About Speaker Buzz
The mental, emotional and physical welfare of people and our planet has never been as important as it is now.
Our speakers all want to make a positive contribution to the world by giving talks and sharing ideas that inspire people and change lives… we call it ‘inspiration with impact’.
Currently our roster includes individuals who are explorers, pioneers, entrepreneurs, innovators, activists, writers, world-leading experts and campaigners.
Any organisation interested in developing the minds and emotions of its workforce, clients, delegates, members or students should get in touch.

"Mollie Hughes has the natural ability to take the qualities required to climb to the roof of the world and make them resonate with audiences as varied as impressionable school children, to hard to impress business communities. Young or old, male or female long after Mollie has left the room she continues to inspire others if not to climb; then certainly to move mountains to achieve their dreams."
“Celia Hodson is a powerful, inspirational and thought provoking speaker. Celia’s passion is infectious and her dynamism really captures a room and challenges you to think differently. Celia is not only a thought leader, her advice gives real life examples and tips that can be applied every day. I have been fortunate to work with Celia at different events across the last few years and she never fails to bring a fresh perspective, positive energy and motivational attitude to each.”
“Cal Major was the perfect keynote speaker - able to relate to every single person in the room and share her stories and mission in a humbling and inspiring way. I had so many comments about her after the event about how helpful her talk was. It was the icing on the cake that she was also selected as the Polly Birch Award winner too for her environmental efforts to leave a positive stamp on this earth.”
"Just wanted to say a big thanks to Laura for her great workshop. It was good fun, she had really high energy and was the perfect fit for our culture internally! Laura kept the session upbeat and interactive and we have had really good feedback so far. Keep up the awesomeness!"
"John Hatfield was a valuable contribution to our conference. Communication is everything and the core message he gave was spot on. We can only work effectively if we communicate effectively, especially in a geographically distributed business. The human element in any business is core to making people feel like they belong and diversity of style needs to be welcomed."
