In today's fast-paced work environment, many employees are working harder and longer but often feel they achieve less.

In today’s environment of constant change, shrinking budgets and rising demands, knowing how to prioritise and protect your energy is no longer optional; it IS leadership. And yet, women in particular often hesitate to set boundaries, fearing they’ll be seen as difficult, selfish, or “not a team player”.
In this energising and practical keynote, Claire unpacks the cultural and career conditioning that has taught women to equate leadership with self-sacrifice. She’ll show your audience how to shift from being the “go-to gal” to being a deliberate, respected leader who sets clear expectations and still delivers, without losing themselves in the process.

This session dives into boundary-setting not just as a life skill, but as a leadership imperative. With powerful scripts, practical strategies, and mindset shifts, Claire shows women how to say yes on their terms, reclaim their energy, and lead in a way that feels both strong and sustainable.

Potential Audience:

• Organisations wanting to prevent burnout and retain women leaders
• Women in mid-career leadership or stepping into people-leader roles
• HR, L&D or conference organisers focused on burnout prevention and sustainable leadership

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Reframe boundaries from being “selfish” to being “strategic leadership”.
• Learn practical tools and scripts to set, hold, and honour boundaries in high-pressure roles.
• Understand how loose boundaries leak energy, diminish influence, and feed resentment.
• Discover how boundaries strengthen your leadership brand, and free you up to do more meaningful, higher-value work.
• Walk away with confidence, clarity and a framework to apply immediately.

The Feedback Factor: Making Every Conversation Count is an absolute game-changer for you and your team. Many presentations will provide conventional advice on how to give feedback, but they miss other critical elements that organisations need to foster in order to build a high trust, high agility culture. This presentation covers all three - how to get, give and ask for feedback, a necessary skill for every employee in your business.

Potential Audience

• Team leaders who are looking to enhance their feedback skills to support their team's growth and development.
• Teams wanting to come together and build a high trust, feedback rich environment together.
• Employees keen to improve their ability to get, give and receive feedback effectively to drive personal and professional growth.
• HR leaders looking to embed a feedback rich culture in their organisational environment and get beyond just ‘difficult conversations’ language.
• Organisations who are committed to creating a feedback-rich culture that promotes transparency, trust, and high performance.

Key Learning Outcomes

• Gain a deeper understanding of the key elements of a successful feedback conversation, empowering you to deliver feedback constructively and effectively.
• Identify and overcome common barriers that prevent people from having feedback conversations, enabling you to navigate feedback discussions with confidence and empathy.
• Develop a strategic approach to asking for feedback to aid in your personal and professional development, fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.
• Learn an exclusive feedback framework designed to help prepare more effectively for conversations and shed the ‘just wing it’ approach which almost always fails.
• Engage in hands-on practice and preparation to set up 'real-world' feedback conversations around meaningful topics, embedding learnings and driving immediate impact within your team.

This session can be run as a keynote presentation, or a hands on half day or full day workshop.

There’s a season of career and life many women hit where everything feels “a bit much”. Work is demanding. Life is fuller. And the version of success that used to drive you doesn’t quite fit anymore.

Welcome to the messy middle.

In this keynote, Claire shares the tools to navigate this often-ignored (but deeply felt) season with confidence and compassion. Blending career strategy with real-life context (think ageing parents, family planning, team pressure, shifting identity, perimenopause and more), this session meets women where they actually are, and helps them lead from that space.

In her signature style of humour and heart, this keynote is a rally cry for women in this space. Claire guides audiences through how to lead when success feels blurry, life feels heavy, and stretch roles test your limits.

Attendees will explore the Happy Career Matrix™, gain language to advocate for capacity, and discover how to prioritise, reset, and lead themselves forward even when nothing feels particularly tidy.

Potential Audience:

• Mid-career women navigating big leadership, life, or identity transitions
• Organisations seeking to retain their female talent

Being the dependable one who ‘gets it done’ might feel flattering, until you realise it’s cost you influence, visibility, and opportunity. Too many women over-serve and under-network, stuck in a loop of performing instead of progressing.

This keynote explores the concept of Relationship Currency, the other 50% of your career success. Claire helps audiences shift from scattered networking to strategic connection, using the “3 C’s” framework to build and sustain relationships that energise, support, and open doors.

Forget awkward small talk or forced LinkedIn schmoozing, this is networking reimagined for smart, human-focused, and purpose-driven women.

• Leaders wanting to build sponsorship and advocacy networks

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Learn the 3 C’s of meaningful, feel-good networking that sticks.
• Build confidence to connect and grow your network with purpose (without the ick).
• Walk away with actions to grow your circle and raise your profile.

In times of pace, change, and uncertainty, the leaders who thrive are not the loudest or the smartest; they’re the most self-aware. This keynote breaks down why self-awareness is the most important leadership skill of all, and how we can use it to unlock presence, power, and progress in all areas of our lives.

With her signature style of relatable, ‘real-talk’ that resonates, this keynote covers blind spots and bias to values and voice. Claire helps her audience understand how self-awareness impacts everything, from how we show up, to how we are perceived to how effective we actually are. This is not about naval-gazing. It’s about smart, strategic leadership built on clarity and emotional intelligence.

This session creates space to pause, recalibrate, and lead from the inside out, instead of the outside-in.

Potential Audience:

• Leadership development or succession planning programs
• Event organisers, HR, or L&D professionals seeking topics that provoke ownership and radical accountability from their teams
• Conferences focused on authenticity, values-driven leadership or emotional intelligence

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the ROI of self-awareness in leadership and life
• Spot patterns, triggers, and blind spots before they become career blockers.
• Learn how to lead with values and respond with clarity (not reactivity).
• Strengthen emotional intelligence, influence and decision-making.
• Walk away with practices to build real-time self-reflection and insight.
