I regularly take part in speaking events, conferences and podcasts to talk about the importance and power of kindness and the way that it connects us all. My style is warm, friendly and enthusiastic.
Topics range from celebrating inspiring stories of kindness and the power you have when you choose to ‘see kind’, to sharing ideas for noticing kind acts in the world around you and how to use connection with others as a source of joy in your work. My aim is to encourage and inspire my audiences about the positive impact that kindness has on individuals, workplaces and society as a whole.
NEW! Book me as a ‘warm-up act’
If you are running an event, meeting or conference and need something a bit different to get the day started, I can run a 20 minute kindness stories activity that will raise the positivity and energy in the room. After setting the scene around kindness, I will encourage attendees to get chatting to the people around them, sharing the positive impact of kindness they have noticed in the world and/or their workplace. Get in touch to discuss how we can work together at your event.
This is also a great exercise for organisations that have ‘kindness’ as one of their values but are struggling to articulate what that looks like in practice.
It’s like an ice-breaker, without being one of those awful ice-breakers that make everyone cringe!
