Her topics include...

Making Creativity Work for Business

An engaging and visual presentation into why creative thinking can enhance business. Whether it's thinking creatively to come up with solutions to business problems, untapping new opportunities or simply motivating staff and clients, creativity not only makes sound economic sense, it also makes working more enjoyable.
This style of presentation is designed to make people question their usually linear way of thinking, and be inspired to consider how they can bring more creativity into their workplace.

Social Media and Implications for Business

This is a presentation that creates an understanding of how social media is being used, and what the implications are for businesses. Here we can learn what has changed in media in the past five years, and how the conversations that are happening between business, consumers, clients and employees are more multi-faceted than ever before. This presentation will not only show local and international examples of social media trends, but can also be tailored to a specific industry as required.

Women in Business

Empowerment is the calling card of modern business women. However, this can also come at a price of a personal life, and is it really possible to have it all? This presentation talks through my own personal experiences of working within a male dominated industry, the pitfalls of the 'boy's club' but also how to make the most of your opportunities and have your voice heard.
This is an inspirational journey that shows us that the most essential part of success is having an understanding of what you are first, and then maneuvering your circumstances to leverage your goals. It also demonstrates the importance of understanding company goals when you are looking at a future path, and creating steps to make them happen.
