TALKS AND TRAININGS

For teams who are tired of surface-level talks and ready for real change.

I don’t do passive presentations.
I create bold, high-energy experiences that get your people thinking differently and acting differently.

Whether I’m delivering a keynote, workshop, or team session, I focus on helping individuals build real confidence, speak with impact, and stop holding back their ideas, ambition, or leadership.

Because when people stop shrinking, teams start grow.

START BEFORE YOU’RE READY

How to Stop Overthinking and Start Speaking Up
Perfectionism keeps brilliant people invisible. This talk dismantles the myth that you need to be fearless or “ready” before you show up, speak up, or take action.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How to move from hiding to being seen without waiting to feel fearless

  • Why overthinking isn’t a sign you’re not ready, it’s a sign you care

  • The BRAVE framework for building visible habits that stick

AMBITION UNASHAMED

Deshaming Ambition and Redefining Success on Your Own Terms
This talk is a powerful unlearning of the messages that have kept ambitious women small, stuck, or second-guessing themselves.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Why ambition gets shamed and how to spot internalised messaging holding you back

  • How to redefine ambition through values, purpose, and joy - not hustle or proving

  • A guided framework to reclaim your “too muchness” and channel it with clarity and confidence

FROM INVISIBLE TO INFLUENTIAL

Building Visibility Without Burning Out
The fear of being seen is real and it’s rarely about laziness. It’s about safety, shame, and the stories we’ve been told about taking up space. This talk helps you move past the fear, drop the guilt, and build bold, values-led visibility that feels like you (not like hustle).

In this session, you will learn:

  • The real reason people stay hidden and how to shift from self-protection to self-expression

  • How to stop waiting for permission and start building strategic visibility

  • Energy-led visibility practices that align with your values, voice, and capacity

NETWORKING FOR CONNECTION (NOT JUST CONTACTS)

Make Bold Connections Without Faking It
Forget elevator pitches and networking scripts that make you sound like everyone else. This session is about showing up as you - clearly, confidently, and unapologetically. Because the best connections aren’t manufactured, they’re magnetic.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to create your signature 20-second intro that feels natural, not rehearsed

  • How to stop networking from a place of proving yourself

  • Practical ways to not only make new connections, but to actually keep them alive

IMPOSTER SYNDROME ISN’T YOURS TO CARRY

Why High-Achieving People Doubt Themselves
This talk calls out the roots of imposter syndrome and equips you to stop internalising self-doubt that was never yours to begin with.

In this session, you will learn:

  • The true origin of “imposter syndrome” and the 5 ways it can show up

  • Why self-doubt often increases with success, and how to move through it without shrinking yourself

  • How to separate your voice from the inner critic or outdated systems that benefit from your silence

PLAY IT BRAVE

Reclaim Joy as Your Power Tool for Growth
 High-achievers often abandon joy for productivity, but play is a secret weapon. This talk shows how play unlocks confidence, creativity, and momentum, especially when stakes feel high.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Play is how we access our boldest, most creative selves

  • The link between play, confidence, and momentum

  • Tangible ways to infuse lightness into high-stakes moments (speaking, pitching, etc.)

  • “Amber joined our conference as one of eight speakers and opened the event in 2023. Her talk was exactly what everyone wanted, presented professionally and with care and character. Amber is a wonderfully smiley and positive person and it was a pleasure to get to know her briefly over the days of the event.”

    Remy Sharp, ffconf

  • “What can you say about Amber that isn’t self-evident the first moment you meet her? She is a whirlwind of positivity – smart, energetic, charismatic – and, boy, can she present / perform. I know it’s not always been easy for her but she knows her stuff, and is a shining example to all young people of what you can achieve when you pursue your goals with passion, dedication and genuine generosity of spirit. Go Amber!”

    Pete Martin, Always Be Content

  • “A really engaging presentation demonstrating to those in your previous shoes what they can achieve. Personal stories are always really engaging, that together with insight on what you learnt, and your hints and tips were highly valuable to those on the WiT programme, and also to those like me hiring early careers apprentices and career changers. A super insightful and engaging presentation, with an added dash of spark and humour along the way!”

    Rob Mettler, PA Consulting

  • “Having Amber as a speaker at our recent The Tech Sisterhood “Leading Women in Tech” panel was an absolute pleasure. Her insights and experiences within the tech industry, particularly her advocacy for women, were inspiring & deeply resonant with our audience. Amber’s capability to articulate complex concepts in an approachable manner was exceptionally impressive. And her commitment to empowering women in the industry, through her initiatives like ‘Own Your Wins,’ stands as a testament to her leadership and dedication to making a substantial difference in what DEI looks like within tech.”

    Hannah Fisayo, Outbrain

  • “Amber spoke at the Triangirls 'Personal Retrospective' event about how to make personal goals and stick to them. Throughout the planning and build up to the event Amber was super responsive and proactive in her comms, and took on board our feedback to tweak her talk to have the biggest impact with our audience. On the night itself Amber's presence on stage was incredible. She is a NATURAL public speaker and had the room in the palm of her hand; we laughed and we learned tonnes! If you're considering booking Amber to speak at your event do it!!! She's a pro and I hope that I can collab with her again asap!”
