The act
Leona has run large budgets for Microsoft UK and built her own award winning team building company, Cheeky Food Events, over seventeen years before selling it. She's led more than 3,000 workshops, keynotes and corporate leadership sessions. She's also kayaked with killer whales, camped in Antarctica, MC'd Master Chef Live, run a half marathon around Uluru, and once got 300 CEOs cooking a feast together at the same time. Twenty years of NLP training underpin the storytelling. Sessions combine a keynote with heavy audience engagement, customised to the conference theme, and pair well with a workshop, an executive retreat, or a team cooking event.

Good to know
What to expect
It's a keynote, but the audience doesn't get to sit back through it. Leona builds heavy engagement into the session and shapes the whole thing around your conference theme and the actual challenges your people are facing, so the material arrives pointed at them rather than delivered at them. Pair it with a workshop and the day goes further, which is how it's most often booked.
Performance options
The speaking works on its own and it works better bolted to something. A workshop after the keynote is the common pairing. Beyond that, Leona runs team cooking events where participants do the cooking themselves, which draws on the team building company she built and ran for seventeen years. She also speaks regularly with the CEO Institute, and executive team retreats and in-depth offsites sit within what she does. Tell her the shape of the day and she'll put the pieces together around it.
