Smash Your Own Ceiling and Elevate
Barbara Nixon is keynote speaker and former PSA Regional President who works with leadership teams, boards, and conference audiences across the UK. Her talks don’t just inform, they shift something. No slides. Just warmth, humour, and stories that land, with a rare ability to make complex ideas feel immediately practical. Leaders leave with clarity they couldn’t quite articulate before they walked in, and usually a few laughs along the way.
Choose from the following topics:
Smash Your OWN Ceiling: How to stop blocking your own success, silence the imposter, and reclaim your seat at the table – Warm, funny, and deeply relatable. this one tends to get people laughing and then quietly emotional in the same breath. Practical tools wrapped in stories that land. Audiences leave feeling seen, and ready to do something about it.
The Next Iteration of You: Why capable leaders get in their own way and how to close the gap between where you are and who you need to be.
Story-led, disarmingly honest, and practically useful from the first minute. Built for leadership conferences, away days, and senior leadership teams navigating growth.
Get out of the weeds: How senior leaders reclaim their headspace, stop firefighting, and start actually leading, Designed for MDs, Directors, and leadership teams who are brilliant at what they do, but drowning in the doing of it. No theory, no jargon, no slides. Just honest insight and practical tweaks that make an immediate difference.
All topics can either be a 20, 60 or 90 minute key note or full day interactive workshop, and all will leave your teams / audience with a notebook full of lightbulb moments, practical take-aways and motivated to make the changes that will make all the difference.
