I’ve spoken at conferences for organisations like Amazon, Capital One and big global summits, and my goal is always the same: to make people laugh, think, and leave with tools they can actually use. These are my most requested signature keynotes - practical, research-backed, and designed to make your audience leave saying “f*ck I really needed that!”.

  • This isn’t a talk about toxic positivity. This is about staying hopeful on purpose - even when your inbox is a mess, your brain’s in overdrive, and everything feels A Bit Much™.

    In this energetic and uplifting session, Kirsty mixes psychology, humour and hard truths to help people stay focused, steady and fired-up - without pushing harder or pretending everything’s fine 🙃. It’s the practical, helpful science of motivation for people who secretly want to lie down. Full of relatable moments and “I thought it was just me” laughter, this talk leaves people lighter, clearer and ready to keep going, and, as a senior leader at Capital One UK put it “with a real fire in the teams belly”.

    This talk is ideal for:

    Company-wide conferences
    Teams navigating change, uncertainty or stress
    High-performance cultures that need a mindset refresh
    Teams with ambitious targets
    Burnout-prevention and motivation themes
    Mixed audiences of different levels (relatable and useful for literally everyone)

    What they’ll walk away with:
    ✅ A reframed understanding of stress and motivation
    ✅ Tools to recharge without guilt
    ✅ Strategies to feel hopeful (not just positive)
    ✅ Energy, laughter and a real plan to keep moving forward

  • Honestly why is it that the people with the best ideas are the ones quietly stewing over whether to speak - while someone with half the insight (and twice the volume) takes the credit?!

    In this fast-paced, laugh-out-loud keynote, Kirsty blows up the myth that confidence is something you either have or you don’t. With the perfect mix of science, story and swearing (the good kind), she’ll show your teams why smart, capable people can sometimes hold ourselves back - and how to stop.

    Expect audience nods, belly laughs and that moment where people realise, “Oh… it’s not just me.”

    This talk is ideal for:

    Leadership & emerging talent
    Women in leadership / imposter syndrome themes
    Cultures that want more participation, visibility and realness
    Anyone who’s tired of fake-it-til-you-make-it advice
    Teams who want strong, confident voices

    What they’ll walk away with:
    ✅ Practical ways to feel braver without faking it
    ✅ Tools for speaking up with clarity (not corporate fluff)
    ✅ Permission to stop overthinking and start contributing
    ✅ A fresh, human approach to confidence at work
