Book IWD Speaker: Danielle Dobson

Award-winning speaker equipping ERGs, HR and leaders to move beyond one-day IWD messaging and recode workplace systems for real inclusion.

Danielle Dobson knows what it takes to build workplaces where inclusion isn’t a theme for one day in March - it’s a system, a practice, and a leadership advantage.

She’s an award-winning speaker, author of Breaking the Gender Code, and founder of Code Conversations®. Through her signature framework - The Recode Advantage™ - Danielle equips people with the tools to decode the invisible load and recode the systems holding them back.

Her approach blends sharp insights from her white paper, Recode the Culture: A Leadership Blueprint for Inclusion that Delivers, insights from working with global brands and from over 100 interviews with high-performing leaders across industries and cultures.

With a 25+ years career spanning five countries, from senior finance roles in London and the USA to steel mills in central Italy, Danielle brings first-hand experience of what drives culture change from the inside out.

She’s delivered keynotes and leadership activations for organisations like BAE Systems, Sydney Water, Seiko, and CHEP Brambles, with media features in AFR, Forbes Australia, CEO Magazine, Smart Company, and ABC Radio.

Whether you’re planning your first IWD event or reshaping an entire leadership offsite, Danielle brings grounded strategy, warm delivery, and tools people actually use.
