SPEAKING


Keynote addresses. Panel interviewer. Master of ceremonies. Panelist. Guest speaker.


Through the power of honest and authentic storytelling, i strive to inspire innovation and motivate change.

In my presentations, I draw on my 20+ years experience working in multidisciplinary teams, large corporate organisations, as a female founder of a consultancy business and as a former Chairperson for Women in Technology (WiT).

My expertise ranges from digitisation, innovation, people and culture. I talk about operational and transformational change within an organisation and how to deal with these changes effectively.

My audiences ranges from large organisations of 7000+ to smaller organisations of 110+. I’ve worked with corporate, not-for-profit, and government organisations, as well as university student cohorts. I also facilitate workshops.

What do I speak about?

  • How digitisation has transformed the way we think and work, and how we can adapt to this change with positive and productive outcomes

  • The challenges of a female founder and what this can look like in an established organisation

  • How we can evolve our ways of “doing work” for more equitable access and psychologically safe environments

  • Artificial intelligence, machine learning and their ability to take the combative load off people; how it is changing the way we approach digital solutions


  • “Iyari is kind, incredibly personable, flexible, and most importantly has the ability to really connect to her audience. She does this through candor, naturally engaging style and action oriented ideas.”

    Suzi Milovic, HR Business Partner at Westfarmers Industrial and Safety

  • “Working with Iyari on the Real Women Unreal Stories podcast was a breeze - she brought the stories of Women in Technology to life and made them engaging to listen to in our interview. Iyari was relaxed and yet authoritative - a pleasure to speak to and a confident speaker in return. I am sure I will hear her authoritative and informed views in other forums!”

    Nance Haxton, Independent Freelance Journalist and podcaster at The Wandering Journo

  • “Iyari is an engaging speaker that manages to keep a large room of people captivated. She’s insightful and skilful in sharing and interacting with the audience and she does it with ease.“

    Lindsey Coleborne, Senior Communications Advisor at Senex Energy Limited

  • “She was very engaging and we had a number of team members who later commented how impactful her story was. Thank you.”

    Kate McLean, Partner at Deloitte Consulting
