Speaking process:

  1. Meet and Discuss: In the first meeting, Kirsty will understand your current needs, goals, industry, team, and unique situation. She will discuss what you would like your participants to take away from the talk. Additionally, you will learn more about the service Kirsty will provide, how she works, and some actions you can take right now.
  2. Creating the Approach: Kirsty then develops the speaker’s strategy and program, recommending various tactics, tools, and interactive notes or workbooks to ensure an engaging session.
  3. Meet and Discuss: In this meeting, Kirsty ensures the event and speakers’ topics are on track, addresses any concerns or questions, visits the venue, and finalises the outline with event coordinators.

Continued communication and support are essential components of excellent practice and process. Kirsty distinguishes herself by engaging with her clients throughout the design, development, implementation, and assessment phases. The structure of your speaking or training session is evaluated systematically and regularly to pinpoint areas needing improvement. If adjustments are required, they are communicated and addressed appropriately.

    Thank you so much for delivering our final keynote – it was incredible. I received really positive feedback from the delegates as to how worthwhile your session was, how it resonated with them and how well it rounded out the program. The delegates were challenged new ways of thinking and inevitable changes over the two days, and your session gave them some perspective and some tools on how to move forward, despite changes that were coming.
