“Celia left a lasting impact on our approach to strategy, goal setting and decision making.  It’s her remarkable ability to produce ‘simplicity in complexity’ that enthuses and invigorates otherwise cumbersome processes, using everyone’s strengths.”

90% of Mistakes Are Errors of Perception, Not Logical Mistakes:

Broaden your perspective before limiting yourself to available options as you commit to action.  Combine critical and creative thinking and explore alterative ideas to avoid making mistakes.

Indecision Costs More Than Recovering From A Bad Decision:

Not committing to action consumes resources, depletes inspiration and confuses consequences. A big pain in business, it is quickly overcome by constructively understanding diverse opinions.

Creative Company Cultures Outperform Competitive Peers:

Over 80% of all organisations continue to operate with competitive, defence cultures at their core.  People playing politics stifle growth.  Toxic energy endangers opportunity as leaders fuel frustration.

Overcome Fears by Upgrading Mindsets with Fresh Ideas

Productivity ebbs, mental health prevails and A.I. is influencing actions.  Mindsets must also upgrade if innovation is the next new solution.  Advance ideas by combining critical and creative thinking to deliver fast, fresh results - in business and life.

"An Energetic and Inspiring Keynote Speaker on Innovation and Transformation" Scamp Speakers

"A huge 'thank you' for your presentation and engagement with our audience.  This was a really compelling story and I could see how much your thoughts resonated with the audience. Inspirational to say the least, and I cannot thank you enough - everyone really enjoyed your presentation and the views that you contributed to the plenary...  Thank you also for networking with our Chartered Directors at the end of the day - they really appreciated it and learned much. Thank you also for your patience with us and for delivering what was exceptional." 

 

Celia spoke at the Chartered Directors Seminar, IoD London

“Thank you for your wonderful words to me and the audience, who heard you at the summit. I do not know if you are aware about your views, which was out in the national paper-"innovation, credibility and connection solve current challenges". The national paper is the most widely read paper in Nepal so, you touched the thoughts of many readers as well as inspiring the women who attended!”

 

Celia spoke at the South Asian Women Development Forum, Kathmandu Nepal

“Celia facilitated a series of brainstorms with members from 117 countries, in Istanbul, for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2018.  Her smart techniques, boundless energy and inspiring nature brought conflicting parties to consensus, motivated members to think more broadly and delivered a clear collective strategy, our movement is now building on.  I thoroughly recommend Celia, her authentic presence, practical communication tools and approach to ‘energizing fresh thinking’ as a speaker or facilitator at any event intending to deliver change.”

Celia conducted a series of workshops at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress, Istanbul

"'As part of our enrichment week activities, Celia delivered her 'Whether Systems' workshop to academics and postgraduate students at the Business School. Her fresh approach left everyone with the clarity to progress their individual research projects - we will certainly be inviting her back again'."
