Public speaking is one of my favourite pastimes. My enthusiasm for topics including travelling, social media, podcasts, creativity, and productivity, and more, means I’m often hired to speak. Not-so-secretly, I hope the high school teachers who told me off for talking can see that these days, I get paid for it 😉 (but also, I’m sorry for disrupting class!).
Since 2012, I’ve spoken around a hundred times at conferences and public libraries and as a sample, my recent speaking engagements have included:
