Speaking

“I’ve just listened to Marie Skelton do a wonderful talk. She is an incredible human being and an amazing speaker. She talked all about change and she is a massive advocate of the Change Storm. I took notes down during the talk and really, really got a lot out of it.” Mal

Book a Speaking Opportunity with Marie Skelton

As a seasoned corporate presenter and coach, Marie gives professional and engaging talks and leads interactive workshops at schools, corporations, conferences and other organisations and events.

She can work with you to customise her talk to meet your needs and weave in current corporate challenges or context. She generally does keynote talks that range from 10-30 minutes, or panel discussions. She is busiest during May for Mental Health month, but also helps teams during corporate restructures or periods of large change (which, let’s be honest, is always!).

She has recently spoken at IAG‘s Mental Health Month panel discussion and spoke at I AM WOMAN 2021 for International Women’s Day.

“Her Change Storm talk about resilience is just amazing. I can see that she has a fantastic journey and a beautiful story to tell, and I recommend anyone taking her onboard.” Linda

  • be inspired and energised
  • be motivated to take control of your life

The Change Storm

Resilience is something we’re all told we need, but not many people are clear about how to get it. Let me explain why we’re all struggling to maintain resilience in today’s world and what we can do about it. Using the science of happiness and drawing on positive psychology and neuroscience, I break down the ways in which we can all be more resilient and and have higher life satisfaction. In this session, you’ll:

  • learn why many of us are not coping in this new world
  • discover the secret to building your resilience
  • explore the foundations for happiness and resilience

“I’ve just seen Marie Skelton give her keynote about the coming Change Storm and how we can all weather that storm. Marie’s story is inspiring. It’s incredible what she’s been through in her own life. And the fact that she’s going to take those experiences and what she’s learned from them and be able to give them to other people and organisations to help them navigate their own change storm, I highly recommend Marie as an inspiring and entertaining and powerful speaker.“ Nicki
