Speaking
The first ten minutes matter
Your event starts long before the first speaker takes to the stage.
It’s already building as delegates collect their lanyard, clutch their emotional support coffee as they shake off the croissant crumbs, and look around the room for a face they know.
Talks that help people stop waiting and start participating
Honest stories. Practical ideas. Embarrassing social situations nobody admits to. These talks are built from lived experiences.
I open conferences and events before the programme begins – when nobody’s quite chatting yet and the room needs that extra oomph.
There’s no pretending that confidence comes first. It all starts with us being ourselves.
What people say
Thank you for all your energy and giving me confidence to go into Thursday and talk to people!
Online Orchestration Lead / John Lewis
Thank you for your talk at the start of the event, it helped as a nudge to go and meet people. Sharing your personal story made it relatable to a lot of people around.
Ankit, Associate Director / HSBC
Lorraine’s lightning talk couldn’t have come at a better time. I developed the confidence to talk to a lot more people than I expected – and even went on to ace my own stage talk and address the crowd at the beach party afterwards.
Sri, Product Marketing Associate / Zoho
What I speak about
These are the topics I love to chat about. They’re the things I’ve lived, cried over, learned, tested and now use to champion others.

Want your delegates to stop overthinking and start talking?
I open events to open conversations.
Kick off your event with a talk that helps people feel more comfortable being themselves, join in and move beyond small talk into conversations with real energy.
I’d love to hear from you!
