​​
I design and facilitate workshops for teams and organisations navigating the realities of modern leadership. I also speak at conferences and events.
​
Practical, psychologically informed insights that support better thinking, decision-making, and the emotional and relational demands of modern working life.
Work with me: speaking & workshops
Examples of speaking and workshop themes
​​Below are illustrative examples of the kinds of work I’m often invited to design and deliver.
All sessions are adapted to context, audience, and organisational needs.​
They can be designed and delivered as a standalone sessions or adapted into wider leadership and development programmes.
​
​Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
How emotional intelligence shapes everyday leadership behaviour​
​
​
​​​A practical exploration of how emotional intelligence supports everyday leadership, not as a personality trait but as a set of behaviours that shape relationships, decisions, and impact.
This workshop creates space for leaders to reflect on how they currently show up with their teams, clients, and stakeholders, and to identify meaningful shifts in how they relate, communicate, and lead.
​
This session balances psychological insight with real-world application, grounded in participants’ own experiences of leadership.
​
This session supports leaders to:
​
-
Make better decisions by understanding the emotional data at play
-
Strengthen working relationships through increased self-awareness
-
Respond more thoughtfully under pressure rather than reactively
​
The work is informed by established emotional intelligence research and frameworks, including the EQ-i 2.0 model.
​
​Leading Through Uncertainty
Finding your footing when the ground keeps shifting​
​
This session uses a practical framework to explore different ways of working with uncertainty.
​
​​​​A psychologically informed exploration of what it means to lead when familiar ways of working no longer apply and the ground keeps shifting.
​​
This session looks at how our brains are wired to avoid the unknown, even when uncertainty also creates space for learning and possibility. Leaders are invited to reflect on how uncertainty shows up for them and how it shapes their thinking, behaviour, and relationships.
It offers a way of making sense of uncertainty without rushing to premature clarity or control.
​
This session supports participants to:
​
-
Recognise the difference between unsafe and safe uncertainty
-
Make sound decisions with incomplete information
-
Lead themselves and others with greater steadiness​​
​
​The Inner Critic Unpacked
Understanding the inner voice that shapes confidence and performance
​
​​​An exploration of the inner critic and the role it plays in how people think, decide, and show up at work, particularly in demanding or high-expectation environments.
​
This session examines how self-criticism develops, how it shows up in patterns such as over-preparing, procrastination, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or difficulty delegating, and how these patterns quietly shape behaviour, confidence, and effectiveness. Participants are invited to look closely at their own relationship with self-criticism and the impact it has on how they work and relate to others.
​
The work creates space to rethink confidence and self-trust, and to relate differently to self-criticism, without treating it as a flaw to be fixed.
​
This session supports participants to:
​​
-
Recognise how self-criticism influences behaviour and confidence
-
Create distance from unhelpful inner patterns
-
Work with greater clarity, steadiness, and self-trust
