Whether you’re looking for a Keynote speaker, conference presenter or even a chair, I’m experienced and confident in delivering a powerful SEND access and inclusion message for the cultural sector both in the UK and internationally.
Public speaking has a different role to the other areas of work I cover. It’s a snap shot chance to grab attention, inform, inspire and advocate so that delegates are motivated to ‘Be the change’. I may never see the delegates again, or as sometimes happens, I go on to work in detail with them, but advocating for disability inclusion in museums is where it all started for me – so I’m delighted when I get asked to do this.

“In May I attended your wonderful talk at the Heritage and Museums Show at Olympia, and I was really inspired to ‘BE the change’. Thank you so being so honest and giving such an inspirational talk.
Since then, thanks to your wonderful website, I have created Explorer Backpacks for the visitors at the farm to borrow during their visit. I launched it this week, and the response has been phenomenal!
Thank you for showing me how to make my workplace more accessible and giving me the tools to help others. I truly believe these backpacks will help so many children and families visiting the farm. I’ve already seen it in the space of a few days.” Alex Fowler, Manor Farm.
