The Rise & Fall
Description
Bio:
I am The ReBel. I am a motivational speaker who coaches confidence. Unleashing the inner ReBel inside everyone who hears me speak Keynote speaking, motivational speaking, confidence speaking I speak at international events via zoom and UK wide in person
I am a Yorkshire lass born and bred. Lots of things happened in the year I was born especially that England won the world cup for the first and only time.
Mum was a cleaner at the Hospital and Stepdad was a miner. I came from a very working class background; these roots gave me the greatest start in life.
I am the mother of 2 fur babies. Luey and Melvin (no kids) and a wife to Christopher.
My background is sales at senior management level whether that be Sales Director or International Business Development Director. My career started in Yorkshire but eventually led me to the Big City where I worked alongside international and national Organisations such as Reed Recruitment, Guardian Glass, Saint Gobain, Orange (EE now) and British Gas.
I’m a strong believer that you keep trying until you get it right. Two failed marriages. 3rd time is a work in progress but its getting there.
I live my life following 12 powerful words. My keynote talk encompasses all of these words. I make a mistake every day and I learn something new every single day. What makes an expert… exactly this.
I believe everyone has hidden confidence inside of them and I work with people every day of my life to bring this confidence out of them. Its all about them, never about me.
I have spoken in public over 500 times. The Business Show at Xcel, The Wakefield Business Conference, TBNS (keynote), Asset Academy International Symposium and at many national networking events. I also speak weekly at Network Central and 4Networking online and face to face events.
