Lydia has a story that lands in any room: representation, resilience, the long road to the top, and what it actually takes to change an industry from the inside.
Tailored to your audience — students, leadership teams, brand events, equestrian industry, ESG and DEI programmes. Below are the themes she returns to most.
What it actually takes to be the first. How visibility, sponsorship and access shape who gets to the top, and how to widen the door for everyone behind you.
A decade of slow, deliberate progress in a sport that rarely makes room. The mental models, habits and people that keep you in it for the long haul.
From founding Cool Ridings in 2020 to a foundation now changing the face of equestrian sport. How one rider's mission became a movement.
The invisible infrastructure behind every elite rider, what good horsemanship looks like, and why the conversation around welfare matters more than ever.
Carrying a flag for a nation rarely seen in your discipline. The pride, the responsibility, and what it means for the next generation watching at home.
For more intimate audiences — boardrooms, brand dinners, school assemblies — Lydia is at her best in conversation, with a host or directly with the room.
A glimpse of Lydia at recent speaking engagements.
From hosts, organisers and audiences Lydia has spoken to.
Lydia was an incredibly inspiring guest speaker and panelist. She was an incredibly engaging and passionate speaker, and openly shared her experiences of losing her mother and how difficult this has been while navigating her professional career. The audience was thoroughly captivated. I will most definitely be inviting Lydia again to speak.
The lectures that Lydia delivered were dynamic, impactful, and brought a tear to quite a few eyes. In an age where student engagement in higher education is lacking, Lydia has a presentation style that is wonderfully inclusive and refreshingly interactive. The feedback I received on these sessions was always superb.
Tell us a little about the event and we will come back with availability, formats and fees.
