Work With Me
Social change work rarely happens in simple conditions. Organisations, movements, and leaders are constantly navigating uncertainty, competing priorities, shifting political landscapes, and pressure to deliver meaningful change.My advisory work creates space to think strategically, and connect strategy, narrative, and leadership with the values driving the work.
Leadership Development
Alongside organisational strategy work, I support leaders navigating the realities of power, responsibility, and decision-making in social change work.These programmes create space for reflection, strategy, and honest conversation about the pressures of leadership.
Leading on the Line
A space for supporting leaders in high-stakes moments, when values are tested, trust is under strain, and how you respond matters more.Engage power without losing your integrity
A focused session for people working in charities, civil society, and social impact organisations navigating whether, and how, to engage with political power.
Strategy & Advisory
I support charities, NGOs, campaigns and mission-driven organisations to navigate complex social and political terrain, clarify direction, strengthen public voice, and develop approaches to change that are both effective and grounded in integrity.Sitting at the intersection of strategy, campaigning, narrative and leadership, I help organisations understand where they are trying to create change, how change happens, and what role they are best placed to play.This can include:+ Campaigns and advocacy
+ Movement and coalition building
+ Leadership positioning and public voice
+ Organisational strategy for social changeWorkshops & TrainingI design and facilitate workshops that help teams think more clearly, work through complexity, and strengthen their collective approach to change.+ Narrative strategy and public engagement
+ Power, values, integrity, and ethical leadership
+ Media, voice, and visibilityThese sessions create space for reflection, challenge and practical thinking, helping teams move beyond immediate delivery pressures and make more intentional decisions about strategy, voice and impact.
Speaking
Making sense of the things that are changing us.I speak about the messy, human questions underneath the issues shaping our world: creativity, emerging technology, power, identity, grief, social change and what it means to remain human in systems that are constantly changing.I’m a writer and poet with more than a decade of experience in human rights campaigning, strategy and public advocacy. I’ve spoken on stages, at conferences and cultural events, in Parliament and in the media from campaigning on arbitrary detention to conversations about LGBTQIA+ rights, organisational sustainability and the future of creativity.My speaking sits at the intersection of storytelling, ideas, and lived experience. I’m interested in conversations that don't have neat answers, but that leave people seeing something familiar differently.Current areas of speaking:AI, creativity & the human future
What happens to creativity when machines can make almost anything? I explore generative AI, authorship, ownership, ethical creativity and the increasingly strange question of what it means to remain distinctly human in our work.Creativity, identity & expression
Why do we make things? What happens when our creative lives collide with technology, work, money and the pressure to constantly produce? Drawing on my own practice as a writer and poet, I explore creativity as something deeper than output.Power, campaigning & social change
After more than a decade working across human rights and social change, I speak about how movements create change, how organisations find their public voice, and what happens when values meet power, uncertainty and political pressure.Grief, humanity & the interior life
As a writer whose work explores grief, matrilineage and the strange architecture of being human, I speak about the experiences we often struggle to articulate and what happens when we give them language.Recent speaking:Civil Society ELEVATE 2026
