MEDIA / SPEAKER

I have had a wonderful time presenting at literary festivals, TEDx, schools, book clubs and bookshops, and corporate conferences, blending travel tales with my fervent belief that ‘getting away’ offers everyone a vehicle for life-changing rejuvenation. But like my travels, things have not always gone to plan. While being interviewed in prime time on Channel 9, my timeslot got cut short by a dog food commercial. I’d like to think it was very good dog food.

If you’d like me to speak at your event, my core presentation/speaker topics appeal to a range of subjects and attendees and, for now, include the four topics detailed below.

Everyone needs a little escape! In this hilarious and inspiring TEDx talk, I present a new angle on work/life balance, blending entertaining anecdotes from my adventures with specific examples of individuals have deployed ‘time out’ as a high-performance strategy to achieve creativity, innovation, happiness and extraordinary success. For attendees, my talk promises to ignite their own personal quests and goals. For companies, The Power of Time Out offers a dangerously unconventional, but proven strategy, for supercharging careers, creating corporate growth and increasing productivity and profits.
