Veronique Bourbeau/ Run4Humanity

Fear is the subject of Vero's talk, Fearless, and her own story carries it. She describes a timid, isolated kid who was set free from fear by a close call with death, and went on to take on challenges she once thought impossible. Running is part of that story, but the message is for anyone with a goal: leaders, teams, the nervous and the bold. Veronique Bourbeau spent more than 15 years as a journalist and holds an MBA. Her book, Fearless, came out in 2022 and tells how she went from the treadmill to running the African continent. For companies, the keynote can be paired with a workshop lasting half a day up to three days, covering values, change or management by results. She'll need a microphone and presentation setup, and would love a table to sell books. Every dollar from her speaking goes to Run4Humanity. Brisbane-based, she travels nationwide.
