Meet Kate, spreading the word around domestic abuse every day…

Breaking the Silence: Kate Rowland’s Fight Against Domestic Abuse

Kate Rowland is one of my speakers who joined the Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service (SDASS) as Training Manager in 2021. She’s a proud member of Scott Media Speakers.

She came to her latest role with a decade of experience safeguarding families in Wiltshire and a background in early years’ training.

She wants to break the silence on this difficult topic. Even now, it remains taboo in many places. She has a unique view on fighting domestic abuse.

It’s been 50 years since the Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service (SDASS) began helping survivors get back control over their lives. The need for awareness and action is as crucial as ever.

Kate believes that raising awareness is key. It will help reach more victims and prevent abuse before it starts. She can tailor presentations to the different audiences — from small community groups to large corporations.

Kate has delivered services ranging from brief talks to full training sessions. She has helped big organisations like Network Rail, Zurich, and Nationwide with policy consultations. She has also given talks at important events. These include International Women’s Day, the NHS and the military.

She talks about important issues. She explains how to spot domestic abuse and how communities, companies and organisations can help stop it. She explains how it affects people at work and what bosses should do to help. She also discusses how it hurts kids and teens. It can cause mental health problems and trauma into adulthood. She shares stories from abuse survivors.

Kate’s expertise and dedication contribute to SDASS’s purpose to empower domestic abuse survivors and raise awareness to protect and keep victims safe. If you’re looking for an inspiring speaker to address this critical issue, Kate Rowland could just be the perfect choice for your event or organisation.

Mastering the Art of Business Networking With Stefan Thomas

If you find networking challenging or if the thought of making meaningful business connections seems daunting, Stefan Thomas understands.

Nearly 20 years ago, he started his networking journey feeling apprehensive and intimidated by everyone else in the room. Yet today he’s become one of the UK’s leading experts and professional speakers on the subject.

I first came across him at a business event in Oxford where he was the keynote speaker. His talent for charming the room with humour and useful advice was clear right away. I’ve worked in media and communications for years. Stefan’s genuine approach impressed me. He’s able to make complex networking concepts accessible to everyone.

He always ensures his audience leaves with practical takeaways they can use right away.

Stefan also runs the Connect network. It is a unique organization for SMEs, small business owners, and entrepreneurs which is national and is invitation-only. Focused on networking and mentoring, it’s a testament to his belief in the power of connections and his desire to help others succeed.

On a personal note, Stefan’s passion for punk and rock music (he’s been to over 500 gigs!) adds an interesting dimension to his character. It’s this mix of professional expertise and personal flair that makes Stefan such a compelling speaker and mentor. Find out more about him here:
