Speaking

There's a particular kind of business talk that looks helpful and isn't. It gives you big energy, tidy stories, and a few tidy rules, and then you go home and realise none of it fits your life. It's not malicious. It's just written for the wrong audience and delivered as if it's universal.

I talk about that mismatch - why most decent business ideas don't die in the marketplace. They die in the kitchen, at 11pm, after a day that didn't go to plan, when the founder realises the advice they've been following only works when nothing interrupts them.

That sounds dramatic, but it's painfully ordinary. It's the school run. It's care. It's health. It's mental load. It's a brain that is brilliant and still refuses to behave on command. It's the constant stop-start that makes "consistency" feel like a joke.

My talks are built for rooms that want something real. No hustle worship. No founder cosplay. No pretending that everyone has the same capacity. The point is not to make people feel better for an hour. The point is to give them language for what's happening, and a method that respects the reality they're in.

If your event wants something that makes people feel seen and then think properly, get in touch.
