Professional Keynote
Speaker
Dr Tanya Finnie is a high-impact keynote speaker, emcee, and storyteller known for her thought-provoking talks on culture, identity, and inclusion. Whether it’s race, gender, age, ability, or broader organisational culture, Tanya brings warmth, clarity, and challenge to the stage.
From TEDx to town halls, her speaking engagements span the globe — including the USA, Germany, Kenya, South Africa, Singapore, and beyond. Her formats include:
- Keynotes
- Lunch & Learn sessions
- Panel moderation and facilitation
- Customised presentations and emceeing
Tanya’s experience includes working with local councils, State, professional associations, mining, oil and gas, corporate boards, not for profits and national conferences. As a cultural strategist, she doesn’t just speak — she connects, questions, and leaves audiences thinking long after the applause ends.
She also trains others to do the same — coaching emerging speakers and panellists (like those at the AOG Diversity & Inclusion Breakfast) on how to tell their stories with impact, handle microphones, and avoid tokenism when addressing complex topics like intersectionality.
