PUBLIC SPEAKING

With an incredibly lively presence and energy that that is experienced in a captivating way, her audiences frequently describe ‘catching’ Abby’s passion and enthusiasm for her topics, even via video conference.

Abby uses a unique blend of humour, theory and practice to make her speeches engaging, useful and impactful.

She expertly combines the following elements into every speech: 

NEUROSCIENCE & NEURO-SEMANTICS​

​

Creating accessible and understandable visibility of the otherwise invisible unconscious machinations of human emotion, behaviour and cognition, to foster conscious awareness and evolved thinking

KNOWLEDGE

​

Drawing on contemporary and cutting-edge research, holistic frameworks, methodologies and innovative approaches

KNOW-HOW

​

Fostering functional intelligence-not 'information'-by linking the how (knowledge) with the what (practical and implementable skills and capabilities)

Whether you seek something topical, informational, motivational or inspirational, Abby will masterfully create something to shake and stir your audience.

 

Abby has the demonstrated capacity to create and deliver engaging and motivating speeches, seminars and to events for over 800 delegates both face-to-face and online.
