Fiona Brennan-Scott, Keynote Speaker

I speak to subject matter experts in leadership who require the tools and techniques for effective audience engagement.

This is delivered using an ‘Audience First’ approach. By understanding who the audience is and what they hope to gain by being there, I ensure every talk delivers more what is required.

Available in-person and online to any location worldwide.

Do I Specialise in Your Sector or Industry?

Statistically, those in STEM (Science, Technology, Maths, Medical, and Manufacturing) get the greatest return on investment from my talks. Historically, these industry leaders have achieved promotion from their expertise, outputs and results. The communication and presentation skills needed for leading teams have not been a necessary requirement up to a point.

However, knowing the right tools for effective communication becomes essential as the best people in these industries rise to leadership levels. I saw this while working in the corporate world at software, hardware and engineering companies.

I inspire individuals in this industry to recognise the value of engaging and connecting with their audiences, whether it’s their teams, peers, or fellow leaders.

Feedback from an Improv Workshop
Sizing Up Small Talk – October ’25

Additionally,

I have experience supporting women in business. Despite progress and a narrowing pay gap, boardrooms and conferences are still dominated by men, both physically and vocally. It’s a joy to help rising businesswomen find their voice in the workplace and believe it is my responsibility to be a role model and an advocate in this arena.

I understand the challenges; I have lived in four countries with different experiences of finding a voice, I know that speaking up and speaking out is essential to progression and sitting at the table.

And there’s more…

I’ve been asked to speak nationally on several topics, including the following:

  • “Future-Proofing Communication – Elevate your Impact in an Evolving World”
  • “A Consensual KISS of Feedback”
  • “Please be Upstanding” – communicating around bullying
  • “Sizing Up Small Talk” – overcoming anxiety in non-transactional conversation
  • “5 Simple Steps to Professional Remote Presence” and “Considerations when Presenting Professionally Online”
  • “Introducing the Value of Time to Think” – how the Ten Components of a Thinking Environment© increases the quality of meetings
  • “Lessons from an Irish Publican’s Daughter” is a light-hearted, entertaining motivational speech
  • “The Value of Multiple Intelligent People” is an awareness-raising talk promoting equality and diversity in the workplace and communities.
  • We also deliver bespoke talks on subjects on request. Book a Discovery Call to discuss your requirements.

We can supply Recommendations on request for all of these talks and webinars, or you can find them on Fiona’s LinkedIn Profile. You can also find samples of most of the talks on her YouTube channel.

A Testimonial

Professional Speaking Association South East and Fellow of the PSA, ✨ Julie Holmes, MA, CPAE wrote the following testimonial:

“Hearing Fiona Brennan-Scott speak is an experience you don’t forget. As we used to say, her voice is like butter—smooth, captivating, and just delightful to listen to (cue the Saturday Night Live reference!). I had the chance to see Fiona present at an association event, and she absolutely nailed it with her insights on presenting and connecting with an audience.

What really stood out was how practical and approachable her advice was. Fiona doesn’t just tell you what to do—she gives you the tools to actually make it happen. Her tips on commanding a room and building stronger connections felt so actionable that I was already thinking about how to use them before I left the session.

What’s even better is her genuine passion for helping others shine. She’s all about levelling the playing field and giving everyone a chance to communicate with confidence and authenticity. You can tell she really cares about the people she works with, and that energy is contagious.

Fiona is a rare talent, and I’d jump at the chance to hear her speak again or work with her more closely. If you’re looking to up your communication game or just learn from someone who knows how to connect, Fiona’s the one to call.”

The Legacy Piece

  • At 23, I held an incredibly special collection of books, known as The Holy Bible, for the first time in my hands.
    At 26, I studied it at night school and did a summer course in Christian Drama.
    At 29, I began studying to become a Speech and Drama Teacher and opened my first studio in 2000.
  • Congregations are captive, mostly attentive, and polite audiences, but that’s no reason why they deserve sub-par speakers delivering from the front. I love to inspire people in ministry to enjoy, excite, connect, and engage with their congregations.

So, if you are in leadership at a place of worship and you believe I could make a difference to communication at church leadership level, please reach out.
