SPEAKERS

For someone to make it onto our wish list of awesome speakers, they needed to be a little bit badass and be true to themselves.

Each of the speakers we have collaborated with are people who are showing us how to navigate this mental world with courage, grace and a wee bit of rebel.

Through their actions they are lighting the road less travelled.

paula Gosney

A writer, businesswoman, warrior, speaker and mum. Fiercely honest, a passionate coach and a woman who knows we are much more capable than we allow ourselves to believe.

With a remarkable career, establishing her first of many successful business at the age of 21, it’s easy to think Paula has it all.

However, life threw some nasty curveballs her way....

Giving

When we give with no motive, no payback expected, many unseen forces come into play. There is no better way to create evidence for yourself of how valuable you are, than by contributing to those around you.

We have chosen to partner with The Women’s Refuge because we believe from the bottom of our hearts in helping those who are right in the middle of shit storm. We will be giving a nice big cheque to the Women’s Refuge at the end of this event.

We give because it feels good, it does good and it creates good. Thank you for being part of this.

She Says

Nicola and Paula created She Says Events to provide a platform for courageous, badass women to share their incredible knowledge, stories and wise words with the world.

Women are drowning in an ocean of should’s; relentlessly being held up against an ideal that is almost impossible to achieve. We are expected to be slim, fit and forever young, domestic goddesses, career women and some weird mix of a sex kitten and Mother Teresa.

She Says wants to contribute to the worldwide movement of women supporting women, women teaching women, women believing in women; knowing we are so much better when we connect, rather than compete and compare.

Paula Gosney

Paula Gosney is a coach, a writer, a successful entrepreneur and a warrior. She passionately believes people are so much more capable than they allow ourselves to believe.
