Looking for a dynamic speaker to inspire your audience?
A normal girl from Wales who built a £6m business, burned out at the top, and came back with something far more valuable than money
I speak with the kind of raw honesty that makes audiences feel seen, fired up, and ready to move.
Honest. No filters. Just real.
Why Hire Helen
My journey in business started at age 7, on my parents' greengrocers stall in Wales. Shy, competitive, and full of fire, she didn't have a trust fund or a head start, just a belly full of determination and a refusal to quit.
Fast forward to 2013. I built a retail business that would go on to turn over £6 million. Impressive? Absolutely. But behind the numbers was a woman running on empty, burning out quietly while the world called her a success.
Today, I speak with the kind of honesty that makes audiences exhale. She's lived the ambition, the misalignment, the burnout and the rebuild. Whether she's speaking to entrepreneurs, corporate teams, or aspiring leaders, she creates rooms where people feel genuinely understood, and leave ready to take on the world, without losing themselves in the process.
“Because success should never cost you your peace.”
Talk Descriptions
Building Resilience in Business
Success can look shiny from the outside and feel completely hollow from within. I knows this firsthand and I’ll take you back to the moment she realised I'd been running on empty for years. This talk gives audiences the tools to build real, sustainable resilience, not the grit-your-teeth kind, but the kind that comes from finally working in alignment with who you are.
✓ Audiences leave with: a personal resilience framework they can apply immediately.
Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
Deemed successful by everyone around her, I still stood in January 2019 feeling completely lost, proof that achievement alone doesn't silence the inner critic. In this honest, energising talk, I unpack why imposter syndrome hits hardest at the moments we 'should' feel most proud, and how to stop letting it run the show.
✓ Audiences leave with: practical strategies to recognise, name, and move past self-doubt.
Strategy and Making Things Happen
Most people aren't short of ideas, they're short of direction. My approach to strategy is built on one core belief: that when you work in alignment with how you think and operate best, everything else clicks into place. This talk is part inspiration, part practical toolkit and entirely action-focused.
✓ Audiences leave with: a simple, personalised action framework to cut through overwhelm and start moving.
Balancing Ambition and Well-being
What happens when the cup is full, but you keep pouring anyway? I spent six years finding out and it nearly cost me everything. This talk explores the dangerous myth of 'just push through' and offers a refreshingly honest conversation about what it really takes to be ambitious and well, without choosing one over the other.
✓ Audiences leave with: a clear picture of what their own alignment looks and feels like — and how to protect it.
Leadership Through Change
Change has a way of stripping away everything you thought defined you and that can be terrifying or transformative, depending on what you do next. Drawing on my experience of selling my business and rebuilding from scratch, I deliver a talk that helps leaders navigate uncertainty with clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of purpose.
✓ Audiences leave with: tools to lead themselves and their teams through transition without losing momentum.
Marketing and Building a Solid Strategy
Great marketing doesn't start with tactics, it starts with knowing exactly who you are and what you stand for. I bring the hard-won lessons of scaling a multi-million-pound business to this practical, no-nonsense talk that cuts through the noise and gives audiences a strategy they can actually use.
✓ Audiences leave with: a clear framework for building a marketing strategy rooted in their unique strengths.
Ideal for:
✓ Women's business networks and leadership events
✓ Corporate teams and away days
✓ Entrepreneurship and start-up events
✓ University and graduate programmes
✓ Well-being and resilience conferences

Helen worked so well with our small group, created some excellent engagement and really understood what we wanted to achieve. Great listener as well as speaker, would thoroughly recommend
I sat in on Helen's talk last week as part of an organised day on health and wellbeing for RICS. It is hard not to be positively influenced by Helen and the energy she brings to a room.
She somehow manages to turn a room full of people to thinking more positively about themselves and to realise they are far more in control of the outcomes of life than they perhaps initially believed. A welsh gem and a pleasure to be in the company of.
If next weeks Mental Health in the Workplace event is half as good as today’s session in Cardiff, then members are in for a real treat.
Helen Corsi - Cadmore and Chris Flynn from Team Health Performance were superb in the way they shared tools, tips and strategies to deal with mental health while making the session enjoyable and fun.
Thank you so much for your talk yesterday. AMAZING as always.
