Keynote Speaking
Not your average athlete talk
I don’t just deliver keynote speeches – I take audiences inside the high-stakes, high-pressure world of elite sport, not with clichés or medal moments, but with honest stories, sharp insights, and tools you can actually use.
This isn’t about being inspirational for the sake of it. It’s about reframing how we think about performance, resilience, leadership, and what it means to show up under pressure – whether you’re on the start line, in the boardroom, or navigating life’s next big leap.
Every talk is tailored, energetic, and built to spark real reflection and action.
“Lizzie was the perfect choice for our annual all hands company conference. The briefing she put together was perfect, no notes from me and her delivery on the day was exceptional. It couldn’t have gone better, interactive, funny, heartwarming and nailing the key messages from the day. An utter delight to work with and someone I hope to work with again the future.”

What do I talk about?
As a speaker, I share stories and strategies that challenge the norm and open up new ways to think about leadership, resilience, and performance. Some common topic choices:
- Olympic unfiltered – raw lessons from the pool deck
- Everyday mountain climbing – finding magic in the grind
- De-stigmatising stress – mastering pressure without burning out
- Feedback bootcamp – honest, helpful, habit-forming
- Collaboration alchemy – breaking silos, building trust
I’ve delivered talks in all sorts of settings – from conference centres to gym floors, boardrooms to muddy fields – the weirder the better. I usually bring slides (because who doesn’t love a good picture), but I’m just as happy going low-tech if that suits your team best.
“Lizzie was an excellent choice for our team offsite day! From the moment she started, she was relatable, relaxed, and genuinely funny, instantly connecting with everyone. After just a short conversation, she quickly identified key themes relevant to our day’s topic, which was incredibly impressive. Our team absolutely loved how frank and raw she was. Her talk deeply resonated with us, truly validating our feelings on topics like pace, burnout, and the importance of proactive rest, while also empowering us to own these challenges. Lizzie also gave us a fresh perspective on viewing feedback, which was a game-changer. We left feeling genuinely inspired and motivated—thank you, Lizzie, for an unforgettable and impactful session!”
