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.
