Talks that shift

something real.

The conversations that change rooms aren't the ones that tell people what to think. They're the ones that give people permission to say what they already know but haven't said out loud yet.

That's what I aim for in every talk. Not performance. Not inspiration that evaporates by Monday morning. But the kind of honest, specific, lived-in content that leaves people feeling seen — and with something they can actually use.

TRACK RECORD

Leading 300+ authors to publication.

Publishing Manager & Head Book Writing Coach

Inspirational Book Writers 40th Event

· 300+ books published since 2014 As Publishing Manager and Head Coach for IBW's Online Book Writing Intensives, Davina has led over 275 authors through the process of writing, publishing and launching their books. She is known within the IBW community as "The Oracle" for her intuitive insight and the quality of her coaching and support.

I'm also a two-time published author with lived experience across twenty years of bodywork, healing, counselling and coaching — which means when I stand in front of a room and speak about resilience, energy management, or the hidden cost of high achievement, I'm not delivering a framework. I'm talking from inside the experience.

I feel very honoured and blessed to have her (Davina) in my corner and my cheerleading squad in life. She is absolutely amazing and a pure vessel of love.

I first met Davina at a self development workshop in Brisbane in 2016. Little did I know that this crossing of life paths would have a significant influence on my life. Over the past 10 years Davina has been a beacon of light, a pillar of certainty and a reassuring sound board to support my life journey. She has a special gift of being able to forecast the future and give the advice that is needed at the time. She predicted I would meet my now wife in New Zealand before I had even moved here. After my cancer diagnosis in 2024 of lymphoma she informed me that she felt it was testicular or prostate cancer and that it would be challenging but not life threatening which turned out to be 100% correct. There are many more situations where she has forecasted the future and provided comfort and certainty. I don’t know how she does it but I fully trust her intuition and gift as it has never let me down."

TALK TOPICS

What I speak about.

01

Resilient as F**k - The Subtle Art of Bending Not Breaking

Based on the book of the same name. This talk dismantles the myth of resilience as toughness and replaces it with something more useful: the seven qualities that genuinely resilient people embody, and how to cultivate them before you hit rock bottom. Practical, honest, and deeply human.

BEST FOR: leadership teams, women in business events, conferences on workplace wellbeing.

02

The Hidden Cost of High Performance

A talk for the high-achiever who is succeeding on the outside and running on empty on the inside. What happens when you've optimised everything and the exhaustion still doesn't shift? This talk explores the body-mind-energy connection and gives people a new framework for sustainable performance.

BEST FOR: executive teams, high-performance organisations, leadership retreats.

03

Returning to Yourself — A Return to Love

Based on What the Hell. This talk goes deeper — into identity, self-worth, and what it means to come home to yourself after years of performing, people-pleasing, or surviving. Raw, specific, and surprisingly practical.

BEST FOR: women's events, personal development conferences, mental health awareness contexts.

04

Trusting Your Intuition in Leadership & Business

A talk on the intelligence of the body and the cost of overriding it. Drawing on twenty years of energy work, counselling, and coaching, this talk makes a practical case for intuition as a leadership tool — with tools for actually accessing it under pressure.

BEST FOR: entrepreneurial audiences, female leadership programs, business retreats.

FORMAT & FIT

How this works

I speak at live events, conferences, leadership retreats, and corporate wellbeing programs — in person in Brisbane and southeast Queensland, and online for national and international events.

Talks can be keynote length (45–60 mins), shorter format (20–30 mins), or extended workshop style. I don't deliver off-the-shelf presentations — every talk is shaped around your audience and what you want them to walk away with.

If you're not sure which topic is right for your audience, reach out and tell me who'll be in the room. I'll tell you what I think will land.

"If you want a talk that moves people rather than simply impresses them — let's talk."
