Motivational Speaking

Description

Hi, welcome to my profile… I’m Naomi, a London 2012 Paralympic Gold, and Beijing 2008 Bronze medallist. I also have 6 x World Champion and Guinness World Record to my name.

I am a speaker, a story teller and a facilitator and the golden threads that run through all I do are resilience and building trust in high performing teams. I have been delivering inspiration and relatable keynote speeches for almost 17 years, honing my craft and learning more every time I stand on stage.

My audiences have ranged in age from primary school to the WI, and have spanned industries and charities… some of my clients include; Porsche, NHS, Viridor, Ngithline, the HSA, Smarth Raspberry Cookery School & Altezza People UK.

I don’t just tell a story, I translates the mindset that took me to the top of international sport… and helped me overcome the daily realities of living with a disability… into lessons your people can actually use.

Why Organisations Book Naomi?
Every talk, presentation and workshop engagement is built around one golden thread: Resilience. Clients don't just leave inspired and motivated… they leave changed. Individuals and teams walk away with:
• A genuine shift in mindset
• The confidence to take ownership of their own growth
• The ability to see possibility where they once saw limitation
Whether you need a high-impact keynote for a conference, an interactive workshop to build team resilience, trust & human connection… I tailor every engagement to your organisation's goals and the message YOU want to empart at your event.

How do YOU want the audience to feel when they leave the event?

Trust, transparency and human connection along with shared aspirations and targets, will create resilience in your business… but you need to start with each individual. I believe that resilient people are the fabric of a resilient business.

My story resonates just a powerfully in the school hall or at a charity fundraising gala as it does in the boardroom…

For Schools:
I delivery powerful and relatable speeches, sharing an honest, age-appropriate account of overcoming adversity, disability and self-doubt to reach the top of world sport. My talks leave students with real, practical tools for resilience, confidence and self-belief. My passion is authenticity, and I always try to deliver my talks with warms and humour.

Ideal for: assemblies, wellbeing days, sixth form/careers events, staff INSET days

For Charities:
I am an experienced charity conference and fundraising speaker, bringing a story of resilience that resonates deeply with cause-led audiences. I understands the unique energy of a charity event and do all I can to inspiring supporters, staff and beneficiaries alike, while aligning my message with your organisation's mission.

Ideal for: fundraising galas, conferences & staff/volunteer conferences

I look forward to connecting with you :)

Naomi, thank you so much for the incredible support you’ve given Absolutely Together. Through our work with local SEN schools, we aim to open doors to free leisure experiences and meaningful work opportunities — and your presentation at Manor Green School genuinely elevated that mission. The way you spoke to the students about resilience and facing life’s challenges was powerful. Seeing you share your own journey, openly and honestly, created an instant connection in the room. Your story didn’t just inspire them — it showed them what strength looks like in real life, from someone who has overcome significant obstacles herself. The impact you had on those young people was clear. You’re a truly inspirational speaker, and everyone who is fortunate enough to hear you leaves feeling more confident, more hopeful, and more capable of facing whatever comes next. Thank you for being part of this work and for making such a meaningful difference

Naomi was the perfect after dinner speaker for our 150-head event. The room was captivated throughout her moving and inspiring account of the path to Olympic Gold and beyond. Naomi's talk was accompanied by excellent visual aids and even the medal itself made an appearance! A story worth telling to any audience.

I've known Naomi for almost a decade, and during that time I've had the privilege of working alongside her and commissioning her services directly. Without hesitation, I will be hiring her again. There are plenty of professional speakers who can tell a great story. Naomi is different. If she's standing on a stage talking about resilience, leadership or overcoming adversity, you know she's lived every word. Her insight hasn't come from a textbook, it has been earned through experience, reflection, determination, life's knocks and an incredible amount of hard work. If there were an Olympics for people development, Naomi would be standing on the top step of the podium. Her keynote speaking, workshop facilitation, storytelling and ability to connect with people are genuinely world-class. She has that rare gift of making every person in the room feel like she's speaking directly to them. She'll make you laugh, challenge your thinking, move you emotionally and leave you with practical lessons that stay with you long after the event has finished. Naomi doesn't inspire because she's extraordinary—she inspires because she's wonderfully human. She shares the triumphs and setbacks with honesty, warmth and humour. People feel safe to think differently about themselves and what's possible because of her. She is one of the most resilient, hard-working professionals I've ever met and, quite simply, worth her weight in gold. If you're considering working with Naomi, stop considering and do it. Your audience, your team and your organisation will be better for the experience.
