Speaking and MC/hosting

Tamra Mancktelow brings a performer's presence, an operator's brain and a founder's honesty to stages, panels and rooms that need energy and substance.

Tamra is the founder of Elevé Agency, a former Disneyland Paris performer, and a host who understands what it takes to fill a room and run a day that feels seamless for guests and speakers alike.

She speaks on building a business from scratch in public, founder mental health, organic growth over paid ads, and why multifaceted founders do not have to shrink to fit one label. Formats include keynote, workshop, panel and MC/host.

Build

From scratch, in public: building a business out loud

How to share the messy middle without oversharing, and why transparency builds trust when it is backed by systems.

  • Build the back end before you chase visibility
  • Make every post, event and system serve one client journey
  • Grow organically when you cannot or will not pay for reach

Grown on word of mouth: why I chose organic over paid ads

The case for ecosystems over random acts of content, and word of mouth as a deliberate strategy.

  • Why organic fits personal brands who run events
  • How to design content with a job in the journey
  • What to measure when you are not buying reach

Systems before socials: the business of building a business

Lessons from VA and OBM work to agency founder: pricing, sales process, hiring help and saying no.

  • Systems that protect your time before you scale visibility
  • Sales and onboarding that match your marketing promise
  • When to hire help and what to keep close

Mind

If you book a Mind-themed talk, Tamra includes support resources on slides and materials: Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636, Lifeline 13 11 14. Content reflects her own experience, not clinical advice.

Real, raw and well: mental health for founders and creatives

  • Spotting when pressure has tipped into harm
  • Building a business that does not depend on you always being "on"
  • Choosing authenticity over perfection online

Life after the stage: who you are when the performing stops

  • Identity after a performing career
  • What high-pressure environments teach you, good and hard
  • Rebuilding routines that protect your mind

Protect the founder, protect the business

  • Wellbeing as part of the business plan
  • Boundaries that still let you show up for your audience
  • Leading teams when you are the brand

Multifaceted

Multifaceted on purpose: why you don't have to pick one lane

  • Find the thread that ties varied skills together
  • Talk about a non-linear path with confidence
  • Build a personal brand around who you are, not one job title

From Disneyland Paris to founder: what performing taught me about brand

  • Presence, pacing and reading a room
  • Making people feel something at scale
  • Carrying stage craft into content and events

One brand, many lanes

  • When to integrate offers and when to keep lanes separate
  • How hospitality and events shape client experience
  • Cross-linking personal brand and agency without duplicate copy

Host and MC

Tamra hosts summits, founder events and tours where the room needs a confident MC, smooth transitions and a run sheet that holds under pressure.

MC only: Tamra as MC/host on the day, plus a pre-event briefing and run sheet review. Book through this site.

For full Event Day production (planning, supplier coordination, on-the-day coordinator and optional Elevé marketing), see Elevé event marketing.

Tamra is happy to promote confirmed events across her social channels when it fits the calendar.
