Property, portfolio, and playing the long gameExploring risk, timing, and long-term thinking - for property conferences, investor groups, business forums
Vibrant, funny, and downright unforgettable, Claire Williamson is a founder, financial strategist, property investor ... and your next event speaker.
Raised in a small farming community on the West Coast of the North Island, I developed an early work ethic grounded in resilience, problem-solving, and responsibility.
Today, I bring that same practicality and optimism into my work as a business owner ... and into every room I speak in, helping people take action, back themselves, and build momentum in business, leadership, and wealth.
I'm known for my ability to connect with audiences, simplify complex ideas, and inspire confident decision-making.
A natural communicator, I'm a sought-after MC, interviewer, event host, and podcast host. I've fronted awards ceremonies, business seminars, and a monthly Inspire series for Waikato business owners. For you, that could look like ...
Hosting awards ceremonies or gala dinners with energy and charm
Charity auctions or long lunches, supporting great causes
Facilitating or speaking on business panels
Leading workshops or talks that help people grow their skills and confidence
Claire Williamson is a fantastic MC. She brings great energy on stage, engages the room effortlessly, adapts in the moment, and keeps everything flowing seamlessly.
She’s always well prepared and takes the time to understand both the content and the speakers. As a facilitator, she listens well, asks thoughtful questions in the moment, and draws out really valuable insights. Her podcasting experience definitely comes through.
She’s also great to work with behind the scenes. Responsive, proactive, and genuinely cares about the event.
I always enjoy working with Claire and would happily recommend her.

Your questions, answered
Do you tailor your talk to our event?
Always. Every event is different, and I'll work with you to tailor each session to create impact where it matters most.
How long are your talks?
Anywhere from a 30-minute keynote to a half or full-day workshop!
Can you MC as well as speak?
Heck yeah! I MC conferences, awards nights and events, and I host panels. If you need someone to hold the whole day together and keep the energy up, I'm there.
Where are you based, and will you travel?
I'm based in the Waikato and travel throughout New Zealand. Travel and accommodation costs are additional for events outside the region.
What do you charge?
It depends on the format, length and travel involved, but my rates start at $1,000. Get in touch with your event details and we can chat about that.
What if we're not sure what we need yet?
Get in touch anyway. I'm happy to talk it through and tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit, or point you to someone who is.
Watching Claire speak is inspiring. Her delivery is seamless, her knowledge is incredibly strong, and she has a rare ability to bring a room together without hesitation or falter. She speaks with confidence and authenticity, and it’s clear why so many people look up to her.
