Speaker
I have spoken at the Australian Social Media Marketing Summit, developer conferences around Australia and events ranging from Tech conferences/panels, and sharing my own personal journey through mental health as an ambassador for R U OK Day.
I often speak around mental health and technology, covering topics such as unconscious bias, scaling your business with PTSD, as well as the future of social media and the ethics of the internet.
I have a collection of keynote presentations however I am happy to create something specific for your audience.
What is the audience take away from me?
They will walk away empowered, taken on an emotive personal journey that creates a connection with learning the value and power behind emotional intelligence, empathy and leadership in a world with rapidly changing technology.
Why should you book me to speak?
Whether it’s a keynote address or as the MC for your event, I bring these key things to every speaking job: focus on key outcomes for your event (discussions before the event around your audience/attendees), taking the audience on an interactive journey (entertaining & emotionally compelling).
Media Commentator
A regular commentator in the media for the last four years, I can be heard regularly on 6PR Perth Tonight show with Chris Ilsley every fortnight, once a month on Curtin FM, and semi-regularly on Channel 9 News and ABC News.
What others have captured in tweets from my talks this year.

I had the honour of hearing from @MingJohanson in her talk about Unconscious Bias at @DDDAdelaide. My first step is to give myself a break. I’m choosing to operate above the line. pic.twitter.com/bl0ReFooen

“Hi! I’m from the Internet! I have a diagnosis of anxiety and PTSD, and I open with that because often there’s someone in the audience who needs to hear that you can have that and be up here giving funny talks” —@mingjohanson #dddadelaide pic.twitter.com/pSbkqW2FuV

We have all these boxes in our heads, filed away, and grief has a habit of unboxing them all at once. #dddadelaide pic.twitter.com/tS3l64ATTW

This is such an inspiring talk.
It doesn’t matter who you are – “It’s not about labels.”
“Everyone is a leader – invisible or otherwise.”
