Signature Topics

  • Innovate or Stagnate: How to Build a Culture That’s Curious, Courageous and Change-Ready

    Legacy thinking is a bigger risk than new ideas. In this keynote, Becki reveals the hidden blockers to innovation inside successful companies, and how to overcome them. With practical tools and compelling stories, she shows how to embed innovation into everyday leadership, making adaptability your organisation’s competitive edge.

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: The Overlooked Advantage That Could Transform Your Business

    Some of the most powerful levers for performance aren’t new innovations—they’re missed opportunities hiding in plain sight. Becki explores what economists call “the trillion-dollar blind spot” holding companies back, and how rethinking leadership, talent, and value can unlock a powerful competitive edge.

    This isn’t about box-ticking. It’s about tapping into proven, underutilised assets that make business sense and human sense.

  • Leading Through Uncertainty: Strategy, Sanity, and the Space to Breathe

    When the path is unclear, exceptional leaders don’t wait for certainty, they create clarity. In this session, Becki shares practical frameworks for leading through ambiguity, making decisions with imperfect information, and building teams that thrive in flux. It’s real-world advice for real-world pressure.

  • Beyond Empowerment: Redesigning Leadership for Agency, Not Permission

    “Empowerment” sounds inspiring, but it can reinforce power imbalances. In this provocative talk, Becki challenges conventional leadership language and offers a new model: distributing authority and agency by design. It’s not about giving power away. It’s about building systems where everyone is equipped to lead.

  • High-Performing Teams (That Actually Deliver): Culture, Cadence, and the Habits That Scale

    Most teams aim for performance. Few build the conditions to sustain it. In this session, Becki shares what it really takes to lead teams that are energised, aligned, and delivering, without burnout. It’s part mindset, part mechanics, and all human.

  • The Courageous Leader: Finding the Balance Between Empathy and Accountability

    Courage isn’t loud, it’s consistent. Becki explores the modern leader’s biggest challenge: holding empathy and accountability in equal tension. Through vivid examples and personal insight, she unpacks what it means to lead with humanity, clarity, and strength, especially when the stakes are high.

  • "Becki's keynote at Reunion 2024 delivered exactly what our accounting professionals needed - practical strategies for fostering innovation within their firms. Her message on cultivating creativity and promoting curiosity resonated strongly with our attendees, with numerous participants highlighting the actionable takeaways from her presentation."

    — Viv Brownrigg, Co-founder and Non-executive Director, The Gap

  • "We were privileged to have Becki speak at our 2025 International Women's Day event. Becki truly embodies what 'Accelerate Action' means, providing our attendees with practical strategies they could implement immediately. Becki's presentation was both engaging and results-focused, delivering exactly what our event needed."

    — Jackie Edhouse, Director, Baker Tilly Staples Rodway

  • “Becki brought clarity, conviction, and commercial acumen to our wellbeing panel at the CA ANZ Canterbury Conference. Drawing on her experience leading one of New Zealand’s Best Places to Work, she reframed wellbeing not as a soft benefit, but as performance infrastructure, essential to innovation, retention, and long-term success. A compelling and courageous voice on the future of leadership.”

    – Scott Wagenvoord, Regional Manager, CA ANZ Canterbury
