My story is not for the faint hearted.
But it is about the pivotal lessons I’ve learnt from having an eye removed to cancer – and how they can help you personally or professionally. It’s about stripping back to what really matters.

Chances are, you’ve been touched by cancer. Or trauma of similar severity.

As a journalist, I wrote the headlines for years. Then, I became them – appearing in newspapers, on radio shows and podcasts.
Whether it’s about personal growth or professional leadership, I am now communicating my story to help others who are lacking clarity see more clearly.
My Story:
“Unless Michelle Obama offers to compere any of my next events, you are my go-to woman!”
“Tessa made the most wonderful guest on the ‘How Long Have You Got?’ podcast. She told her extraordinary story in a way that was both erudite and emotional, practical and personable. She is a generous and fluent storyteller – giving the listener insight into her journey, as well as hope and take homes. The episode with Tessa is one I often think about and often share with others.”
“Tessa brings both heart and depth to the stage. Warm, engaging and humble, she holds the room with the quiet power of her presence and the strength of her story.”
“As Norge Mining’s podcast host, Tessa developed an engaging on-air persona, creating a connection with both the guest and the audience. Tessa possesses strong communication skills, and an ability to create compelling narratives and relevant content that demonstrates a deep understanding of subject matters, which ultimately resonates well with listeners.”
