Authentic storytelling that makes a difference

Hi, I am Lucy!

Some people call me the "pocket rocket". I think that is because I have passion and energy to bring out the best in an audience.

I have been working with audiences for almost 25 years in many guises - Lecturer, radio presenter, drama teacher, children's entertainer (I have been a professional fairy) facilitator, compare and speaker.

As a speaker I believe there has to be some substance behind us and I sure have that too. Not being able to settle and always saying "YES" to opportunities has led to a whole lot of experience that informs my work and my presentations.

At my core I am a purpose led social entrepreneur who loves to start a conversation about topics that matter.

I start those conversations with stories some that will surprise and some that will inspire. I talk about some difficult stuff and combine my unique expertise and knowledge.

Relatable, authentic and thought provoking

Neurodiversity

What is your perspective?

I come from a range of different perspectives when I talk about neurodiversity. From pedagogy, organisation development and leadership, research, personal and family and real lived experience. With a a strengths based approach I talk positively and with passion about change and neurodiversity in work, school and community.

I engage audiences to get them thinking and start conversations that will make and does make a lasting difference.

Change Management

Let me meet you at your

bus-stop

In the world of change management, it's not about imposing a new route; it's about understanding where you're starting from.

I have spent a decade working with senior leaders in transformational change where I have learned that change is often an individual journey and we will all join that journey from a different bus-stop.

I combine theory with reality and always have an eye on the future.

Life Stories

The secret change agent

A wealth of stories based on real lived experience with plenty of lessons for the future. Spilling some my secrets on here would be giving away some of my best work which you will want to hear straight from the source.

Oh, okay, let's just say I can talk about resilience, royalty, and some really fun stuff from a career in international law enforcement,

Social Enterprise

Making a difference - the torch that lights the stars

Lighting people up to make sustainable change happen is a big part of what I do. From setting up a community radio station to developing an innovative and groundbreaking conference around digital wellbeing and young people.

I talk the talk and walk the walk when it comes to social enterprise, from grass roots to engagement at the highest levels right up to Downing Street.

Inclusive Fitness: A Groundbreaking Course for Neurodiversity & Exercise

The world of fitness is changing, and it’s about time. For too long, traditional training approaches have left neurodivergent individuals overlooked, creating unnecessary barriers to health and wellness. But what if you could be part of the change?

Introducing Inclusive Fitness: Neurodiversity & Exercise—a first-of-its-kind training program that equips coaches, leaders, and fitness professionals with the tools to make fitness truly accessible. This is more than just a course; it’s a movement to empower the neurodiverse community and transform the way we approach health and fitness.

Why This Course? Why Now?

As someone who has lived with Tourette’s syndrome for 27 years, coached over 100 neurodivergent clients worldwide, and navigated the highs and lows of both fitness and life, I’ve seen the gaps in our industry firsthand. Neurodivergent individuals face unique challenges, but their potential is limitless when supported correctly.

This course brings together everything I’ve learned from my personal journey, professional achievements, and even the failures that have shaped my approach. It’s a comprehensive resource designed to address the real-world needs of neurodivergent clients while giving fitness professionals the skills to create lasting change.

What Is Inclusive Fitness: Neurodiversity & Exercise?

Inclusive Fitness is an 8-module training program that goes beyond the basics. It’s designed to provide actionable insights, practical strategies, and confidence for working with neurodivergent clients. Here’s what makes it special:

Who Is This Course For?

• Fitness professionals looking to expand their expertise.

• Health coaches who want to make their practices more inclusive.

• Leaders in gyms, studios, and fitness facilities seeking to create welcoming environments.

What’s Covered in the Course?

Each module dives deep into topics that matter, such as:

• Understanding neurodiversity and its impact on exercise.

• Adapting fitness programs for clients with autism, ADHD, Tourette’s syndrome, and more.

• Practical tips for creating sensory-friendly environments.

• Communication strategies to build trust and connection.

• The business benefits of inclusivity and expanding your client base.

Why Does This Course Matter?

Because fitness is for everyone. Neurodivergent individuals deserve spaces where they feel safe, empowered, and understood. By gaining the knowledge and skills this course provides, you’ll not only make a difference in your clients’ lives—you’ll also enhance your own professional impact and expertise.

The Impact You Can Make

Imagine creating a fitness space where every client—no matter their neurological makeup—feels welcome, supported, and capable of achieving their goals. Think of the confidence you could build, the trust you could foster, and the lives you could change.

This course isn’t just about building your skills; it’s about building a better future for the neurodiverse community.

Join the Movement

This course is the culmination of hard work, collaboration, and a shared belief that fitness should be accessible to all. Together with Lucy Smith and the team at Inclusive Change Ltd, we’ve created a resource that will redefine inclusivity in the fitness world.
