Speaker, Facilitator, Compare
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.
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
I engage audiences to get them thinking and start conversations that will make and does make a lasting difference.
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.
Oh, okay, let's just say I can talk about resilience, royalty, and some really fun stuff from a career in international law enforcement,
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.

The conference featured an impressive lineup of speakers whose sessions resonated deeply with everyone in attendance. Highlights included:
'Neurodivergence: My Experiences & Thoughts' - An engaging presentation by Purple Ella, which offered a personal and insightful look into the world of neurodiversity.
'Specific Learning Difficulties' - Neuroteachers founder, Catrina Lowri, guided the audience through some of the challenges teachers and carers of neurodivergent young people may face. She offered her expertise and shared valuable insights on navigating these complex needs effectively.
'Practical OT strategies for children with sensory processing needs' – Therapy Space offered expert advice on sensory processing strategies
Each presentation not only informed but also inspired, reminding us all of the critical need for inclusivity and support in our communities.
What truly set the event apart was the palpable camaraderie among the organisations present. From organisers Bristol Parent Carers to Bristol Autism Support, bibic and many others, the shared commitment to improving the lives of children with complex needs was evident at every turn. The atmosphere was one of genuine collaboration - with many meaningful, and sometimes emotional, conversations highlighting just how challenging it can be to navigate the world when you have children with additional needs.
Throughout the day, Lucy and I engaged with numerous individuals whose stories were both touching and powerful. These conversations underscored the everyday struggles faced by families and the vital importance of having robust, supportive networks. The emotional exchanges were a testament to the resilience of those navigating life with complex needs - and they reinforced our commitment to making a difference to their futures.
Together for SEND 2025 was more than just an event; it was a celebration of unity, compassion, and the shared determination to create lasting change. We left inspired and motivated to continue our work in driving inclusivity forward, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have connected with so many passionate advocates.
We look forward to the next opportunity to collaborate and build on this incredible momentum for a brighter, more inclusive future.
