YOUR NEXT SPEAKER | FACILITATOR | EMCEE
As a keynote speaker, facilitator, or MC, I create energising environments where learning, connection, and transformation happen naturally. My approach develops conversations and connections, as powerful tools to spark insights, build trust, and strengthen relationships—key drivers of both personal and professional success.
Often participants at events, workshops and conferences are challenged by having to step out of their comfort zones, develop new skills, and engage meaningfully with others.
I understand that these networking moments can be intimidating, but I transform them into opportunities for significant personal and professional growth.
Hurdles event organisers face
To address the common hurdles event organisers face, such as participant engagement and networking anxiety, I design and facilitate interactive sessions that actively involve attendees, making the event both dynamic and memorable. By incorporating real-world insights and engaging activities, I empower attendees with the confidence and strategies to approach networking with enthusiasm and clarity. This approach helps turn every conversation into a stepping stone toward achieving their goals.
Powerful opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Participants, have diverse needs and personalities. My sessions are tailored to ensure that everyone—from beginners to seasoned professionals—finds value and relevance. The environment is crafted to be relaxed, enjoyable, and energising, encouraging people to engage and connect comfortably. They gain confidence in their networking abilities, leading to more productive and enjoyable interactions. Ultimately, the event stands out as a positive, impactful experience, generating high satisfaction and sparking opportunities for new collaborations, partnerships, and success.
By addressing these challenges, I help event organisers create memorable, impactful experiences that leave a lasting impression on all attendees.
“Kerryn’s keynote left us not only understanding why personal and professional networks matter more than ever in this changing environment but also with an understanding of how to influence more, collaborate better, drive impact and future proof through collaboration.

“Kerryn Powell's presentation at Intrepid Minds’ 4th Annual Executive Assistant Congress in Melbourne was one of the standouts of this Congress. Her focus on the importance of building networks for Executive Assistants was engaging, informative, and instructive.
Kerryn's delivery, and the activities she incorporated, kept delegates engaged throughout the session. Through her evident expertise, Kerryn provided practical advice, with an emphasis on real-world examples, making her content relatable and actionable.
What I found most valuable was Kerryn's real passion for empowering not just Executive Assistants but people across-the-board. She effectively communicated and demonstrated the significance of networking for developing both career-related and personal relationships, leaving delegates inspired and equipped with practical strategies.
I highly recommend Kerryn Powell as a speaker.”
