Past speaking engagements

Davos

London School of Economics


"Caroline is a highly engaging speaker who, unsurprisingly, commands the stage with ease. She has an energetic, interactive style incorporating elements of theatre, pulling the audience into 
the experience - rather than just talking at them."

​Lutfey Siddiqi, London School of Economics


Invite Caroline to speak


“Caroline provided a highly engaging, interactive workshop for our internal staff, leading discussion around our perceptions of behaviour and relationships and how we relate to others, which challenged some of our existing preconceptions. She then demonstrated how these preconceptions play out more widely in our lives (both in a professional and personal setting), using theatre as a way to introduce and communicate social change. China is developing at a rapid pace; having a strong awareness and understanding of local culture, language and social systems is key to our success as an organisation working and building relationships here. Due to her own impressive depth of knowledge of and ability to ‘navigate’ China, Caroline was able to focus discussion on how we empower others, and provided space to step back, reflect, and consider how what changes we could make to have stronger positive impact in our working environment both internally, and with those we engage externally from the local business, non-profit and government sectors. Her understanding of gender issues in China, and her passion for overcoming these, was especially impactful, and provided further opportunity to look at how we are supporting working parents in the workplace.”
