I bring around ten years in the police, a business built from the ground up, and a lot of time in rooms full of founders. Your audience leaves knowing how to say what they mean, and with the nerve to go and do it.
Warm, funny and blunt in the best way. People remember the stories, and they use the tools.

For founder events, accelerators, networking nights and business chambers
Pitching isn't just Shark Tank. It's every conversation with a customer, investor, partner or new hire. This talk shows people how to be understood, not just impressive.
For conferences, leadership events and teams
What my years in the police, the last few as a detective, taught me about getting to the point when the stakes are real, and how the way you deliver a message changes the outcome.
For women in business events, conferences and community events
From police officer to snail farmer, founder and speaker. A talk about acting before you feel ready and backing yourself when nobody has handed you permission.

Storytelling on stage, Northbridge, Perth.
Two hours with a cohort of founders: framework, practice and live pitches. 2026.
