Stories are powerful.
They have the power to inspire action, instill purpose, alter perceptions, and transform lives. Seeing and hearing the journeys of others has impacted and inspired me to carve out and walk on my own path. This has led me to not only transform my own life but enabled me to create positive outcomes and opportunities for those who I work alongside.

Whether its a motivational keynote, an explorative fire-side chat or a facilitated panel, let me help you visualise not only what is possible but how it can be achieved.

Intersectionality and Me
Have you always wished you could speak in front of an audience and give an engaging presentation, but don’t know how and are also a little fearful?
Perhaps you simply want to be able to communicate your thoughts and ideas but feel you lack the skills to do so.
You can achieve your goal with speaking and presentation coaching.
I have spoken virtually and in person at a variety of events, on large and small stages in front of peers, colleagues, and strangers!
Understanding how presentations are formulated, how to connect with your audience and most of all how to relax and enjoy your presentation are key to effective public speaking.
If you are looking for a one-off session for an up-coming event, or a session plan to give you a solid foundation, I can support your journey.
Mentorship is a vital part of your professional and personal journey. Having a safe environment to express your thoughts and receive lived experience advice, actively supports your growth both personally and professionally. I have benefitted from amazing mentors, who have built my confidence, and shown me how to advance and achieve my goals. My desire is to help you do the same.
Administrative Professionals
A common misconception – being an administrative professional (AP) is easy – wrong!
Despite being aware of mentorship’s power for personal and professional development, many APs and their colleagues often overlook the value of mentorship for those in business support roles.
If you are looking to take control of your career as an AP, whether new to the role or a seasoned professional, ask me how I can help you to advocate for what you want and achieve your goals.
Intersectional Early Careers
Starting a career is a journey of discovery. Bringing your ‘whole self to work’ is not always as easy as it sounds if you have multiple intersectionality’s. If you want to know how to stay true to your purpose and values yet still be able to advance and achieve your goals, connect with me.
The significance and influence of administration within organisations is frequently underestimated, even though it is a recognized role, resulting in a lack of awareness and understanding of what this group needs to thrive.
This information gap has become wider over time, and with the onset of technology, and its increasing sophistication, I hear more and more concerns from Administrative Professionals that they are not provided with targeted, relevant training and receive very little professional development for the role they play.
The role is far more than Calendar Tetris – yet often this is the only training that is provided.
Viewing APs as talent rather than a simple resource is vital for the effectiveness and efficiency of an organisation.
Let me support you and create an environment of inclusive learning for all.
Standard and bespoke sessions available.

Mindset Matters
Administration is a foundational pillar of firms from start-ups to global multinationals. As with any foundation care is required when laying as a badly laid or incorrect foundation can cause a building to collapse or not perform as it should.
Administration teams rather than being strategically managed are often left to evolve over time, leaving both the APs and the teams they support with very little guidance or operational oversight. Having an optimised administrative function can provide significant benefits to the overall impact and functionality of an organisation, supporting rhythm of business, CSR goals as well as the day-to-day effectiveness of an organisation.
If you are looking to optimise and transform your administrative work force but are unsure how and have idea on where to start, let me help you achieve your organisations full potential.

C-Suite AP Succession Planning
Employee Resource Groups can be the heart and soul of organisations. They often are the culture carriers encouraging and promoting environments were all feel they belong.
These are grass-root led and are aware of improvements, concepts and tensions within the work community that management may be unaware off.
These employee led groups require structure and direction to be beneficial and successful.
Having founded two successful ERGs at global and regional level as well as actively leading multiple workstreams on a variety ERGs, I now share my expertise with others.
Are you looking to set up such a group but are unable to formulate a plan? Would you like to know how to navigate your environment, seek sponsorship and advocate for a cause close to your hear?
My advocacy work in this space has been recognised by awards from BlackRock, Investment Week and WeAreTheCity.
Let me help you on your way to success.
Are you looking to connect with like-minded individuals in the Administrative, Social Mobility or Black Professional space, but get lost on knowing where to go. I have been there! I want to make connecting easier.

SIMply APs
The life of an Administrative Professional can often be siloed, maybe as the only one in your department or even your firm.
This can impact your sense of belonging, career goals and personal and professional development.
These discussion groups have been curated to provide APs with a supportive community which provides a physiologically safe space for you to connect.
SIMply Sisters
This space is unapologetically designed for sisters who are identified by society and racialised as Black. For someone who practices inclusivity, you may think this space is hypocritical – it is not – this is an equitable, necessary space.
SIMply Socio
Having come from a low socio economic background is often only viewed from a lens of disadvantage. This can be disempowering.
Yet our life experiences can serve us well when navigating our careers – sometimes we simply need to hear from others who have successful transformed their lives.
Have a project or event you wish to discuss, or simply want to ask a question.
