Conference Lecture

"I'm thinking you and your organisation want a speaker who engages wholeheartedly with your audience and one who delivers practical, memorable and effective insight and learning for them. 

 

Importantly I believe you'll want Vanessa as your speaker, as one who inspires new action and behavioural change.

 

I still remember the first time I experienced Vanessa speaking at a conference on the Gold Coast. I was one of a few hundred people in the audience (and I've also seen Vanessa leading and inspiring smaller groups) and we were all connected to her desire to lead us through a program of significant change and were then ready to take the next steps. 

 

Practical insights from wholehearted thinking that inspires positive action. 

 

That's what you'll experience with Vanessa as a speaker and leader for your audience".
