Molly Scanlan: event speaker
Speak friend and enter
Got an event? I’ve got talks
Book me to speak at your online or in-person event.*
I promise:
- Useful knowledge for your audience
- Practical action they can take to improve their business
- No fluff, filler or faff
- Laughs
*Ideally in-person: then I get to leave the house. Leaving London for a bit? Even better. Leaving the UK? Sign me up, then I can call myself ‘an international speaker’ before my friend who’s set that as a goal.
What I can talk about
Best practice and tips for business websites
My career story as an ex-teacher and single parent freelancer
Why me?
I’ve got an A Level in Theatre Studies, so I can stage the talk as if it were a production of The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade, if that’s what your attendees are after.
I will not be reading paragraphs of text off my slides.

The reviews are in

“Molly’s talk combined her trademark dry wit with her deep knowledge on all things websites and carbon.
Molly has a way with words and used vivid, entertaining stories to get across some pretty scary stuff about how much crud we’re chuntering out into the atmosphere every time we log on.
I’d highly recommend Molly as a speaker, she’s cool as a cucumber and will make the audience go from laughing to “oh fuck” in the blink of an eye.”

“ I feel like I really learnt something!!
I loved Molly’s talk. It never even occurred to me that a website could be effecting the environment until she opened my eyes.
To learn the ways that they can was so interesting, but more importantly to be given steps to take to make a difference was priceless.
Her delivery was engaging and entertaining, and I look forward to hearing more talks from Molly in the future.”
