Meet Monique Bradley

Ko Monique Bradley tōku ingoa - He kaikorero ahau.
I’m Monique Bradley - I’m a storyteller.

I’ve been training for the stage since I was eight years old, achieving qualifications with both NZ Speech Board and Trinity College of London. What began in public speaking and acting evolved into a degree in Theatre and Film from Victoria University, a career in film and television, and more than 30 years of professional speaking, MCing and performance.

But I didn’t just perform — I studied the discipline.

In 2025 I became the first person in the world to complete a Master of Creative Practice (First Class Honours) focused specifically on Keynote Speaking, formalising keynote delivery as a distinct creative and strategic craft.

Today, I am a global keynote speaker and public speaking coach, working with leaders, entrepreneurs, businesses and young people to build confidence, clarity and authority through storytelling.

Professional Experience and Training

I’ve trained people from all walks of life, from corporate leaders and teams to children finding their voice, and most recently served as Chief Visionary Officer and coach for TEDx Wynyard Quarter, guiding speakers to deliver ideas worth spreading with intellectual rigour and stage precision.

Public speaking is communication.
Keynote speaking is transformation.

And I teach the difference.

Whether I’m on stage delivering a keynote, coaching one-on-one, or leading workshops, my goal is simple: to help people find their voice, share their stories with authenticity and confidence...............because stories matter.
