Keynote. Emcee. Moderator. Panelist.

Michelle is an accomplished speaker with great presence and gravitas.

She is well informed about contemporary issues in business, leadership, sport and of course, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Michelle is comfortable speaking about her areas of expertise in the board room, lecture theatre, conferences, broadcast media and of course on podcasts.

At the heart of her approach is a desire to enable leaders to get on with implementing their workplace gender equality, diversity and inclusion strategy and to level the playing field for women and girls across the globe.

Michelle fearlessly examines and challenges diverse groups of people from the boardroom through to the frontline to think differently about DEI with wit, humour and a high energy approach.

SPEAKING TOPICS

How to Move From Conversation to Action

There’s a lot of talk about the problem of workplace gender inequality. There is a lot of talk about the benefits of a gender diverse workforce. But how do leaders make it happen? Michelle talks about blueprint for leaders to act, that leads to inclusive and gender balanced organisations.

Lead from Personal Greatness

Defining inclusive leadership for leaders of people and organisations

• We know that inclusion is an essential attribute of the 21st Century Leader.

• We know that when employees think their organisation is committed to diversity and they feel included, the business reports better business performance.

• We also know that leaders require access to insights and inspiration to learn how to lead more inclusively in modern-day business.

Michelle Redfern will help you discover that like other critical leadership skills, inclusion can be learned.

Michelle Redfern was a guest speaker at the SEDA College International Women's Day event. From the moment she began speaking she captured the attention of our students with her honest and down to earth manner. Her initial activity had them locked in on their competitive nature and ensured they remained invested in the whole presentation. Michelle was able to engage them with real life examples that resonated with the students and helped them to understand the challenges faced by women today in our society. Michelle’s presentation was really tailored to her audience and provided some great insight to the challenges of Women in sport and the massive potential for sport to grow with inclusive practices. We would recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking to move the conversation about gender diversity to the next level.
