Hi !

I love to communicate about the power of creativity, the essentialness of creating work for the senses, the power of music and reasons to be hopeful in the face of existentialism. Existential optimism. That’s my brand :)

I've spoken at the House of Lords, TedX, Sadiq Kkhan (Mayor of London), Roundtables with the Metropolitan Police and more. My speeches have been featured by the BBC, Guardian and Channel 4.

Book me to speak at your event to ignite a mix of joy, eccentricity, motivation, and vulnerability.

Topics I love at the moment

  • The power of sensory art

  • Our 111 senses. Yes 111.

  • The politics of joy

  • Transformative justice ;) … say buh-bye to punitive systems, and say hello to…your imagination

“When Steph speaks, the entire room is captivated by her and hooked on her every word. She writes with true authenticity and sincerity, and delivers with confidence, conviction, and passion. Steph’s words never fail to leave a lasting impression on those she speaks to, and she continuously motivates others.

Her creative skills are apparent in her speeches, and she consistently brings unique and fresh perspectives, inspiring innovative work. It is an honour to work with her, and to have the trust and confidence that she will never fail to deliver. She is a truly visionary leader, and the driver of real, meaningful change.”
— Claire Waxman OBE, Victims Commissioner Mayor of London Policing and Crime Department
