KeyNote Talks
Be inspired by my journey!
I enjoy supporting women to find their voice and succeed in business. I like to inspire women to give themselves permission to pursue their passions despite cultural norms and social expectations.
In my talks, I want to enthuse women to embrace their discomfort zone and to boldly chart their own course, both personally and professionally. Drawing from my corporate time, I will share anecdotes and lessons from my own journey and weave in stories of the accomplished women I met in my coaching programs who have overcome roadblocks and made unconventional choices.
I will explore how to step into your power to make a meaningful difference while aligning with your deepest values and beliefs.
My KeyNote can be tailored to each speaking engagement whether an organisation initiative, a corporate event, or a leadership development intervention to ensure that I deliver against desired outcomes and audience, including:
Embracing P&L experience
How Women Can Claim their Financial Independence
Empowering Women Leaders
Succeeding in Career Transition
Overcoming Obstacles and Challenges.
