Public Speaking and Presenting
Are you looking for a disabled speaker? Count me in!
From experience, I know that it’s the people who are storytellers who create the most impact. As a storyteller through and through, I love partnering with businesses, charities, and organisations to share my perceptions and facilitate meaningful conversations.
Over the years, I’ve led bespoke sessions for diverse audiences, hosted webinars, spoken on panels, presented and guested on podcasts, and even been let loose with my own TEDx talk. I’m also media trained, with on and off-screen experience in television and radio.
I know how to communicate important messages and leave a lasting impact, with the appropriate warmth and/or humour to truly engage an audience. I am not an embodiment of the classic ‘you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to!’ disability trope, nor am I a superhero. Instead, I’m a three-dimensional human being who emphasises staying true to yourself, finding creative solutions to the barriers you face, and the power of following nobody’s path but your own.
If you’ll have me, I’d love to share that with you. Scroll down to find out more about my subject expertise, and drop me an email at [email protected] if you’d like to chat!
