Transformative Talks:
Dynamic Keynotes 

Vie’s first public speaking outing was 25 years ago; she was told she would be speaking to 25 women in a community hall about the rare disability she lives with on behalf of the charity that supports people with the condition; when she arrived, she realised a 0 had been missed off and, instead, she was talking to 250 people in a large town hall!
 

Thankfully, it went really well, and, all these years later, the charity still asks her to speak to audiences regularly, both at events and on the radio.

 

She has also talked at events for International Women’s Day; at a conference for wraparound care providers; at a conference for women in the building industry; for the Soroptimists; in local theatres; on panel discussions; at charity events; and many more.
