Bio of conferences and available topics
Hilary Pickles
Owner & Head Coach,
Real Girl Athletics
Hello! After 20 years as a people leader in the corporate world, I created the coaching brand Real Girl Athletics. I also co-host the Just Before We Go podcast which celebrates the power of women over 40. My mission is to help women runners and athletes thrive at midlife and beyond. As a coach, motivation is a must. Life has afforded me momentous experiences through world travel, athletics, acting, working in philanthropy and consistent magical animal encounters. But it didn’t all come easy. I uniquely combine life lessons and coaching with vulnerability, encouragement & plenty of humor.
Book me for your inspirational keynote, warm-up speech, closing ceremony or for the start and finish line of your race!
