THE BASICS
Why should I book you?
Because I'm an awesome speaker and a brilliant strategist. 😁
No, seriously, why?
Because I'm an awesome speaker and strategist ... who spent 2011 to 2025 to refine the strategy and daily operations of the business I founded, shaping it into a 7-figure company I could run:
These days, I travel around the world to answer the "what now?" and "what next?" questions asked by boards, CEOs, and audiences dealing with demanding and changing environments.
- without sleepless nights,
- without burning out every quarter,
- with high staff and client retention, and
- with enough time and energy for family, health and volunteer opportunities.

What is the main takeaway of all your SESSIONS?
In short, whatever the topic is, the audience takeaway after a session (keynote, strategy session, team workshop) with me is usually: "I know exactly which next steps to take, and I have newfound courage to for what needs to be done. I've got this!"
This is what you think your journey as business leader will be when you start out.

This is the actual reality for MANY business owners/leaders find themselves.
|
This is possible. I know this because I'm living this.
|
They won't admit it, but most business leaders (owners, directors, executives, senior management) feel overwhelmed from time to time ... or simply all the time ... by daily details, the incredible speed of change, or both!
Lately, a layer of AI on top of almost everything seems to make things even more overwhelming.
Being stuck in the details of the business (or the change it's facing) is often the downfall of highly talented entrepreneurs and executives. The relentless complexity of running a business erodes their excitement and energy to the point where they're just going through the motions in a desperate attempt to keep the business afloat.
Getting out of overwhelm or having confidence in what to do next requires laser-focused clarity.
When entrepreneurs and executives find clarity, they regain the belief, passion and courage they had when they first started out in business.

So which topics do you actually speak on?

What makes you different from otherS IN YOUR FIELD?
My sessions are:
My presentation style is:
What makes me different from other speakers? The same thing that makes YOU different from any other person planning an event ... your unique mix of skills, experience and natural talents that comes together in the perfect fit for the job at hand.
- based on real-life lessons
- high on practical frameworks that can be implemented immediately
- low on generic feel-good "fluffy" sentiments
- low on theory without translation into what it means practically
- contextualised for each specific audience
My presentation style is:
- unstoppably high energy
- unintentionally humorous
- consistently authentic
- compassionate towards the very real problems each individual audience member have to deal with

What is it like WORKING WITH YOU?
Low maintenance! My job is to make your job as event/session planner as easy as possible, so I will arrive on time for any planning sessions, dry-runs, AV checks, or last-minute instructions.
I will treat all your event service providers with respect, and if required, I'll be available to chat to delegates after my session. At your event I see myself not as a VIP, but as a member of your team that is responsible for creating an unforgettable and high value experience for your delegates.

THE EXTRAS
What are your qualifications and affiliations?
As part of figuring out what type of leader I want to be, I obtained my Ethics Officer qualification, and in my search for a holistic big picture view of business I maintain my Certified Director designation. To ensure I stay on top of the latest developments in the speaking profession, I maintain an active PSASA membership.
My career has allowed me to understand the challenges faced by a wide variety of professions and industry sectors (far too wide to accurately list here). An integral part of my preparation for any session is therefore ensuring that I understand who will be in the audience so I can provide relevant context and examples.

Do you work through speaker bureaus?
Sometimes. If a speaker agent approaches me with your query first, I will conduct our business through them and using their documentation and procedures. If you contact me directly (without prior involvement of a speaker agent), we will conduct our business directly with my documentation and processes. The fee you will be charged in either instance is however exactly the same.
You have co-authored two books. Will you be selling your books at my event?
I do not sell my books during any client sessions.
If you would like to secure the books for your event, we can negotiate a package that includes a set of books for each delegate, or a few sets to be used in a lucky draw or similar activity.

Juanita's story is an inspiring reminder that true success in speaking comes from a place of authenticity and a commitment to serving others.
