Speaking and Workshops

Practical, engaging sessions that give your team - or your audience - something they can actually use

The talk that changes how a room works together

Whether you're looking for a speaker who will genuinely engage your audience or a workshop facilitator who can shift the way your team communicates and operates, you're in the right place.

Every session is practical, warm and completely free of corporate jargon. No death by PowerPoint. No theory that disappears by Monday morning. Just honest, actionable content delivered in a way that sticks.

What people say

"I found the content fascinating and immediately applicable." - Workshop Attendee

Claudia speaks regularly to groups of all sizes - from intimate networking rooms to corporate audiences.

Talks and Workshop Topics

DISC for Better Team Communication

The most practical thing you can do for a team is help them understand each other. This session introduces the DISC model in a way that's engaging, immediately applicable, and - frankly - a lot of fun. Teams leave knowing why they clash, how to communicate better and what to do differently starting tomorrow.

Available as a talk or half/full day workshop

How to Be a Better Boss

For business owners who never planned to be leaders - and the teams who work for them. This session tackles the real stuff: what good leadership actually looks like in a small business, why most people management problems aren't people problems and what to do about it. Available as a talk or half day workshop

Building a Team That Works Without You

For business owners who are ready to stop being the bottleneck. This session covers the structures, habits and conversations that allow a business to run independently - and what gets in the way. Honest, practical and designed to create immediate clarity. Available as a talk or half/full day workshop

The Owner-Optional Business

A bigger picture session for business owners thinking about their next chapter - whether that's working less, stepping back or eventually selling. What does an owner-optional business actually look like and how do you build one without starting from scratch? Available as a keynote talk or half day workshop
