🎤 The real reason I created Inspire Speak

For the past few years, I’ve been working in hospitality, leading conversations around inclusion and gender balance — but one question kept circling in my mind: How do we truly include all voices? How do we make space and use our voice with confidence?

In this latest episode of the Inspire Inclusive Leadership podcast, I share the personal journey that led me to create Inspire Speak — a new 3-day communication workshop designed to help professionals speak up, lead conversations, and show up fully in every room they enter.

This is for you if:

✔️ You want to build presence and clarity when you speak

✔️ You’re tired of watching powerful ideas go unheard

✔️ You believe inclusive communication is leadership

Tune in to the episode and hear how my story shaped this programme — and why I’m bringing it to cities around the world soon.
