Most compliance trainings fail:
- People don’t want to take them.
- When they reluctantly do, they don’t absorb the information.
- Three months later, they don’t even remember it.
This is why: it’s boring, uninspiring and forgettable. You end up wasting time, effort and resources, while the risks you tried to prevent are still present.
If your team doesn’t understand what personal data is, they won’t recognise when GDPR applies. And if your privacy team can’t get people to engage with DPIAs, both the team and the assessments are likely to be ignored – leaving your business exposed to breaches and complaints.
It's time to fix that. Let's make compliance training stick.

Trusted by industry leaders
Event organisers, DPOs and industry leaders trust me to make complex topics clear, relatable and engaging. Here’s what they say:
I’m deeply impressed – your talk at NPA was absolutely brilliant! We were worried when a technical glitch left you without speaker notes, but you went on to deliver a world-class presentation. Truly outstanding!
Five months later, I still clearly remember your inspiring keynote «Death by risk assessments»! What stood out to me was your blend of humour and key insights - it wasn't mere entertainment. Actually, I’ve since applied several of your recommendations actively into our work.
It was a pleasure to have Rie present to our team last year in London on the intricacies of simplifying privacy processes, including assessments. What stood out was her ability to distil complex privacy concepts into understandable elements, making the daunting seem manageable.

What people said
It’s rare to encounter privacy enthusiasts who transform “dry” legal texts into engaging lectures that captivate well beyond the immediate audience. Rie makes GDPR both entertaining and enlightening. Her profound understanding of privacy provided our listeners with inspiration and valuable insights we will carry forward, but also equipped us with valuable strategies for navigating the information overload. We highly recommend inviting Rie to share her insights and expertise for a truly inspiring experience.
Rie recently presented to the Conference Board ‘Privacy Leaders Council’ on the topic “No More Boring Brussel Sprouts”—an enlivening talk about the need for privacy compliance professionals to hone their messaging: less of privacy says ‘no’ and more about aligning the communication style to the audience, making it easier for the business to buy in to privacy, aiding program delivery. Rie’s energetic, informed, and pragmatic style facilitated a great debate.
Rie is a highly motivational and inspirational speaker. She combines in-depth knowledge and vast experience in privacy issues with an ability to entertain and enlighten the audience. She gave one of the best talks on the topic of risk assessment I’ve ever heard.
Meeting Rie at the annual KiNS conference in Norway in 2023 was of great inspiration to me! She is a sparkling performer on stage and she rocks the GDPR field with her inside knowledge, challenging the «old news» around her with new input.
Rie kicked off our annual event of privacy officers, teachers, vendors, purveyors, organisations and a broad variety of involved stakeholders for a two-day workshop. She managed beautifully to inspire, make us laugh, feel disturbed and enthusiastic about a topic that generally comes across as rather hard to sell in.
