Someone who’s spent over 20 years inside leadership rooms watching capable, intelligent people slowly mute themselves.

Someone who’s led large-scale global teams, built operations from the ground up, sat at board tables shaping strategy and culture and seen first-hand what happens when leadership prioritises optics over honesty.

I watered myself down for years in corporate.
And every now and then, when the real me slipped out (usually in board meetings where people were nodding along to absolute bollocks!) it ruffled feathers.

I was the one who said the thing.
The one who named what everyone else whispered about in corridors and moaned about in Teams chats afterwards.

That’s never been me.
And eventually, I realised it couldn’t be.

Business Outloud was born when I finally stopped playing safe and decided to take my voice, my knowledge, my courage and my confidence out into the world of leadership.

Not as theory.
Not as inspiration.
But in action.

I’m a get-shit-done Wife and Mum of two who’s fiercely passionate about people, behaviour and refusing to play small. I don’t believe leadership confidence is built through buzzwords, online masterclasses or mood boards that never turn into movement.

Manifesting without action is just daydreaming.
Journalling without follow-through is just words on a page (and hand cramp!)
And leadership without honesty is just performance.

I hate networking.
But I love rooms.

Real rooms.
High-energy, human spaces where people drop the mask, say the thing and leave changed. Not with a notebook full of quotes or pockets full of shitty business cards but with clarity, courage and momentum they can use.

I believe leadership works best when it’s human, confident and Outloud.
When culture lives in behaviour, not buzzwords.
And when people stop waiting for permission and start backing themselves properly.

That’s what I build.
That’s how I lead.
And that’s exactly what I’ll ask of you too.
