Speaking

Talks that say the thing everyone's thinking but no one's saying out loud.

Jacqui speaks to audiences ready for honest conversations about midlife, identity, and the conditioning that quietly shapes how women show up: at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Topics

What Jacqui speaks about

Corporate Keynote

The Invisible Woman: Why Midlife Talent Is Your Greatest Untapped Asset

Signature Keynote

Midlife Isn't a Crisis. It's a Crossroads.

A reframe for audiences ready to hear it: midlife isn't something to survive. It's a turning point.

FAQ

Questions bookers usually ask

Do you travel?

Yes. Jacqui is based in the UK and available for events nationally and internationally. Travel and accommodation for in-person events outside of Manchester are covered as part of the booking.

Do you speak virtually?

Yes. Jacqui is set up for professional virtual delivery via Zoom, Teams, or your preferred platform. Online keynotes and workshops work particularly well for distributed teams and online summits.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as possible. Popular dates fill quickly. For corporate events, 4–8 weeks minimum is recommended. Jacqui does occasionally take last-minute bookings if the diary allows, so it's always worth asking.

Can the talk be tailored to our audience?

Always. Every engagement starts with a conversation about your audience, your event goals, and what you want people to leave thinking, feeling, or doing differently. Nothing is recycled.

What size audiences do you work with?

From intimate workshops of 10 to conference keynotes for hundreds. The format and delivery style adapt to the room. Jacqui is equally at home on a big stage and in a small group.

Do you have a speaker reel?

A reel is currently in production. In the meantime, get in touch directly. Jacqui is happy to arrange a brief call so you can get a feel for her speaking style before committing.
