Welcome to Keynotes that drive change.

“Every so often, you watch a keynote that packs such a punch that when you look round the room at your fellow audience, you can feel that the energy has totally shifted. 

That’s exactly what Jo did when she took the stage to speak about the invisible challenges women face. It was one of those moments where you could feel women exhale because finally, someone was naming what so many of us carry quietly.

What stood out to me most was Jo’s ability to hold space with absolute intention. She didn’t just deliver insights; she delivered validation, visibility, and language for experiences that often go unspoken. In my work with women-owned businesses, founders, and leaders.

I hear these stories every day, the barriers, the bias, the brilliance that goes unseen. Jo captured all of it with precision, empathy and undeniable power. Her storytelling is both an embrace and a huge call to action.

At WEConnect International, we’re building communities that remove barriers, open doors, and make sure women feel heard, supported and ready for opportunities to enter corporate supply chains. Jo amplifies that mission effortlessly. She speaks in a way that makes women feel seen - and makes decision‑makers sit up straighter and pay attention.

Her keynote created immediate ripple effects. Women were coming up to me saying, “I feel lighter,” “I feel understood,” “Someone finally articulated what I’ve been experiencing.” That is the impact of a speaker who truly gets it - someone who doesn’t just talk about women’s challenges but knows how to translate them into insight, empowerment, and momentum.

If you’re looking for a speaker who can hold truth and hope in the same breath, who creates change by making the invisible visible, and who leaves women not only inspired but equipped… Jo is the one. She brings voice, courage, and clarity to a conversation the world urgently needs.”

She commands a room with total ease, delivering a huge amount of content seamlessly. No filler. No “umms” or “erms”. Just sharp insight, backed by facts, figures, and real-world relevance. It’s seriously impressive. It makes me very proud to have her share and inspire with the we are building community.

What really sets Jo apart is her presence. Every time she speaks, the energy in the room shifts. People lean in. Distractions disappear. There’s a collective moment of clarity where you can feel mindsets changing in real time.

Jo has a rare ability to read a room and meet people exactly where they are , understanding their ambition, their blockers and what they need to hear next. Her storytelling is honest, her insights are lived (not theoretical), and her frameworks are simple, human, and immediately actionable.

After hosting Jo, I’ve seen the rooms across level  walk away clearer, more confident and more intentional. The conversations don’t stop when the keynote ends , they deepen. Purpose sharpens. Alignment follows. That’s the mark of a truly transformational speaker.

Jo doesn’t just deliver a keynote. She creates momentum and drives change.

"Working with Jo has been nothing short of transformative. In my role as a Director at Softwire, I have partnered with many facilitators, consultants and speakers, and Jo is genuinely in a league of her own.

Her delivery work with our teams has had a profound and lasting impact. Jo creates an environment where people feel safe to think deeply, speak honestly and challenge constructively. She brings a unique blend of strategic clarity, emotional intelligence and practical realism. Our leaders regularly describe her sessions as pivotal moments that created genuine breakthroughs in both thinking and behaviour.

Through the CCC, I have also seen Jo deliver some of the most compelling and thought provoking keynotes of my career. She has an exceptional ability to take complex, uncomfortable or emerging topics and make them deeply relevant to real leadership. Her delivery is confident, warm and incisive, and she captures the room from the first minute.

What sets Jo apart is her unwavering commitment to impact. She does not trade in jargon or empty inspiration. Everything she does is research based, data driven, grounded, actionable and anchored in real business value. I have seen leaders walk out of her sessions ready to lead differently, take braver decisions and create safer and more effective teams.

If you care about developing leaders who are capable, courageous and future ready, Jo is exactly the person you want working with your organisation. She raises the bar every time, and the results speak for themselves."
