In recognition of her contribution to sport and hockey, Cullen was appointed an MBE in the 2012 New Year Honours.
After retiring from competitive sport, as well as turning her hand to media broadcasting and motivational speaking, Cullen formed her own consultancy. At speaking events, Cullen is a known conservationist supporting her Kenyan roots. Providing motivational advice to corporates, youth groups and charitable organisations, Cullen is now a popular choice as an Olympic speaker. Frequently focused on education, Cullen helps advise and motivate children and young adults to get into sports and exceed their goals.

Based on the transferable skills she has developed over the years, she offers advice on business, life skills, environmental issues and overcoming adversity, and more.
