What Working Together Looks Like
Connect
We begin with your audience, your event and the change you want people to experience. Every talk is shaped around the people in the room, their context and what matters to them.
Evidence Over Emotion
Small promises create evidence. Your audience learns how self-trust is rebuilt through the everyday actions they take, the commitments they keep and the proof they create for themselves.
Trust-Tokens
Small promises create evidence. Your audience learns how self-trust is rebuilt through the everyday actions they take, the commitments they keep and the proof they create for themselves.
Put It Into Practice
The work has to leave the room with them. Audiences leave with practical ways to make decisions, keep promises to themselves, set boundaries and take action they can trust.
Signature Keynotes
"Success Should Never Cost You Yourself"
Success can look very different from the inside. This keynote explores the hidden cost of holding everything together, over-functioning, losing touch with your own needs and gradually becoming disconnected from the woman behind the success.
Audience will leave with:
~ A clearer understanding of self-disconnection and the patterns that contribute to it
~ Recognition of the hidden cost of over-responsibility and over-functioning
~ Practical ways to begin reconnecting with themselves
Ideal for: Leadership ~ Corporate Wellbeing ~ Women's Conferences ~ Entrepreneurship Events
"Trust Tokens: Evidence Over Emotion"
Self-trust is built through evidence. In this practical keynote, Dee introduces Trust Tokens and shows how small promises, followed through on consistently, create evidence that you can rely on yourself. She also explores why the emotion you experience in a moment is not always the best evidence for the decision you need to make.
Audience will leave with:
~ An understanding of Trust Tokens and how they rebuild self-trust
~ A practical way to create evidence through small, measurable commitments
~ A clearer way to separate emotional reactions from the evidence available to them
Ideal for:
Leadership ~ Corporate Teams ~ Women's Communities ~ Founder Communities
"Becoming Her Again"
What happens when the woman who built the successful life no longer recognises herself within it?
Drawing on her own journey and her work with women, Dee explores identity, self-disconnection and the process of rebuilding the relationship you have with yourself.
Audience will leave with:
~ A deeper understanding of what self-disconnection can look like
~ A new perspective on identity, success and who they have become along the way
~ Practical ways to begin rebuilding self-trust and reconnecting with themselves
Ideal for:
Women's Retreats ~ Personal Development ~ Women's Conferences ~ Founder Communities
Every keynote is tailored to your audience while remaining rooted in the Self-Trust Method, bringing together Trust Tokens, practical psychology and the principle of Evidence Over Emotion.
Your audience won’t just hear ideas about self-trust. They’ll leave with practical ways to recognise their patterns, keep promises to themselves and create evidence they can rely on.
