Would you like me to speak at your event?
One of my favourite things to do is to share with others the wisdom and knowledge I’ve gained through my 30-year career. As an avid follower of business blogs, books, and podcasts, I also enjoy sharing and debating ideas and concepts I’ve picked up through these sources - I even love answering audience questions!
Whether you’re looking for a speaker for a live event with over 200 attendees, or a guest for a podcast appearance, I’d love to have a chat to see whether I’d be a good fit.
Hi!
I’m an experienced accredited executive coach and leadership development consultant who works with professional services organisations to help them leverage the potential of their leaders.
Formerly Director of the People and Culture Risk team at PwC, I advised finance, internal audit, and compliance teams to enhance their capabilities and cultures. As a chartered accountant and Deputy Chair of a leading social care organisation in Sussex, I also bring a diverse and rich background to her speaking engagements.
I’ve spoken at the Government Finance Conference, International Integrated Reporting Conference and Alternative Events Accounting Management Conference, as well as events for the ICAEW and local Chambers of Commerce. I was recently interviewed about leadership for accountingcpd.net and have spoken at conferences for a variety of corporate and government organisations. My podcast guest appearances include the Leading with Integrity and Dealing with Goliath leadership podcasts.
I blend lessons learned from my own experience of building a career in a complex organisation with the latest thinking on management and leadership. My insights reflect the realities of leading in the 21st century, bringing fresh perspectives to senior professionals seeking clarity amid today’s unpredictability.

“Helen was the standout speaker of our event - a true highlight across the entire two-day programme. One delegate even told me her session was the best of the whole event.
She brought a rare combination of deep expertise, polished delivery, and genuine warmth. Her session on Women in Accounting for International Women’s Week was not only insightful but also incredibly empowering. She tackled important topics like confidence, ambition, and leadership development for women with clarity and authenticity.
Helen is exceptionally experienced, presents beautifully, and connects with her audience on a personal level. She knows her stuff - and she’s also an absolute dream to work with behind the scenes.
We would welcome her back in a heartbeat.”
