The Lesley Hawkins Podcast

Anchored by one question, “What’s one pivotal moment in your life?”, I hosts candid, personal conversations that reveal the turning points that shape who we are.

Lesley is an exceptional keynote speaker who truly connects with her audience. Her message is powerful, relevant, and delivered in a way that is both engaging and easy to understand. From the moment she took the stage, she had the room fully with her—thoughtful, authentic, and impactful.

If you are looking for a speaker who will resonate deeply with your audience and leave them inspired, Lesley is an outstanding choice. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

Meet Lesley

I spent years believing that fitting in was the path to success. Then I discovered that conformity isn't leadership, it's a performance.

With 30 years of leadership experience with some of the top brands in sport, I learned that the people who make real impact are those who have found the courage to show up as themselves. That shift in perspective changed not just how I led, but what became possible for the people around me.

Now I help leaders and organizations experience that same transformation. Through keynotes, workshops, and conversations, I work with people who are ready to stop performing and start owning their voice, because when we show up with authentic conviction, teams come alive, confidence replaces doubt, and business thrives.
