Tawnya Bahr

Tawnya Bahr is one of Australia's most respected food experts, host of the acclaimed podcast Straight to the Source, and a keynote speaker who leaves thought leaders genuinely energised to act.

With a career spanning IT, food distribution, professional chef training, and helming one of the country's most sought-after food consultancies, she knows what it takes to build something meaningful without a roadmap.

Her keynote is a masterclass in courageous leadership: how to overcome obstacles, lead with curiosity, and invest in the relationships that equip you to meet each challenge with momentum.

This is not a talk about food. It is a talk about how the best decisions get made and who gets to make them. Drawing on her own story of entrepreneurship, cancer diagnosis, and cultivating a network that has become her greatest professional asset, Tawnya gives audiences three pillars and one question that will follow them home and change how they lead: What is your source of truth?

As an MC, Tawnya's style is boldly progressive and versatile, allowing fluid movement across sectors, from intimate live performances and spoken word to corporate stages, cultural events, and mainstream platforms.
