Motivational Speaking

The Power of YOU Motivational Speaking: Inspiring Action, Igniting Lasting Change

Success demands more than just skill—it requires resilience, self-trust, and the ability to adapt without losing who you are. Whether you’re a senior leader navigating the pressures of influence or a rising professional striving to feel as confident as you appear, one truth remains: the relationship you have with yourself determines how you show up in the world.

With over 30 years of global experience spanning senior corporate roles, business ownership, and leadership coaching, I’ve worked with executives and professionals at firms like SwissRe and Saatchi. But my insights don’t just come from the boardroom. As a primary caregiver for my late parents and a survivor of aggressive breast cancer, I’ve lived the reality of resilience—not as a buzzword, but as a necessity for moving forward in the face of challenge.

In my talks, I don’t offer generic motivation. I provide real strategies that respect what you already know, while equipping you with tools to build resilience, refine your personal brand, and strengthen your leadership presence. For executives, this means sustaining influence and relevance in a high-stakes world. For emerging professionals, it’s about developing the internal confidence to match your external success—without the weight of self-doubt.

True power isn’t about pretending to have it all together. It’s about owning who you are, navigating challenges with clarity, and stepping fully into your success—on your terms.

"I cannot express how inspirational and motivational our speaker Caro was at our AGM event. Just wow. Every single person in the room was engaged and responsive to the discussions being had, whether that be work related or at a personal level. It really felt as if the room had opened up. Post the event further discussions continued and individuals were engaging with one another in ways they hadn't before. So thank you Caro. We certainly will recommend you and hopefully see you again in the near future. Thank you, from us all at Capstone Hotel Management."

"Thank you so much for stepping in at short notice to facilitate the session on empowerment, as part of the Mentoring workshop for the AFA Leadership Coaching Program for Women in advertising. I was particularly impressed with the way you quickly grasped the brief and then prepared the session outline and hand out material, all in the space of 24 hours. And it was just what I wanted. The feedback was very positive - you are a natural presenter and you brought the content to life as well as related well to a tough audience of middle and top management from a variety of advertising agencies."

"Since attending Caro's workshop my life has changed DRASTICALLY!! I've learnt exactly what it is that in the past has stopped me living the life that I wished I had. And more importantly powerful techniques to change those limiting beliefs. Caro is driven, passionate and supportive and offers an environment that is conducive to growth, both professionally and personally. I cannot recommend her workshops highly enough, if I could offer you one thing it would be to stop letting life lead you, learn some skills, take the wheel, and create your future."

"I attended Caro's The Power of YOU Workshop and found it motivating and uplifting. The structure and content flowed together in a wonderfully logical sense. There was just the right amount of information in the seminar with enough openness and invitation from Caro to ask questions. Caro has a very natural style. Her personality resonates very well within the training she is delivering and it creates a natural flow, a feeling of being involved and her belief in what she is doing shines through. She has a natural and empathetic style that shines through."
