From a wellbeing talk your team politely claps for, to a keynote they are still quoting in meetings six months later — without the awkward, the preachy, or the risk of it landing wrong.
This keynote gives your audience the calm, honest, deeply human shift they have been waiting for, even if every other mental health speaker you have booked has left your people unchanged.

Keynote Speaker on Mental Health, Resilience, and Carer Wellbeing.
meet renee
You have booked speakers before. Some were good. Some were not.
The not so good ones showed up with a talk they give everywhere. They did not ask about your people. They did not tailor the message. They stood on stage, told their story, and left. By Monday, nothing had changed.
Renee is not that speaker.
She does the call before the event. She asks what your people are carrying. She builds the talk around your audience, your theme, and the outcome you want them to walk away with. She reviews her content with your team. She aligns with your duty of care, your brand, and your audience. And she leaves a shift in the room your people still feel a week later.
Why most wellbeing talks fall flat.
the difference
Because they are safe. Polished. Polite. Forgettable.
Your people have heard “you got this” before. They have heard the five steps to resilience. They have heard the toxic positivity. They have checked out by minute ten.
Renee takes a different path. She tells the truth. Calmly. Safely. Without drama. Without triggering the room. She names the quiet things your people are carrying but are not allowed to say at work. And she does it in a way your audience feels, not just hears.
That is when the real change starts.

A life most people could not survive, let alone speak about with clarity.
The Credibility Behind The Calm
Renee’s story is not theory. It is a life most people could not survive.
Open heart surgery as a child. Leaving an abusive relationship. Sole survivor of a fatal car crash. Now a mum to two young boys, one of whom is autistic and non verbal. And the founder of ASD Mum Club, a growing online community for carers raising autistic children worldwide.
Her authority is not built on theory. It is built on lived experience, carried with care, and shared with the calm steadiness that only comes from someone who has actually walked through it.
“
She knows what breaks a person. She knows what it takes to rebuild. And she knows how to share it in a way that moves a room without flattening it.

or email directly: info@reneespeaking.com
keynote one
A powerful keynote on the weight carers, parents, and leaders quietly carry. Your audience leaves feeling seen. Understood. And gently reminded they are allowed to put some of it down.
Great for carer groups, wellbeing days, inclusion events, and mental health programs.
keynote two
A story keynote on what it really takes to rebuild your mental health over and over again. Through loss. Through burnout. Through life that does not slow down. Honest. Calm. Deeply human.
Great for leadership offsites, mental health events, and teams facing change or hard times.
keynote three
A keynote for women, carers, and leaders who have learned to be strong but are running on empty. Renee shares how to stay steady without going hard. And how to look after yourself when no one else is doing it for you.
Great for women in business events, leadership summits, and corporate wellbeing programs.
What your audience walks away with.
AUDIENCE OUTCOMES
A deep feeling of being understood. The starting point for real safety at work
Permission to put down what they have been carrying in silence.
A real view of resilience. No toxic positivity. No pretending.
More energy to show up. At work. At home. For themselves.
Words for what they feel, so they can ask for help sooner.
A moment your team will talk about for months.
Safe in front of your people. Unforgettable for them.
Why Organisations Choose Renee
Because she is safe in front of your people. She is calm. She is kind. She does not shock. She does not push. She does not retraumatise the room.
She is also prepared. She shows up for the pre event call. She reviews her content with your team. She aligns with your duty of care and your brand. She delivers on time, on message, and on purpose.
And then she leaves a shift your people can still feel on Monday morning. The kind of shift that keeps your team connected. Lifts your culture. And reminds your people why you invested in them in the first place.
“She does not perform resilience. She lives it.”
A safe, trusted voice for big stage audiences.
DUTY OF CARE
Renee works closely with your event team to match every talk to your people, your brand, and your duty of care. Her content is thoughtful. Her delivery is calm. Her aim is to leave your audience steadier, not shaken.
Briefing calls, content review, and trigger warning planning are included as standard.

Having personally known Renee for over two decades, I can say without a doubt it is hard to find a more enthusiastic and passionate person when it comes to mental health advocacy. Renee exudes confidence but also has a lot of empathy, having the ability to connect with people from all age demographics and backgrounds. Would highly recommend booking her.
