Are you looking for a keynote or motivational speech? Or simply a new way to engage with your stakeholders? Rose’s charismatic and original talks harness the power of art to help businesses engage in challenging questions and see the world differently.
Rose’s extensive experience, light-hearted touch and powerful storytelling makes her an engaging and dynamic presenter. She has presented documentaries for the BBC, Sky Arts and Channel 5 and worked as a co-presenter with Giles Coren. She is also a thoughtful interviewer, always putting those in the lime-light at ease, with the ability to tease out the issues that matter most.
Rose’s lectures are built very slowly and carefully over time. As the stories unwind in Rose’s mind, the talks mature and develop. The finished result are meticulously prepared, curated programmes that tell timeless, rich and inspiring stories about the power of human creativity.
To stand in front of the piece of art you are learning about is an extraordinary privilege. To have a knowledgeable and spirited guide with you enhances the experience a thousand fold! Rose has been an art guide for more than twenty years, cutting her teeth in Italy and constantly expanding her repertoire across the globe. Rose’s tours are carefully tailored to suit the interests, energy-levels and age of her audience.
Our business development presentations which have been led by Rose over the years have been the most successful we have hosted in terms of client engagement and feedback. Keep up the great work!
