I’m a natural public speaker as my friend and more seasoned fellow speaker Laura Savino said, I simply enter a room and exude the vibe that you should listen to me. :) (I also currently work as a cloud technical trainer, which has me giving “talks” all the time – none of which can be recorded for licensing restrictions, sorry. Feel free to ask me to create a bespoke technical speaking sample if you need one.)
I excel at captivating an audience and delivering information in an entertaining and memorable fashion. I’m happy to develop my own subject matter or work with conferences and organisations to speak on a requested topic.
When choosing my own subject matter, I enjoy speaking about the impact technology has on our culture, from online dating to personal branding to notification overload to work-life balance and beyond.
