Speaking & Facilitation

Real stories. Not slides full of theory.

I speak and facilitate on strategy execution, adaptability and leadership — drawing on twenty-five years across energy, forestry, education and governance, and on 'the art and craft of getting it done,' the framework I've developed from that experience.

Sessions are built around real stories rather than slides full of theory: the Kraken Development Project, the six-word strategic intent that guided a $4 billion build, the private jet partnership a charity Board chose to decline, and the lessons a failed IT business in my twenties taught me about trust. Audiences leave with a framework they can use, not just a talk they enjoyed.
