THE WORLDS IN OUR WORDS
From daily conversations to conference stages, phrases spill from our lips and fingertips without us even thinking about it, so what happens when we do? What happens when we grasp that there are worlds within our words and we can create new environments and experiences when we harness how we use them?
I’ve spent my entire life asking these questions and my obsession with words and how they work has led me all around the world. From stadiums to prisons, from TED stages to hospital wards, I’ve seen the way words can help, heal and become an instrument of hope.
I’d love to share some of what I’ve learnt along the way and equip you to do the same. We’ll cover it all, from how to own our stories and ask great questions to delivering speeches and having life-changing conversations and so much more.
