Speaking & Keynotes
Changing how we think about thinking
Different ways of thinking influence how we learn, communicate, solve problems and lead. Yet many of our workplaces and learning environments are still shaped by assumptions about how people should think and perform.
Drawing on over 15 years of experience in dyslexia, alongside my own experience as a dyslexic thinker, I encourage audiences to:
Question familiar assumptions
Recognise strengths and different perspectives
Rethink how we work, learn and lead
Speaking topics
Rethink How You Work
Are We Measuring Capability or Conformity?
Are we recognising people's capabilities, or how well they meet our expectations?
Through stories and real-world examples, this keynote explores how workplace practices can influence the capabilities we recognise and the opportunities people have to contribute.
The Value of Dyslexic Thinking
What Are We Missing?
What might we be overlooking when we don't fully understand dyslexic thinking?
This keynote explores the strengths, perspectives and different approaches dyslexic thinkers can bring, challenging audiences to look beyond familiar perceptions of dyslexia.
Presentations can be tailored for conferences, business and leadership events, education and professional gatherings.
My Approach
I draw on personal experience, professional knowledge and stories from the people I've worked with.
My aim isn't simply to share information. It's to help people see something differently and leave thinking about what they could do differently.

If you’re exploring coaching, organisational advisory or educator training, I’m happy to talk through what you need. You don’t need to have everything figured out — a short conversation is often the best place to start.
