Speaking

Ideas built from
experience, not theory.

Talks, panels and workshops drawn from twelve years of running programs, events and operations at real scale — in universities, festivals and community organisations across Australia and Canada.

Topics

Seven talks
shaped by the work.

Every topic can be delivered as a keynote, panel, workshop or internal leadership session. Length, framing and case studies tailored to your audience.

01 Signature talk

Built to Run Without Me

The signature talk. Why the best measure of a leader is not how essential they are — but how quickly the room stops needing them. Practical patterns for designing indispensable programs, not indispensable people.

From a Carpark to 8,000+
