Public Speaking
Public speaking definitely didn’t come naturally to me as an extroverted introvert. All those eyes, all that nervous energy. I’d prefer to stay hidden behind my written words, thank you. But as the years rolled on, I realised that sometimes you’ve got to stand up, physically, to have your message heard. Sometimes, getting vocal is important. And that’s why I rose to the challenge.
Today, I’m part of the collective of speakers that make Changemaker Stories, an innovative speaker agency that partners businesses with grassroots changemakers working on the frontlines of social and environmental change.
Workshops
Writing creative nonfiction can be extremely powerful in making us more attuned to the world around us and uncovering our unique point of view. My workshops use the medium of creative nonfiction writing to foster a connection to nature and create shared experiences through our words. Stories shape the way we all see and move through the world. But to be great storytellers, we must first be keen observers. Through leveraging the power of observation, we’ll learn how to connect with ourselves, our readers and the world around us.
Appropriate for all abilities. I’m available to hire for groups – although group sizes should be limited. Workshops take place outdoors, in a natureful setting that’s conducive to great writing.
