“If you’re looking for a geek girl who can talk the talk AND engage an audience (techy or otherwise) you’d be hard pressed to go passed Helen. She can talk, she can debate, she can argue about any subject (so far) at any time with a great sense of humour that’s great fun to watch. Easy to work with, bags of fun, Helen adds personality plus to any speaking engagement.”

 “The first time I heard Helen talk she had a fantasticenergy, and took me off my note-taking, and straight into what she was saying about mind-mapping and exploring ideas. Her demo was well paced and impressive.  I still remember the tool and her performance vividly, 2 years later.”
