The impossible has happened! I’m blown over and incredibly honoured to have won awards in three categories at The Speaker Awards:
🎊 Highly Commended for Best Virtual Gig
🎉 WINNER – Best Live Gig and…
🏆 WINNER – Speaker Of The Year!
It’s impossible because behind the success everyone else sees I know how many times I’ve fought to overcome self-doubt, kick imposter syndrome to the kerb, and resisted turning the volume down on myself in fear of not ‘fitting in’.
I know you’ve had a similar journey. It’s hard to put yourself out there, pick yourself up after failure and choose to keep going and yet here you stand! 💪🏽
Speakers – you’re a Resilience Ninja with a transformational message to share. What you do makes a difference and the world needs to hear what you have to say now more than ever!
No matter where you are in your speaking journey, I want to invite you to strap yourself in and put your foot down on the accelerator! 🏁Connect with like minded people who will support and challenge you along your way (count me in as one of them!) and be 10% braver than you were yesterday.
💥This is your time.
