Sophie came to speak at one of our Women’s Network events and was a pleasure from start to finish. The guests really enjoyed her speech and over a week later people are still talking about her inspiring stories. Sophie was more than happy to speak to the guests before and after the event which added an extra special touch. Thank you Sophie for coming along and sharing your experiences with us, I hope we can work together in the future.

Sophie opened TEDx Liverpool 2016 in front of 900 people, and given her attitude and achievements she was an obvious choice.

Sophie is an exceptional speaker and human being who has gathered life experiences and ideas worth sharing!

She is as real as they come and fits brilliantly into the production and speaker team as well as being able to create an inspirational atmosphere with the audience.

Sophie provided a great perspective on developing a resilient, growth mindset to my cross-cultural team of approx. 60 when she spoke at our annual ‘All Hands’ conference in Madrid in July 2023. Inspiring, challenging but most importantly relatable – this was far more than a motivational talk. It was more like a training workshop on how to conquer any challenge that work (or life in general) throws at you through having a clear sense of your ‘why’ and training your mind for battle. Thanks Sophie for a great session that was very positively received by the team

Sophie was a fantastic guest speaker at our national conference and captivated the audience with her sense of positivity and energy. She provided a vibrant view of life and a refreshing perspective, which motivated the audience, in a humbling way, as she showed the depth of emotional strain and the resilience she brings, when carrying out her incredible challenges. The phrase ‘One Life, Live It’ was cemented in the minds of the audience and she provided a springboard to do the extraordinary!
