“We don’t need more role models, we need more real models. We need to remember the power of authenticity and the power of vulnerability. Let’s make being real ideal. Maybe we shouldn’t inspire others to be another version of us, but a better version of themselves. Being a real model is more powerful than being a role model.

“We are not human doings but human beings, people can not connect with us because of what we do, they connect with us because of who we are – This is an awakening on the importance of prioritizing your happiness. If securing the bag means you are going to lose yourself – then you’re doing it all wrong. This keynote explores the importance of ensuring you are being fulfilled and not just functioning.”

“After nearly committed suicide in 2016, Hayley heard a story that changed her life. Not only does she share her story of overcoming depression and anxiety, but she also expresses what she was able to do to get herself out of a suicidal place. With mental health issues on the rise, she shares tips on how to sustain your mental health and how to prioritise your wellness as well as implement a healthy work-life balance into your life”

“The best present you can give anyone is your presence. In a time where the world “social distancing” has become popular, can we also make the word “support” popular? No one flourishes in an environment where they are tolerated, they flourish in environments where they are celebrated.”

Diversity is not just about hiring more diverse talent, but having a greater understanding behind culture and what could make your working environment more fitting for diverse talent?

Hayley has insight of over 100,000 young people across the world.
