Emma Boardman

From performer to philosopher - a talk that inspires students to own the full range of who they are.

Emma Boardman is a global speaker, creative educator, and founder of The Audacious Way - a philosophy that helps young minds live boldly, think independently, and lead with heart.

With a background spanning elite gymnastics, TV presenting, and entrepreneurship, Emma shares powerful lessons from a life lived fully - and sometimes fearfully - outside the comfort zone.

Her talks for schools are packed with energy, honesty, and practical tools for navigating self-belief, resilience, and making brave choices in a noisy world.

Whether inspiring young leaders to step up, helping students find their voice, or reminding them it’s OK to not have it all figured out yet, Emma’s message lands in the heart:

Be yourself, bravely.
Make your own mind up.
And take life one audacious step at a time.

Testimonials from Teachers

“Our students were completely captivated. Boardman’s story is powerful, but it’s the way she tells it, with humour, humility, and heart, that makes it unforgettable. Days later, students were still referencing their own ‘audacious dials.’”

– Neelakshi Doley, MBA Employer Engagement Manager, Cranfield University

“Watching the Boardman Show changed how I see so much in my life. She has this uncanny ability to flip ideas on their head, boost your self-belief, and supercharge your creativity, all while effortlessly entertaining you. I don’t know how she does it… but it works.”

– Chloe Morris, Creative Director, Pink Flamingo Academy

“Boardman is one of my favourite speakers. She holds a room in the palm of her hand, balancing a strong narrative with her signature cheeky wit. She lights up every space she enters and makes everyone feel welcome, with plenty of chuckles along the way.

She is inspiring and motivating to all.”

– Emma Colbeck, Founder, Nuata Studio
