  • 13: 2022 - A Year of Fantastic Conversations

    2022 was a year of new beginnings for me.

    I re-invented myself as a public speaking coach.

    I also launched this podcast - Speak as a Leader - which is now on it’s 13th episode - so it’s lucky number 13, and we’re going into 2023 - so it’s a great time to look back at some of the INCREDIBLE - and I mean TRULY incredible people that I’ve had the privilege of talking to!

    You’ve heard senior directors at companies like Google, Facebook, IBM, Walmart and Unilever.

    You’ve heard from C-level execs and founders at fast growing startups, best-selling authors. I even surprised my hippie self by talking a director at the Australian Army. And I even got to talk to someone who has served at the Pentagon!

    So I’d love to take you on a little journey through how these amazing leaders have learned the art and science of speaking in public and how they’ve become better leaders and influencers through speaking. 

    Hope you have a fantastic 2023!

    He came up with an answer.
