Speaking

I’d rather say one useful thing than fifty inspiring ones.

I speak to universities, student communities, businesses, conferences and podcasts. Not motivation — mechanics. What actually happens after the visa, what it costs, and what to do about it.
Topics

What I talk about.

01

What happens after the visa

For universities, student services and student communities.
  • The gap nobody prepares them for
  • The first 90 days
  • Money, work and the real cost
  • Why capable students stall
02

The number nobody shows students

The arithmetic of studying abroad, done honestly.
  • Why hours are not the lever
  • What the 48-hour cap really means
  • The rate, and how to move it
  • Working legally and still finishing ahead
03

Building something from nothing

For business audiences, founders and emerging leaders.
  • Starting with no network and no precedent
  • Leadership in a regulated industry
  • Ups, downs, and what each one taught
  • Systems over tasks
04

Starting again

For anyone rebuilding after something ended.
  • Resilience without the slogans
  • Turning experience into action
  • What I got wrong, and the cost
Formats

However it’s useful.

Happy to shape it around your audience rather than deliver a set piece.
