What’s a Grown Up Anyway?

In many workplaces, we subtly learn to present polished versions of ourselves - leaving parts of our authentic selves at the door. But what if our greatest professional asset isn’t just our expertise, but our full, human selves?

Drawing on insights from her four-year exploration into what it really means to be a grown-up, and her resulting book What’s a Grown-Up Anyway? Sammy shares reflections, stories, and practical learnings about embracing our messy, brilliant humanity at work.

In this light, participative session, she’ll invite you to question long-held assumptions about what it means to “show up” professionally, explore personal development beyond expertise, and reconnect with the value you bring simply by being you. You’ll leave energised by meaningful questions to carry forward, and perhaps even a renewed sense of your own power and presence.
