Inspiring Speaking at your Company events
I have been a multiple award winner in public speaking with Toastmasters International, including Swedish Champion of International Speaking 2024, and Swedish Champion of Improvised Speaking 2020. Combined with my experience from many years on the operatic stage, I can deliver an inspirational speech to your team or event. With a focus on overcoming fears and limitations, and becoming the confident presenter you are.
“I can't even start to explain the inspiration I felt while listening to your speech. It inspired me greatly to chase those things I've been procrastinating, and I know make me happy.”
