You deserve to be heard.

You, your organisation, the people you work for. You've got something worth saying — but finding the right words, steering a conversation the right way, making your organisation work more inclusively takes time and skill you don't always have to spare. That's where Speaking Bug comes in: speaking, writing and training for organisations that stand for something.

Does this sound familiar?

● You've got a conversation or event coming up, but no one in-house can steer it the way it needs — independently and well.
● Your words don't say what you mean — or they simply don't get read.
● Your organisation wants to work more inclusively, but good intentions don't translate into practice on their own.
● You've got something that matters to say, but it isn't landing the way it should.

That's exactly where I work. Whether you need a conversation hosted, words that stick, or a team that learns to work more inclusively — Speaking Bug helps you get heard.

Engaging story, beautiful word art, and ties in with the stories of other speakers who came from a different angle (biology, economics, energy).

We want to thank Artemis very much for the careful preparation, and very warm and involved approach. She knew who she was dealing with, and gave us the right food for thought. We are already looking forward to working together again.

Artemis has a very good knowledge on the subject and presents it in an attractive, interactive way.
