Petra is a highly regarded and sought-after keynote speaker, social impact consultant, facilitator and storyteller.
​
Is your business or organisation currently struggling to empower its staff to step into their power and purpose?
​
How can they feel they can be of value to lead with impact?
​
Petra’s signature style lends itself to larger conferences and events, as well as intimate corporate “fire sides” and workshops.
​
Her work and divergent topic analysis has taken her to speak at the Australian Embassy in Berlin and on stages around the globe including Berlin, Munich, Hannover, Prague, New York, Sydney, Melbourne.
​
Dynamic, Professional & Culturally Relatable
Fusing her unique combination of legal knowledge, media nous, storytelling prowess, language credentials, she presents on topics related to international human rights, social justice causes and brand collaboration, digital transformation, women in the digital economy, new directions in online advocacy, activism, start up and more.
​
She speaks not only from theory but from a place of inner vulnerability and ownership : she can break down complex topics using humor to engage her audiences and remove any barriers, thereby encouraging them to step into their power to and live an impactful life.
Her talent to help others take a vital first step about starting something new and challenging comes so naturally to her, that she is not aware that she is even using it.
