You’re officially invited to be a VIP guest at my Speaker Showcase!
On Wed 27 Aug, I’m debuting my brand-new keynote at the Ignite Innovation Leadership Speaker Showcase in Melbourne.
Topic? The one thing no leader can outsource, automate or fake: Your X Factor.
Not the TV show kind — the real deal. The mix of lived experience, personality and presence that makes you unforgettable.
You’ll discover how to find your X Factor, express it, and use it to connect, engage and inspire in any room, on any stage, in any conversation. And yes, the showcase is stacked with other brilliant speakers too, and no, I’m not just talking about me!
This showcase is for leaders, event planners and decision-makers who want conferences people rave about for years.
Details:
🗓 Wed 27 Aug | 2:30–5:30 PM
📍 Cliftons Melbourne
💸 100% free — seats are limited
Can’t make it? I can bring the keynote to you.
Book me in-house and I’ll help your team uncover their own X Factor — so they stand out, build trust faster, and inspire action every time they speak.
Curious? Here’s a sneak peek.
Warning: serious FOMO guaranteed
