Signature Talk
Leading With A Winning Mindset
Your workplace is a game. Everyone’s got a role. Let’s play to win.
Using the powerful analogy of sport, I unpack the workplace dynamics that often lead to confusion, frustration, and burnout.
Key Takeaways:
Clarity of role = Clarity of performance.​ ​​
Leadership isn’t about doing more; it’s about seeing the whole game.
Winning happens when everyone knows their position and plays it well.
Ideal for: HR teams, leadership training, supervisory development, safety culture workshops.
Signature Talk
Not Just PPE - The Identity Lens
Why safety doesn’t stick and how to change that, starting with language.
In this unforgettable talk, I challenge how we introduce safety in the workplace. Instead of treating PPE as “equipment”, what if we made it part of the worker’s identity. This talk is a deep dive into culture, psychology, and the subtle ways we either embed or erode safety at work.
Key Takeaways:​
- Safety isn’t a checklist, it’s a mindset.
- ​When leaders speak of safety as a choice, employees act like it is. Shift the language, shift the behaviour.
If safety doesn’t stick, it’s because we taught it like a lecture, not a lifestyle. From day one, create a sense of purpose around safety.
Ideal for: Safety managers, HR teams, compliance officers, frontline leadership.
Workshop
When workplace injuries happen, the real challenge isn’t just paperwork – it’s people, process, and progress. This workshop is designed to simplify claim-related conversations across departments and drive action that’s human-first, compliant, and cost-aware.Â
​WHO IT’S FOR:
HR Managers, Safety Officers, & Finance.
Employers looking to reduce claim costs and improve return-to-work outcomes.
Businesses want more collaboration between departments.

This isn’t training. It’s a facilitated working session – part strategy, part culture conversation, part problem-solving. I guide your team using the Claim Conversations Kit to:
Unpack your current claims challenges
Identify cross-functional gaps and misalignments
Map out practical solutions
Build a stronger claims culture
You’ll leave with actionable outcomes, better alignment, and a fresh perspective on using claims as a strategic business tool.

Recent Talks
At the International Networking Event for Women Speakers (inews), I explored the idea of making the intangible tangible, a principle I’ve learned through my work in workers’ compensation and brought into the speaking business. Just like workers’ comp isn’t about forms but about people, speaking isn’t just about words; it’s about creating real impact, shifting culture, and sparking transformation that audiences can feel long after the event ends.
