For someone who used to fear public speaking, I've now found myself frequently asked to speak at conferences and panels. What I really love though is teaching, whether that's through workshops or trainings. Below is a selection of speaking engagements I've done, grouped by topic.
To contact me about a potential speaking engagement or training/workshop, please email me at millie@fittingly.net.
