Success with Soul KeyNotes & Meet-ups

I didn’t set out to create a keynote.

This story emerged the way the rest of my work has — through lived experience, loss, and questions I could no longer ignore.

For a long time, I lived inside what the world calls success. Titles, responsibility, momentum. From the outside, everything made sense. From the inside, something was quietly slipping away. I was achieving, but no longer fully alive.

​

Success With Soul is the story of that realisation.

It explores what happens when ambition outpaces presence, when performance replaces meaning, and when we inherit definitions of success without asking whether they fit the lives we are actually living. It is also a story of return — listening to pain, memory, dreams, and silence, and rediscovering success as something quieter, truer, and more human.

​

When I share this keynote, I don’t arrive with answers. I arrive with a life. I speak about corporate corridors and public service, grief and reinvention, losing certainty and learning to live again. The rooms are usually calm. People listen differently.

​

This is not a motivational performance. It is an invitation to reflect on what we are building — and who we are becoming while we build it.

​

Success With Soul can be shared as a short conference reflection, a full keynote, or alongside an intimate meet-up where stories are held rather than hurried past.

​

If your audience is navigating success, transition, or quiet questions about meaning, this conversation may arrive at the right time.
