I speak about workplace culture, creative leadership and what helps people perform well under pressure.
My talks draw on more than 20 years working across theatre, film, education and business, including building Team Kinetix and contributing to more than 40 English National Opera productions.
The stories come from real work: leading teams, preparing performers, recovering when plans change and learning how much difference a good manager can make. I keep the language straightforward and give audiences ideas they can use.
I also have a number of interesting stories from a colourful career across a number of industries.

Resilience
Being an adult and business owner through 2001, 2008, and 2020 has certainly taught me how to be reactive, and resilient in the face of whatever the world can throw at you. I'd love to share my learning with your network.

I work with businesses, creative teams, schools, charities and community organisations. Every session starts with a conversation about the audience, the challenge and what a useful outcome would look like.
If you are planning an event or team session, ask about availability, fees and a tailored outline.
