Commissioned Learning Content, Speaking & Residencies
Commissioned Learning Content:
I create character-driven learning content for publications, platforms, and organisations—resources grounded in the belief that stories are powerful mechanisms for teaching, learning, and communicating authentic identity.
Speaking & Residencies:
I’m available internationally for speaking engagements and teaching residencies at literary festivals, retreats, cultural institutions, universities, arts venues, and creative organisations—including keynote talks, readings, workshops, panel discussions, and guest lectures.
Organisational Learning Programme
I also offer a three-day flagship organisational learning experience:
The Professional Storytelling Organisational Programme
A programme designed to strengthen leadership communication, professional presence, and career development conversations through structured, authentic storytelling.
This programme can be delivered in partnership with organisations, consultancies, institutions, or experienced facilitators.
