KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Stories and lessons on curiosity, courage and action
Thinking Innovatively
Fiona launched an 800-mile expedition with no experience on the water. Her advantage wasn’t skill, but perspective. She shares practical ways to rethink problems, challenge assumptions, and turn an impossible idea into a workable plan — even when you feel completely out of your depth.
Leading in Uncertainty
When the route changes daily and conditions are out of your control, rigid plans fail. Fiona’s adaptive approach — tested across start-ups and open water — shows teams how to stay decisive, support each other, and keep moving when there’s no clear path.
Building Momentum
From cycling 1,000 miles across the country to building brands from scratch, Fiona knows momentum isn’t about motivation — it’s about systems, boundaries, and showing up consistently. She shows how small, deliberate action compounds into extraordinary results.
THINK DIFFERENTLY
Fiona draws on her experience in start-ups and endurance adventure to share practical lessons on courage in innovation, perseverance under uncertainty and action to build momentum.
Whether speaking to graduates, founders or teams, Fiona brings authentic and practical lessons on possibility.
