I’m the host of the Reimagining Success podcast and an experienced public speaker, trainer and facilitator. I can offer a number of different talks and presentations for schools, universities and companies, bringing a mix of personal stories and professional expertise, solemnity and humour, big dreams and down-to-earth pragmatism.
Reimagining Success Podcast
In this podcast, you’ll be encouraged to go beyond the narrow focus on just the work domain, you’re going to hear from individuals who are pursuing their own definitions of success, and you will be getting all sorts of extra resources and support to reimagine your own success.
Speaking opportunities
I’m passionate about sharing stories and lessons from my own life - and encouraging others to avoid my mistakes! I can talk on themes including building your personal brand, getting out of your comfort zone, and deciding on the right career path, tailoring the message for the audience at schools, universities, companies and conferences.
Get in touch to find out how I can contribute to your event.

Anna was our opening speaker and we couldn’t have chosen a better speaker to kick off our conference! She was engaging, approachable, fun, and managed to synthesise a lot of ideas into 30 minutes that really helped open our attendees up and help them prepare for the rest of the event. I would absolutely recommend her!

Anna came in to talk to our students about making the right career choices. She instantly connected with the students and tailored her talk to suit their current circumstances. The feedback from students following her talk was overwhelmingly positive. She had brought up aspects within their choices that they wouldn’t have considered.

Anna’s keynote speech and workshops combined inspiration and actionable advice at our careers event. Our officers were equipped with a set of tools to help them manage their career proactively. Anna was great to work with, flexible to our needs and I would definitely recommend her as a speaker.

Anna delivered a workshop on “How to get what you want from your freelancing business”. There were 50 people attending, ranging from people thinking about freelancing and at the early stages in their careers, to very experienced consultants. Anna’s presentation had something for everyone and was motivating and thought-provoking. She is a confident, warm and approachable speaker.
A couple of typical comments in a delegate survey were:
“Great speaker, extremely inspirational, struck lots of chords with me, exercises were very useful.”
Really inspirational and loved the simple planning / reflective tools Anna introduced.”
I have already recommended Anna to some other networks and would love to book her again for future events.

Anna presented enthusiastically to students (ages 15-18) … She engaged well with the students and received some great feedback:
‘The way she explained was very powerful and made me think hard about how I am going to deal with my career in the future.’
‘I enjoyed this session as it both talked about a specific career and also focused on more technical aspects and tips on how to approach work.’
We look forward to welcoming Anna back again soon!

Anna was a key participant in our panel, attended by students interested in a future career in Management and Consultancy. She drew on her firsthand experience to provide invaluable advice, giving insight into an alternative career path in the industry. Her answers to the questions that were posed during the panel were engaging and inspiring and a number of students have since approached me to tell me how worthwhile and rewarding they found the event.
Throughout the day she also helped a number of students with constructing their CVs, advising them on how to present themselves to prospective employers. The students who participated in these sessions benefited hugely from their discussions with Anna and are hugely grateful for her priceless assistance and expertise.
