Business Speaker & Facilitator
I am a business speaker, facilitator, and consultant recognised for my ability to simplify complex issues and address the heart of leadership and workplace culture, which impact results.
With over a decade of experience in workers’ compensation and now running her own consultancy, CCD Specialists (Pty) Ltd, I bring practical insight, warmth, and clarity to every stage.
My keynotes and facilitated sessions are engaging, people-first, and transformational, designed to resonate with executives, HR leaders, and teams navigating alignment, culture shifts, and operational pressures.
I also partner with other industry thought leaders to amplify impact and deliver experiences that stick.
Whether addressing a boardroom, conference, or corporate event, my presentations inspire action, provoke reflection, and create space for authentic growth and lasting organisational change.
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 often left unsaid — from tension, and frustration, to unmet goals.
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
hy 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. 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, and frontline leadership.

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.
