I enjoy the responsiveness of hosting live events.
I have acted as emcee, panel moderator and “chat show host” for a variety of events listed below as well as delivered key-note addresses.
The sorts of topics I have covered include:
- Networking and building business relationships
- Confidence and the imposter syndrome
- Purposeful creativity; and
- The “hidden” professional – a talk for support and “back of house” staff
A HUGE thank you to @helgahenry for chairing #Resilience18 so expertly today and being so engaging. Who else would have got the delegates on their feet and playing her own take on charades! #helgahosts

The energy, knowledge, insight and impact that Helga brings to a room is truly wonder to behold. Rarely do I see a room of young creatives become so animated and switched on by a presentation.
