Evidence alone doesn’t change minds.

Story can.

Over the past 25 years, I've worked inside and alongside governments, regulators, and enterprise organisations to navigate some of the most contested and high-stakes reform environments in the world.

One of those programs had never been attempted by any country before.

Whether I'm talking about political risk, the narrative behind reform, or the decisions that shape our communities, I combine real-world reform experience with an approach that actually moves people to act.

Speaking topics

  • The Future of Transport Safety: Innovation, Regulation & Political Risk

    Transport safety is no longer just a compliance issue - it’s a leadership, reputational, and strategic one.

    In this keynote, Claire explores:

    - Why traditional safety frameworks are no longer fit for purpose

    - How innovation, regulation, and public expectation are colliding

    - The political and reputational risks organisations don’t see coming

    - What leaders must do now to future-proof their systems

    Ideal for: Industry conferences, executive audiences, government and enterprise leaders

  • Policy Doesn’t Move People - Narrative Does

    Data alone doesn’t change behaviour. People change when they understand why something matters.

    Drawing on world-first reform experience, Claire shares:

    - Why so many safety and policy initiatives fail despite strong evidence

    - How narrative shapes behaviour, buy-in, and outcomes

    - The role of storytelling in large-scale reform

    - How leaders can create clarity instead of resistance

    Ideal for: Leadership forums, policy audiences, change and transformation events

  • Seeing Around Corners: Identifying Risk Before It Becomes Reality

    Most organisations don’t fail because they take risks. They fail because they don’t see them.

    This keynote unpacks:

    - The difference between risk-averse and risk-blind organisations

    - Early warning signs leaders often miss

    - How political, behavioural, and structural risks compound

    - How to build systems that anticipate rather than react

    Ideal for: Boards, executives, senior leadership teams
