Few more facts

• Keynote Speaker, facilitator and MC: Once confused as an Australian popstar in Capri (almost fulfilling her childhood ambition haha), she’s since traded singing for speaking to help leaders and entrepreneurs have an a-ha moment & imagine new ways of doing things.
• Brand and Communications Specialist: It all began with a comms campaign influencing 40,000 Westpac employees to become Our Tomorrow champions (to take small steps towards sustainability), and now she’s obsessed with how to lead, inspire and affect change. After 15 years as a comms specialist, if you could communicate it she’s probably done it, and now helps organisations to lead and team better in a beyond covid world.
• Small Business and Online Influence: Kirryn’s helped thousands of small businesses in the last 5 years, creating workshops for the Business Connect program (NSW) and Australian Small Business Advisory Services (federal) programs. She’s also written a book called The Stand out Effect  to help leaders get known and grow online.
•  Life long learner & board enthusiast: B Comm, M Mgt and GAICD and a Non-Executive Director on two not-for-profit boards and has worked with some of the world’s best experts Michael Grinder, Leanne Christie, Allan Parker, Michelle Bowden, Colin James & Matt Church.
• What else? Kirryn is married to Toby (an amazing photographer), has two adorable kids Harper and Bailey and loves conversations about business, travel or faith over a good South Aussie red (or I’ll take bubbles).
