Speaking

Big ideas. Sharp stories.

I bring ideas to life on stage — delivering keynotes, MCing events, and moderating and chairing panels for corporate, government, industry and conference audiences across New Zealand and Australia.

I speak on women, work, wealth, money, courage and change — bringing research, humour and a healthy dose of troublemaking to the stage.

My work spans pioneering Rich in Context research across Australia and New Zealand, working directly with women through Hi Money, and tackling complex systems through Project Gender.

I’ve built businesses, written two books, launched campaigns, challenged institutions, made media — and sailed across the Pacific with a one-year-old.

MY SIGNATURE TALKS

  • Best for Women’s Groups, Conferences

    Consider this the conversation you should’ve had at 13 and the one you want your daughters to have now.

    Nobody sat you down and explained how money actually works — who wrote the rules, how the system is, or what you’re allowed to want.

    A fresh, funny and thought-provoking look at women, money and wealth — from the beliefs that hold us back to what changes when women see themselves as people who can create, control and enjoy wealth.

    No budgeting. Not a spreadsheet in sight, just research, stories, humour.

    You’ll leave with some new ideas about money, choice, confidence and power.

  • Best for Financial Services

    The next generation of wealthy women is coming. Are you ready?

    The changing female wealth customer and what it means for financial services.

    This generation of women is inheriting, creating and controlling significant wealth. But the relationship between wealthy women and financial services is changing — particularly as wealth moves between generations.

    This talk explores what high-net-worth women actually need from advisers, why trust and relationships matter as much as returns, and why advisers who only know the patriarch of the family may find themselves losing the relationship when the wealth changes hands.

    You leave with: A sharper understanding of the female wealth customer — and what it means for relationships, service and growth.

  • Best for workplaces and HR teams

    Financial wellbeing is where mental health was 20 years ago, a growing workplace issue we’re only just learning how to tackle.

    Money stress affects concentration, confidence, productivity and performance. Research suggests employees can lose up to 20 hours a month to money worries.*

    I unpack the issues, challenges the usual “just budget better” approach, and I give employers practical, actionable steps they can take to improve financial wellbeing at work.

    You’ll leave understanding the problem — and knowing what to do about it.

  • Best for community groups.

    What happens when you say yes before you're ready?

    Courage, risk, reinvention and taking action without certainty.

    Angela has built businesses, launched campaigns, challenged institutions, made media — and sailed across the Pacific with a one-year-old.

    This is a funny, honest and practical talk about courage, risk, reinvention and doing the thing before you have certainty, permission or a five-year plan.

    You’ll leave with a different relationship with uncertainty — and a little more courage to act.
