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.

Announcing Our New Workshop: From Brain Fog to Clarity – with Special Guest Kirsty Brown
From Brain Fog to Clarity: New Webinar Announced: Featuring Women’s Health Advocate Kirsty Brown
We’re thrilled to announce our latest online workshop, From Brain Fog to Clarity: Neurodivergence, Menopause & Work, a 90-minute webinar designed specifically for autistic and ADHD people navigating perimenopause or menopause.
And we’re even more excited to share that Kirsty Brown, a respected women’s health advocate, will be joining us as a special guest contributor. This workshop was born from a growing need we could no longer ignore: too many neurodivergent women are silently struggling through brain fog, overwhelm, and workplace burnout during menopause, with little understanding and even less support.
Why This Workshop Matters
If you’ve been:
Feeling scattered, unfocused or emotionally up-and-down
Struggling with work you used to manage easily
Questioning if you’re “losing it”
Hiding your challenges because you don’t know how to explain them
...you are not alone. And you are not the problem.
Menopause is neurological as well as hormonal, and for neurodivergent women, the impact on executive function, sensory processing, and emotional regulation can be profound.
We created this session to make sense of it all, offer real tools, and give you a space to feel seen and supported.
What You’ll Learn
How menopause affects neurodivergent brains
Why your usual coping strategies may no longer be working
The science behind brain fog, memory shifts and mood swings
How to manage executive dysfunction and advocate for support at work
Practical tools for calming overwhelm and reclaiming clarity

This isn’t just information. It’s validation. It’s community. It’s a new way of navigating this stage of life with awareness, not shame.
A quick note about our language
We use the term ‘women’ throughout this space to reflect the common experience of many, but we recognise that menopause is experienced by some trans men, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people too. You are welcome!
