About Sharon
Conference Keynote Speaker

Clarity, Courage, and Connection — When the Stakes Are High

Sharon is a former criminal barrister turned leadership keynote speaker and executive advisor, known for helping leaders speak with authority, humanity, and impact in moments that matter most.

For over 16 years at the Bar, Sharon worked in high-pressure environments where words carried real consequences. That experience now shapes her work with senior leaders, boards, and organisations navigating complexity, change, and heightened scrutiny. Her keynotes are thoughtful, incisive, and grounded in real-world leadership challenges not theory or trends.

​

Sharon doesn’t believe in commanding a room. She believes in presence, influence and credibility. Her work creates space for leaders to think clearly, speak courageously, and connect more meaningfully with those they lead.

​

What Audiences Experience

Sharon’s keynotes are known for their depth and resonance. Audiences consistently describe them as:

​

• Intellectually rigorous without being heavy

• Human, reflective, and quietly powerful

• Practical, without being instructional

• Challenging, without being confrontational

​

She brings together storytelling, sharp insight, and structured reflection to create moments of recognition—where people see themselves, their leadership, and their choices more clearly.

​

This is not performative motivation.
It is leadership presence in action.

​

Topics Sharon Is Known For

• High-stakes communication and decision-making

• Speaking with authority without force
