Speaking to younger audiences has always been important to me and I know first-hand how education can change your life. So when my good friend and fellow Young Global Leader, Julia Novy, asked me to lecture virtually to her students at Stanford University in the USA, I jumped at the chance! Julia asked me to focus on sustainability and so I prepared a presentation for students covering adaptation and resilience (those climate buzz words!) linked to my role as an athlete and my identity as a woman with a disability. We covered some complex topics and areas but it was worth staying up late to deliver the lecture in real time through Zoom. I love speaking to all different age groups and audiences, so please do reach out if you want a bespoke athlete speaker to tailor to whatever business, academic or government theme and needs you are looking to explore…!
