on barriers and biases women face at throughout each stage in life, the alarming conclusion is that there is no 'right time' or peak age for women's careers. 

This talk calls BS on accepting that; inspires the audience to: 

1. become more self-aware

2. call out ageism bias

3. take action in planning longer, more impactful careers, on their own terms.  

Available for a limited number of in-person and online presentations. 

Signature keynote on abolishing AGEISM. 

Bringing together current research from writing my next book of the same title  (expected launch - mid 2024),  it provides a thought-provoking, 3-phase, mindset change in how we approach to AGEISM and ageing: 

1.  Awareness of ageism bias

2. Embracing the ageing journey

3. Creating an audacious life on our own terms.

Content is developing and evolving, and includes global examples of generational inclusion and positive aging programs.

Ideal presentation for in-person events (conferences, forums, network functions),  online,  interactive presentations, and panel commentary.

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE - real, raw, and relatable.

Let's face it - most of us have had enough of the ‘fake’ stuff. You don’t have to look very far for current examples. I don’t use the saying ‘fake it ‘til you make it’; to me, that’s not being authentic.  

As a leader, people want to connect with the real you; the genuine version. People want to know WHO you are, before they get why you do what you do. Sincerity, not spin.

This signature keynote presentation inspires leaders to bring their ‘whole self’ to their roles, lead from their core, and provides 3 point strategy to become a more authentic leader.

LEADERSHIP topic.

SIGNATURE LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE - Be a trusted leader others choose to follow.

How do YOU become a more influential, change-driving leader? It starts with fostering an environment of trust.

In today’s volatile, fast-evolving world, having trusted leaders others will follow is vitally important. Trust is the glue that enables vibrant, engaged, flexible, autonomous and productive workplaces where people choose to work, feel valued, and stay.

This signature keynote presentation presents our proven 5 C's Leadership Trust formula, outllining the inside->out journey it takes to build trust from a place of self-awareness. 

An  ideal taster of our highly successful  6 month signature leadership program;  based on the same Leadership Trust formula.

LEADERSHIP topic.

Known as a Change Champion, disrupter of the status quo, having embraced many new chapters with gusto and enthusiasm; it’s no surprise that I speak positively about change.

I believe the world needs more courageous people who are willing to change the game, rather than puppets of entrenched practices.

This presentation is ideal as a challenging keynote or practical workshop, as it provides mindset frameworks based on neuroscience theory, on how to become more flexible, agile, a real gamechanger, and why that matters, long-term.

CHANGE / AGILITY / FLEXIBILITY topic

As a proud and practicing feminist since my early teens, and having broken through several brick walls in my time, I never expected that I would be still talking about the need for equal choices, equal opportunities, and equal rights for women – into this century. 

Joining the LEAN IN Global movement in 2013,  founding ElevateHER Australia in 2020, and Board Director - Australian Gender Equality Board since 2021, my #1 legacy-driven purpose is to address gender inequality in Australia. 

Expect bucket loads of passion. It’s personal, it’s purposeful, it's packed with current research data, and it’s unapologetically aimed to inspire and encourage women not to sit on the sidelines ... but to take their rightful seat at the decision-making tables.

GENDER EQUALITY topic

Inspiration is one thing, but turning that into actioning real change requires a fundamental shift in thinking, smashing fears that hold us back and unravelling entrenched illogical beliefs.

In this bold keynote [or expanded workshop series] I share my personally discovered 5 core igniters and strengtheners of inner personal power, that fuels confidence and courage to keep daring; now cheekily referred to in Part II of my book – Rock Your Stripes, as the *FAVE 5 formula.

(*Full-arse Version Essentials) 

GENDER EQUALITY / FEMALE PERSONAL POWER - CONFIDENCE & COURAGE focus

Feeling boxed in, choosing to blend with the rest, or just biding time? I know a thing or two about busting out of belittling confines, boldly challenging status-quo, and bravely standing up for what is right, fair, equitable, rich in opportunity, and good for our society. 

In this straight-shooting talk, I share personal development stories about boxes, boots and bull shit, and call out the four crappy C’s that you need to let go of, to courageously lead bold changes.

This topic is ideal as a lively interactive session (eg. conference round table discussions) or mini in-house workshop, evoking self-awareness and positive action.
