Speaking as a lever for real change.

Speaking, for Elli, is a way to influence more people and to spark conversations that help us build a better future for the world of work—so that more people can move through transition at work with less pain and more potential.

Elli’s sessions are designed to support both your event and your wider organisational work, by naming what is happening in simple words, offering simple, evidence‑informed frameworks, and opening up new ways of looking things so people leave thinking differently about what is possible.​

Participants can expect:

  • A different kind of conversation – honest, human, and directly relevant to their context.

  • Fresh perspectives – practical, non‑defensive ways of thinking about trust, conflict, failure, inclusion, and transition that they are unlikely to hear in usual conversations.

  • Concrete takeaways – questions, empowerment and small practices they can use immediately with themselves, their teams and colleagues.

Speaking formats that work for you.

Speaking engagements, in person or online, can be shaped around your event design and time constraints.

  • Keynotes - 30 to 60 minutes, with or without Q&A.

  • Interactive sessions / workshops – focused on application and conversation, with a custom workbook or activities to enhance takeaways.

  • Internal leadership events and offsites – opening, framing, or closing sessions connected to your needs.

  • HR community gatherings – sessions designed for HR leaders, business partners, and people professionals.​

  • Panels – moderation or panelist roles, bringing nuance and asking the questions that move the discussion forward.

Topics Elli loves to talk about

  • How trust, psychological safety, clarity, and everyday leadership behaviours shape the cultures people actually experience at work—and what it takes to build organisations where performance and care can co‑exist.

  • What it means to lead in moments of transition: personally, in our relationships, and in the wider organisational system. Practical ways to stay grounded, make sense of complexity, and move people through change without losing them

  • How the quality of relationships and our ability to work with emotions—rather than around them—directly influence results, collaboration, and wellbeing. Simple lenses and tools for noticing patterns and shifting how teams show up together.

  • Bringing bias, power, and belonging out of abstraction and into daily decisions, meetings, and interactions. What inclusive leadership looks like in practice, and how small, consistent actions reshape the experience of work for different people.

  • How the HR and people function is changing in a world of AI, hybrid work, and ongoing disruption—and what this means for roles, skills, and identity. Exploring how HR can hold both business impact and human dignity at the centre of its work.

  • The visible and invisible dynamics that affect women’s paths in organisations, and how leaders and structures can either reinforce or loosen those patterns. Focus on everyday practices that allow women’s leadership to be seen, heard, and valued.
