Speaking

I speak at selected organisations, conferences and events on leadership, burnout, leadership and sustainable ways of working.

Most of my talks are for audiences in games, creative technology and start-ups (the worlds I know best). I’m increasingly speaking more broadly on burnout and especially AI’s impact on it.
