SPEAKER · FACILITATOR · LEADERSHIP COACH
Leadership talks for people who want something useful to take back to work.
Practical, human conversations about leadership, teams, communication and what actually happens when you put a bunch of humans together and call it work.
Keynotes, conference sessions, leadership events, team sessions and facilitated conversations.
YOU'LL PROBABLY LIKE WORKING WITH ME IF...
You want the room actually involved.
You want ideas people can use, not just theory that sounds good on a slide.
Not sitting politely waiting for the session to end.
Not a generic talk dropped into a completely different context.
Because the talk isn't the outcome. What people do next is.
Questions. Reflection. Conversation. Maybe a little awkward silence while people actually think.
Leadership can matter deeply without feeling like mandatory training.
SIGNATURE TALKS
Big ideas about how people actually work together.
How Teams Work
What actually happens when you put a bunch of humans together and call it a team.
A practical look at trust, clarity, communication, ownership and the conditions leaders create that make good work easier or quietly make everything harder.
Get Out of the Way
How to build a team that thinks without becoming the answer to everything.
For leaders who have somehow become the decision maker, fixer, problem solver and human Google of the team.
Exploring when to ask, when to tell and when to get out of the way so people can think, contribute and take ownership.
Say the Actual Thing
Better conversations before small things become big things.
A practical session about feedback, expectations, accountability and the conversations leaders often put off until they become much harder than they needed to be.
ALSO AVAILABLE
I START WITH THE END
Not “what topic do you want?” What do you want them doing differently?
Having the conversation sooner?
Delegating instead of rescuing?
Asking before answering?
Being clearer about expectations?
Taking more ownership?
That's where we start.
Then I shape the session around the room, the context and what needs to happen next.
ONE IDEA YOU'LL HEAR A LOT FROM ME
Know when to ask.
Know when to tell.
Know when to get out of the way.
Leadership isn't about having every answer. It's about knowing what your people need from you, and what they don't.
IN THE ROOM
Speaking that feels like a conversation, not a lecture.
My work sits across leadership, coaching, facilitation and people development.
I've delivered leadership sessions for schools, cross-industry leaders, organisational teams and Australian Women in Business.
I've also delivered keynote and short-form speaking for school and Year 12 audiences.
Whether it's a shorter keynote or a longer interactive session, the aim is the same: make it useful, make it engaging and give people something they can actually do with it.
SELECTED SPEAKING
A few things I've already taken to the room.
Australian Women in Business
A practical session around connection and conversation, including PREP, ASK and FOLLOW and the idea: be interested, not interesting.
School leadership audience
Leadership-focused keynote delivered for a school audience.
Year 12 audience
Short-form keynote and micro-teach format delivered for graduating students.
Motivating Your Team Through the Final Quarter
A practical live masterclass using clear goals, feedback, acknowledgement and the conditions that support performance.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Less passive listening. More thinking.
Frameworks and questions people can actually take back into work, leadership and team conversations.
Leadership talked about in the context it actually happens in: deadlines, people, pressure, expectations and competing priorities.
Where the format allows it, people won't just hear the idea. They'll think, talk, practise and apply it.
Serious ideas don't need to be delivered like everyone is sitting through mandatory compliance training.
FORMAT
Need a keynote? A workshop? Something in between?
Speaking can be shaped around the room, the audience and the outcome you're trying to create.
Tell me who is in the room and what you want them thinking, talking about or doing differently afterwards.
WANT TO GO DEEPER?
The talk can start the conversation. SOSA can keep it going.
If you're looking for leadership development, team development, coaching or a longer-term people development partnership, that's the work I deliver through SOSA Consulting.
