Motivational Speaking
Events to inspire and entertain ... but most importantly, to change lives.
My personal philosophy on motivational speaking isn't about whether people will enjoy it and be inspired (although they will). I share practical tools to help them on the job the next day. It's about stepping up in their careers and lives, not just entertainment.
Own Your Energy is my signature, much-loved group mindset session, sharing practical tools for more confidence, presence and calm under pressure. From the heartfelt messages I receive, it's a much-needed theme in the workplace. We fit this session to your audience, time and space.

"Working with Candice was a wonderful experience. She was professional, well-prepared, and passionate about her work. Her session was very well-received, participants appreciated the practical, real-world strategies."

Making it work for you
Own your Energy, practical tools for confidence, presence and calm under pressure, can flex to your audience, time slot and physical space. In-person (Auckland) is my preference, but we can also do hybrid.
I've delivered this session to groups of 10 to 200, across mixed audiences, from new starters to senior leaders, technical specialists to sales teams, academics, lawyers, tertiary students and women's groups. It's a theme that resonates with so many. Seems every professional could do with some more confidence or calm.
I pride myself on being well organised and collaborative, making it a great experience for everyone involved in planning.
"Candice was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very first conversation. We tried something a little different with this event, running five remote hubs simultaneously alongside our main in-person attendees. Her session on owning your energy was practical, engaging, and packed with tools our members could pick up and use."

What people say
"I was admittedly cynical ... I couldn't have been more wrong. I was immediately given practicable, functional tools that gave tangible benefits to me."
"The team couldn't stop talking about how much they learned and the new tools they've added to their kit bag."
"Candice creates an environment where everyone feels comfortable and encouraged to participate by sharing her own relevant stories."
"Candice has a very calming and confident presence that draws immediate attention and respect."
Candice brought genuine energy and warmth to the room. The session was brilliant and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. She made the entire process seamless for us as organisers. We'd happily work with Candice again and would recommend her to any organisation looking to invest in their people.
