Thank you, Vannessa, for delivering an engaging and insightful keynote at our Dropbox Live event for Australia in July. This was so well received and stimulated lots of great conversations with our customers and partners about the Neuroscience of Success.

Thank you also for the interactive internal session for the Dropbox APAC Sales Team, where we explored both strategies to drive success and our social motivators.

Both were great events with lasting impact!

Pia Broadley, Head of Sales APAC, Dropbox

I had the pleasure of attending Vannessa’s keynote on the neuroscience of leadership and the importance of connection and community, and I was thoroughly impressed. Her expertise in the field is clear, and she delivered the content with a lot of passion.

One of the key takeaways from her talk was the encouragement to “be curious, lean in.” Vannessa emphasised the significance of curiosity in unlocking new possibilities and how leaning into challenges can lead to personal and professional growth.

I wholeheartedly recommend her as a speaker who can inspire and educate any audience!

Heidi Schmit, Executive Assistant to the CEO NIBA

Vannessa delivered an exceptional keynote at our Dropbox Live event. The audience loved every bit of it, and during our internal debrief, the team was super impressed with the session. Cannot express how delighted we are with Vannessa’s contribution to Dropbox’s first thought leadership event in Australia!

Vannessa was so easy to work with for our first-ever Women’s event. From the initial scoping exercise through to post conference support, she exuded so much knowledge and expertise it provided the team and I with the confidence to not only achieve our purpose and objectives, but exceed our expectations.

Amy Singh, National Human Resources Manager, Douglas Partners.

Engaging & effective are the terms that come to my mind to describe Vannessa’s workshop and keynote. Vannessa provided an interactive Keynote session and a neuroscience workshop during our Consulting Women at Douglas Conference. Without hesitation, I recommend Vannessa if you are looking for valuable Leadership and Neuroscience insights to enhance the performance and well-being of your teams.

Stephanie Austruy, Content Creator, Douglas Partners. 

Thanks Vannessa for an engaging and informative keynote for our consulting women’s event! Your contributions toward planning our next 90 days and follow up coaching sessions have set us up for success.

Liz Wright, Learning and Development Lead, Douglas Partners 

Vannessa recently conducted a team building program for our marketing team to help us understand what is involved to rewire our brains for success. Easy to digest model to help us connect effectively with others in the team whilst leveraging their strengths and capabilities. Vannessa’s approach is engaging, interactive, informative, consultative and fun, I would highly recommend leveraging Vannessa’s knowledge and approach for taking team performance to the next level.

Vannessa delivered a keynote for an event that my organisation hosted and she provided an excellent, informative, humorous and engaging presentation into the neurology behind innovative thinking. Best of all, Vannessa was able to tie this insight together with real-world applications and provide practical ways for people to tap into their neurological mechanisms to foster more innovative and creative thought.

Leon Spencer | Editor at IDG Communications

We had the opportunity to have Vannessa talk to our leadership cohort at our very first virtual leadership conference on Neuroleadership. When the pandemic hit, Vannessa was brilliant in working with us to recast the keynote as a virtual event and determining how we should run the keynote session. Vannessa assisted us in all the pre-planning and ensuring that all our delegates received material beforehand to make it an interactive event.

Vannessa provided the keynote, and it was a highlight. Many of the attendees referred to the material she covered in the subsequent workshops, how impactful it was and how they are looking forward to taking actions that they feel will provide more positive leadership for all our dedicated staff in these uncertain and different times. Of particular value to us was the ability to understand our physical and neurological responses to work and how to manage it.

I can recommend Vannessa as a speaker if you are looking to help your staff become better leaders, especially in these times of uncertainty.

Mike Brett | Chief Information Officer at Hearing Australia

I recently engaged Vannessa with a request to keynote and facilitate a webinar for my existing and target audience of C-suite, HR and Business Leaders.

From that point, she felt like an extension of the team! She was a fantastic partner and advocate throughout the planning process; going above and beyond to understand and help shape the session objectives, ensuring valuable outcomes for both the participants and my organisation. Her specialisation in the field of neuroscience provided a unique differentiator for the event’s leadership content, and directly assisted in high attendance acquisition.

During the session, her expert knowledge and charismatic presentation style drove high levels of participant interaction; with 98% attending for the full one hour duration, further enabling us to overachieve our benchmark KPIs for post event feedback and follow up brand engagements.

I definitely recommend Vannessa to any organisation seeking a keynote speaker, facilitator or leadership consultant to deliver an impactful experience for your internal or external business audiences.

Hannah Hale | Marketing Director APAC at Rizing

The thoughtfulness and content combined with a passion of belief made Vannessa’s presentation breathtaking. All companies large and small need her insights to survive this digital transformation era.

Get on board with Vannessa or get left behind.

Mark Travers | Connect and Collaborate Specialist, Ricoh Australia

Vannessa McCamley is an engaging and dynamic speaker and it was great to have her present on the neuroscience of leadership at the Institute of Managers and Leaders Masterclass: ‘Accidental Leader to Intentional Leader’ in March 2018. The material resonated well with our audience of technical specialists who were wanting to develop their leadership skills.

Vannessa’s presentation was a perfect blend of insight and humour and I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future.

Vannessa gave a thought-provoking presentation to our customers and partners on the topic of ‘The Importance of Mindset and Adaptability to Improve Business Results from a Neuroscience Perspective’. All in the audience were engaged and interested. Vannessa was swamped by attendees after each of the events.

Ashley Wearne, General Manager ANZ at Sophos

Vannessa McCamley presented at ICON’s Annual Conference on the topic of ‘Increasing Stakeholder Engagement through a Neuroscience lens’ it was interesting, engaging and provided practical strategies.

The audience had the opportunity to be the scientist of their own experiment, which was one of the highlighted discussions during the evening cocktail function. Vannessa is great to work with and I recommend her services.

Michelle Prior, General Manager ICON for Members, Board and Governance

Vannessa has been one of our guest speakers for our Sophos True Blue Defence Tour series in 8 locations in Australia, presenting on the topic of Cultivating a Neuroscience mindset for businesses to thrive with dealing with IT security changes’ and also being part of our Q&A panel discussion.

Vannessa shares insights on how to adapt in changing environments leveraging the power of Neuroplasticity, our brain’s ability to create new wiring that supports our goals. We have received positive feedback from our clients and partners in each location on how they valued the session plus had a queue of participants lined up after each presentation to ask more questions.

Vannessa’s presentations are professional, engaging, informative and entertaining. Vannessa fits in well with our team dynamics and is a pleasure to work with.

Kathleen Grahame
Senior Manager, Field and Channel Marketing ANZ at Sophos

Vannessa was great to work with during the EVOLVE2019 conference and for our national webinar held in May 2019. She is a passionate presenter with a positive attitude, and I have enjoyed working with her.

Vannessa has provided key insights along with tips and tricks that not only myself but my colleagues can implement in our work and personal lives. She received excellent feedback from our EVOLVE2019 delegates and a high approval rating regarding her topic and relevance to the industry.

I highly recommend Vannessa as a presenter for any who are looking to delve into the topic of digital burnout.

Teigan Hembling
Events and Education Coordinator at Meetings & Events Australia (MEA)

Vannessa spoke on the topic of ‘The Neuroscience of Leadership & Personal Development’ at our annual A.F.I.F conference (Australian Federation of International Forwarders) in Melbourne.

We enjoyed Vannessa’s presentation greatly. I observed that our conference attendees participated in the engaging activities willingly and I overheard conversations amongst participants eagerly discussing it later in the day!

Brian Lovell
CEO, AFIF

Vannessa McCamley is an incredibly engaging and vibrant presenter and she knows her material inside and out. Recently, Vannessa worked with us as a keynote speaker for the Sophos True Blue Defence Tour across 4 locations in Victoria and South Australia. She presented on the topic of ‘The Neuroscience of mindset and adaptability to improve business results’. Specifically, Vannessa discussed how people can improve themselves from a self-leadership perspective as well as how to improve stakeholder engagement within their own organizations and with clients.

Vannessa engaged the audience throughout her presentation and she was well received across the four locations. Interestingly, Vannessa was swamped by attendees after each of the events ended. Vannessa is a delight to work with and is a passionate Keynote Speaker, who has a lot of value to add to any organisation or association. I look forward to working with her again!

Steve Salisbury, Channel Account Executive, Sophos

I had the privilege of travelling with Vannessa on the Sophos TrueBlue Defence tour as co-presenters for the event. In an age where security is a business problem, not an information technology problem, Vannessa could apply Neuroscience namely, Neuroplasticity and the importance of mindset and adaptability to the subject.

Vannessa is an engaging presenter and has the ability to clearly articulate what is a complicated topic and apply them to modern business needs.

Ben Verschaeren, Global Security Specialist, Sophos

I was privileged to hear Vannessa present as part of the Sophos True Blue Defence Roadshow in Bendigo. Vannessa’s discussion about our number 1 asset in achieving our goals, our brain, was insightful, engaging and a bit of fun too. I’m looking forward to following Vannessa’s work and learning lots more about how to adapt and more efficiently use my thoughts and time to grow both in my employment and my part time business.

If you get the opportunity to hear Vannessa speak or to engage her in your workplace I have no doubt it will be a fruitful and inspiring experience for you. I also love Vannessa’s focus on changing the world to be a better place, as I have discovered through my own public speaking business that there is no greater reward than providing hope, inspiration and useful strategies to others.

Daryl Giles, Paralegal & Justice of the Peace, Ellinghaus Weill

Vannessa’s presentation at our CompTIA Community Meeting on how to create sustainable change in the digital age, was insightful and engaging to our IT Channel audience. Participants rated her highly as she struck just the right balance of science, humour and pragmatic suggestions.

Understanding how people think, regulate and adapt in times of change and uncertainty is beneficial to managing our busy lives more effectively. Having the neuroscience framework in which to apply key techniques was useful and practical. I would certainly recommend Vannessa as a keynote presenter.
