“Cal speaks from the heart. Her passion and warmth are deeply infectious and inspiring”
I am a seasoned, international public speaker, and love using face to face storytelling to inspire and empower. From closing speeches at COP26, keynote speeches and celebration events, to conferences and corporate settings, adventure festivals, universities and schools, I tailor my presentations to each audience, happy to work with you on specific topics. Between 2020 and 2022 I have also delivered many talks and Q and A sessions via video call.
I work closely with photographers and film makers to document my adventures, and as such have a range of media available to accompany speeches and events. Also available are stand-alone film screenings and Q and As from a selection of our award winning films.
I am a presenter for films and media, and a host for live events and interviews. Please get in touch for more info.
“Incredible! Your passion and personality bring a real freshness to the subject.”
OCEAN CONSERVation and adventure:
The ocean is our planet’s life force, and it connects each and every one of us. I use tales from my adventures to bring our magnificent ocean and its inhabitants, their plights and the efforts to protect them, to life.
Our seas are facing unprecedented challenges. I am an experienced conservationist, well versed in the details of the nature, climate and plastic pollution crises. I am passionate about bringing biodiversity and nature to the forefront of the climate change narrative. Through my work and adventures, I work with many organisations and charities around the UK and have a deep understanding and passion for marine protection. I have had the pleasure of working with businesses and individuals to inspire the need to change, and empower them to do so with pride.
I strongly believe that a personal connection to nature is the first and most crucial step to driving a desire to protect our natural world. People protect what they love, but they can only love what they know. I am also a passionate advocate for time in nature for mental wellbeing, and feel that this is closely linked to positive environmentalism.
