PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER & STORYTELLER
"It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling"
~ Khalil Gibran
I am a people-expert.
There are numerous companies hiring out professional speakers. So why choose me? What sets me apart is my deep understanding of people, and my deep desire to see people live purposeful and meaningful lives. People are born with an innate need for connection and belonging. We all deeply desire to be of value and to have this value acknowledged.
My talks are interactive, and heart centred. I specialise in guiding people in experiencing wholehearted aliveness and life enhancing connection. I model this by delivering energised, encouraging and engaging stories.
I pride myself on my ability to fine-tune my talks to meet the needs of each client, but through years of experience and exposure to a range of previous storytelling and workshop facilitation opportunities I have come to appreciate that there are certain topics that are universal to the human condition.
I am a storyteller who shares stories that deserve to be told. I am a master storyteller on the following topics:
-
Relationships
-
The Art of Connection
-
Empathy and Emotional Intelligence
-
Feminine Leadership & Empowerment
-
'Crossing the Bridge' Conflict Management
-
Self Care & Self Esteem
