Speaking and training

Words that influence

Chelsea has been speaking on stage since she was 8 years old. Her years of experience in public speaking competitions, acting in theatre productions, and working as a voice-over artist mean she knows how to command a room with poise and confidence.

Now, she’s available as a speaker and trainer at events, conferences , podcasts, and corporate organisations.

Previous speaking engagements

  • I presented a webinar on “Digital Lead Generation and Social Media Marketing” to financial advisers and brokers associated with Partners Life Insurance.

  • I travelled around New Zealand delivering in-person training for Dulux. These trainings helped small business owners/painters in the Dulux Group network understand the fundamentals of digital and social media marketing so they could grow their painting businesses. *Note: I was a contractor for an ad agency (TBMG NZ) for this engagement.

Why book Chelsea? 

  • Forbes contributor. As one of the only Forbes contributors hailing from New Zealand, your audience will enjoy a unique perspective from someone who’s visible on the world stage.
  • Speaking is in my blood. Capturing and retaining the attention of a room (let alone hundreds of people at once) is a rare skill. I’ve been perfecting the art of public speaking since I was a child; In fact, I won 1st place in my school’s speech competition when I was just 11 years old! #winnerwinnerchickendinner
  • My voice as a storytelling instrument. As a professional voice-over artist and trained theatre actor, I can dynamically use my voice to convey emotion, key messages, and nuance. No one falls asleep on my watch!

Signature talks

  • The Fundamentals of Digital Marketing And Social Media for Businesses
  • Digital marketing, content, and social media “best practices” change rapidly. It’s hard to keep up (let alone do a good job!). The audience will learn fundamental strategies to help them grow their business, feeling empowered to use the tools and platforms available in a sustainable way, rather than feeling overwhelmed. It can be tailored to B2C or B2B audiences.
  • Building Trust, Visibility And Credibility
  • Trust in social media and marketing is declining. And it’s harder to cut through the “slop” online. Drawing on my experience as a freelancer and Forbes contributor, the audience will learn how to build trust, credibility, and visibility to grow their business and personal brand. It will cover earning social proof through media features, writing for publications, creating a strong LinkedIn presence, the power of thought leadership content, and more.
  • The Road To Forbes: A Tale of a Multi-Disciplinary Millennial
  • Freelancing, side-hustling, fractional work, portfolio careers… whatever you call it, it’s safe to say that you don’t have to choose between corporate life OR business anymore. I’m living proof that freelancing and succeeding in a corporate career is possible! This talk will share my journey of navigating both worlds, forging my own path, diversifying my income, and eventually achieving my dream of becoming a freelance writer for the world’s largest business publications – all from little ol’ New Zealand!
