Speaking
For conferences, panels discussions and Q&A sessions
I excel at identifying experts with different points of view to form insightful panel discussions, whether that be in the Culture Mile, the Health & Wellbeing Symposium in Setúbal, Portugal, or the Culture, Health & Wellbeing International Conference 2021. I’m available to chair panel discussions, to curate and invite guests to build diverse panels, or to participate on the panel itself.
Tessa curated a series of four discussion panels, bringing together the arts and business worlds for mutual benefit. She chaired “Exploring the Role of Culture and Creativity in Business”, a session that captured panellists’ experiences and views on the value that culture and creativity can add to workplaces, from inspiring creative thinking and new solutions to boosting staff well-being.

“Tessa’s strength of critical thinking and ability to easily build personal connections meant that the Talk series offered numerous fascinating insights into the topics and led to new partnerships being created across the area. I knew the first time we met that we could do something exciting together and I’m so glad we found the opportunity. Thank you so much for all your incredible work, care and generosity.”
