Mental sundhed på arbejdspladsen

Why organisations work with Frederika Roberts An applied positive psychology MSc and doctoral research base, rather than the wellness-industry credentialling that dominates this space. Author or co-author of five published works on character education and whole-school wellbeing, including titles with Jessica Kingsley Publishers and Sage. European Representative for IPPAed, giving access to current global research on positive education before it filters into mainstream practice. Working content for both education sectors and workplaces, covering character strengths, psychological safety, and Appreciative Inquiry as a change method. Operates in English, Italian, French, and German, which matters for European multi-site organisations and international school groups. Biography highlights MSc in Applied Positive Psychology; doctoral researcher in Education focused on whole-school wellbeing. European Representative for IPPAed, the International Positive Psychology Association’s Positive Education division. Founder of Educate to Flourish CIC, a social enterprise embedding wellbeing into school communities. Co-author, “Character Toolkit for Teachers” (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2018) and “Character Toolkit Strength Cards” (2020). Co-editor, “The Big Book of Whole School Wellbeing” (2021); author, “For Flourishing’s Sake” (2020) and “Recipe for Happiness” (2013). Member of the Professional Speaking Association and the Global Speakers Federation; iPPL Expert Member. Biography Wellbeing has become one of the most over-claimed and under-delivered categories in organisational life. Initiatives proliferate; engagement and mental health indicators rarely move with them. The gap is methodological. Most wellbeing work is built on motivational content rather than on the published research that the field of positive psychology has produced over the last two decades. Roberts works inside that research base. She holds an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and is completing doctoral research on whole-school wellbeing using Appreciative Inquiry, a change methodology that focuses organisational attention on what is already working and how to build from it. As European Representative for IPPAed, the International Positive Psychology Association’s Positive Education division, she connects practitioners with current academic findings before they reach the trade press. Her published output gives organisations a clear sense of how she translates evidence into practice. “Character Toolkit for Teachers” (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2018) and the “Character Toolkit Strength Cards” (2020) provide working tools rather than abstract frameworks. “The Big Book of Whole School Wellbeing” (2021), which she co-edited, sits across the major contributors in the field. “For Flourishing’s Sake” sets out how policy and practice can be redesigned to put flourishing at the centre. She founded Educate to Flourish CIC to take this work into schools as a social enterprise, and extends the same practice into workplaces, drawing on character strengths, psychological safety, and strengths-based approaches. The work is unusual in the wellbeing market for being explicitly research-grounded and equally credible in front of educators, HR leaders, and policy audiences. Key speaking topics Positive psychology in organisational and educational settings Whole-school and whole-organisation wellbeing Character education and character strengths Appreciative Inquiry as a change method Psychological safety and strengths-based culture Mental health and flourishing at work Ideal for HR and people leaders responsible for wellbeing strategy beyond surface-level programmes School leaders, MAT executives, and university leadership teams Conference audiences in education, public sector, and not-for-profit Boards or executives in family-owned and values-led organisations rethinking culture Audience outcomes A working understanding of what positive psychology research has actually shown about wellbeing and performance. Specific tools from character strengths, Appreciative Inquiry, and strengths-based practice that can be applied immediately. A sharper distinction between wellbeing programmes that produce change and those that do not. Language and a model for connecting individual flourishing to organisational outcomes.

Why organisations work with Gemma Oaten A credible front-of-house voice on eating disorders specifically, an area most wellbeing programmes underserve because it is hard to discuss without either trivialising or distressing audiences. Operational charity leadership at SEED, which means her content reflects what families, sufferers, and clinicians actually report, not generic resilience messaging. Broadcast craft from BBC Radio and BBC Morning Live work, useful when a wellbeing event also needs an experienced host or interviewer in the room. A TEDx talk and named corporate clients including Samsung, Towergate Insurance, and Health Assured, which gives HR and wellbeing leads a defensible reference list. Biography highlights CEO of SEED Eating Disorder Support Services. Played Rachel Breckle in Emmerdale, 2011 to 2015. TEDx speaker on eating disorders and recovery. Hosted the British Safety Council International Safety Awards Gala Dinner, 2024. BBC Radio presenter across Humberside, Lincolnshire, York, and Leeds; BBC Morning Live contributor. Drama Studio London graduate. Biography Eating disorders are the mental illness most likely to kill the person who has one, and they remain one of the hardest topics for an HR team to handle in front of staff. Gemma Oaten developed anorexia at ten and lived with it, and with bulimia, for thirteen years. SEED, the charity her parents founded to support other families through it, is now the organisation she runs. That dual position, lived experience and charity leadership, is what makes her useful to corporate audiences. She is not describing recovery as a metaphor for resilience. She is describing what eating disorders look like in a workforce, what triggers them, what helps, and what managers tend to get wrong when an employee is visibly struggling. Her broadcast work runs alongside the charity. She has presented across BBC Radio Humberside, Lincolnshire, York, and Leeds, contributed to BBC Morning Live, and hosted the British Safety Council International Safety Awards Gala Dinner in 2024. Her acting credits include four years as Rachel Breckle in Emmerdale, with Best Newcomer nominations at the British Soap Awards and TV Quick Awards. For wellbeing leads commissioning a keynote that staff will actually remember, the value is the specificity. She speaks from inside a charity that takes the calls, and from inside a recovery she nearly did not survive. That is a different proposition from a clinician explaining the science or a coach selling a framework. Key speaking topics Eating disorders awareness and recovery Mental health in the workplace Employee wellbeing Resilience after long-term illness Bullying, body image, and self-worth Lived experience of anorexia and bulimia Hosting and moderation for wellbeing events Ideal for CHROs, wellbeing leads, and HR directors building substantive mental health programmes Health, safety, and wellbeing conferences, particularly in regulated sectors Schools, universities, and NHS audiences working on body image and eating disorders Internal events that need a credible host as well as a keynote voice Audience outcomes A clearer picture of what eating disorders look like in a working population, beyond the stereotypes Practical language managers can use when an employee shows signs of being unwell A frank account of long-term recovery from someone who runs the support charity Renewed permission inside the room to talk about mental health without flinching

Why organisations work with George King A first-hand account of decision-making at lethal stakes, not borrowed from sport or special forces analogy. King climbed The Shard at 19 without ropes; the consequence of error was death, not a missed target. A specific reframe of ADHD that audiences with neurodivergent colleagues or family members find usable. The argument is that hyperfocus and risk tolerance are trainable assets, not deficits the workplace must tolerate. Public credibility through the Channel 4 documentary “The Boy Who Climbed The Shard” and presenting work for the channel’s extreme sports output, which gives the booking immediate recognition with general audiences. A profile that travels well to younger and external-facing audiences: 1.6 million YouTube views on the documentary, an active public following, and a story that lands in the room before he speaks. Biography highlights First person to free-solo climb The Shard, July 2019, age 19. Subject of the 2020 Channel 4 documentary “The Boy Who Climbed The Shard”. Channel 4 presenter on extreme sports specials. Free-solo ascents of Lotte Tower, Seoul, and Stratosphere Tower, with BASE-jump descents. Featured in Time magazine, the Architects’ Journal, and Times Live. Speaks publicly about ADHD and fear management on platforms including the Minter Dial podcast. Biography In July 2019 a 19 year old climbed The Shard with no ropes, no safety equipment, and no permission. The ascent took 45 minutes. The legal aftermath took longer, ending in a custodial sentence at HMP Pentonville. George King was the climber, and the story is the foundation of every keynote he gives. What makes the talk useful to corporate audiences is not the climb itself but the preparation behind it. King describes fear as a system that can be trained, with named techniques he applies before each ascent: visualisation, breath control, and the specific mental routines that hold composure when the consequence of a mistake is fatal. The frame is recognisable to anyone who has briefed a board on a high-stakes decision, but the stakes are concrete rather than figurative. He also speaks openly about ADHD, which he treats as the cognitive asset that makes the climbs possible. His position is direct: hyperfocus, risk tolerance and pattern attention are not deficits requiring medication, they are trainable capabilities that produce performance when properly channelled. That argument has earned him a following among neurodivergent audiences and the parents and managers around them. King has presented two extreme sports specials for Channel 4 and was the subject of the channel’s 2020 documentary “The Boy Who Climbed The Shard”, which has passed 1.6 million views on YouTube. His climbs since The Shard include Lotte Tower in Seoul and the Stratosphere Tower, both with BASE-jump descents, and both covered in international press. Key speaking topics Fear management under high-consequence conditions ADHD and neurodiversity as performance Mental preparation and visualisation Risk assessment in extreme environments Resilience after public failure Peak performance Ideal for Internal employee events on neurodiversity and inclusion, particularly where the audience includes line managers of neurodivergent staff Sales kick-offs and motivational set-pieces where the brief is composure under pressure Youth-facing, education and apprentice audiences where reach and recognition matter as much as content Wellbeing and mental performance programmes looking for a non-clinical voice Audience outcomes A named set of techniques for managing fear before a high-stakes event, drawn directly from the climber’s own pre-ascent routine A reframe of ADHD that audiences can take back to neurodivergent colleagues, children or themselves A first-hand account of decision-making where the cost of error is final, useful as a reference point for less extreme corporate risk conversations A memorable headline story that gives the wider event a centrepiece audiences will retell

Why organisations work with Georgia Harrison A first-hand voice on intimate image abuse with a direct line to legislative outcome. Her decision to waive anonymity during the Stephen Bear prosecution and her work with government produced amendments inside the Online Safety Act 2023, which is rare evidence of citizen campaigning translating into statute. Credibility with the people most affected. Harrison reaches young employees, customers, students and frontline staff in a register a senior policy speaker cannot match, which matters for internal wellbeing programmes, customer-facing safeguarding training and brand purpose work. Operational experience of consent and online safety campaigning. Named partnerships with Thames Valley Police (“Consent Conversations”) and Superdrug (“You before Yes”) give her a track record of building education programmes for adult and young-adult audiences. A working broadcaster and author on the subject. Her ITV documentaries Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear and Porn, Power, Profit, and her 2024 memoir Taking Back My Power, give the talk a body of public-facing work behind it rather than a single anecdote. A clear, current public profile. MBE recipient, BBC 100 Women 2023, Glamour Women of the Year 2023, which gives the booking external visibility and helps drive internal turnout. Biography highlights MBE awarded in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours for services to the prevention of violence against women and girls and for campaigning on online privacy and cyber crime. First Love Island contestant to receive an MBE. Campaigning contributed to amendments to the Online Safety Act 2023 on intimate image abuse. Listed on BBC 100 Women 2023; Glamour Women of the Year 2023 (Activist Award). Author of Taking Back My Power (Dialogue / Hachette, 2024). Fronted ITV documentaries Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear (2023) and Georgia Harrison: Porn, Power, Profit (2025). Named campaigns with Thames Valley Police (“Consent Conversations”) and Superdrug (“You before Yes”); has interviewed Tony Blair, Sir Keir Starmer, Lord Hague and Sadiq Khan in policy interview work. Biography In December 2022 Stephen Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison for voyeurism and for disclosing private sexual images. The complainant in that case had waived her anonymity to speak publicly. That decision turned a personal harm into the most-covered intimate image abuse prosecution in UK media and forced the issue out of the safeguarding column and into the policy column. The campaigning that followed contributed to amendments inside the Online Safety Act 2023, including the move away from requiring prosecutors to prove an intent to cause distress. That is a substantive legislative outcome traceable to one person’s public testimony and to sustained work with government, the Crown Prosecution Service stakeholders and victim groups. Georgia Harrison MBE has since built the public-facing apparatus around that work. Two ITV documentaries, Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear and Porn, Power, Profit, examined the legal and commercial mechanics of image-based abuse and the deepfake economy. Her 2024 memoir Taking Back My Power, published by Hachette’s Dialogue imprint, sets out the case story and the campaigning arc. Named partnerships with Thames Valley Police on consent education and with Superdrug on the “You before Yes” campaign extend the work into school and high-street audiences. For corporate buyers, the value is specific. Boards, HR teams and customer-facing brands are being asked to take positions on online safety, deepfakes and consent that they were not asked to take five years ago. Harrison brings a lived voice on those issues that policy expertise alone cannot supply, alongside the public profile of an MBE, a BBC 100 Women listing and a Glamour Women of the Year award. Key speaking topics Image-based sexual abuse and online safety Consent education and the workplace social contract Resilience after public trauma Reform of the Online Safety Act Deepfakes and the harms economy Personal advocacy and citizen campaigning Mental health and self-worth in the digital age Ideal for HR, DEI and wellbeing leads building internal programmes on online safety, consent and respect at work Customer-facing brands with young adult audiences (retail, telco, social platforms, education providers) Schools, universities and police forces commissioning consent and digital safety education Internal women’s networks, ERG events and International Women’s Day platforms Audience outcomes A clear account of how UK law on intimate image abuse changed and what is still unresolved A working vocabulary for talking about consent, image-based abuse and deepfakes inside an organisation A frank view of what online harm looks like from the receiving end, in language that lands with non-specialist audiences A direct example of how citizen advocacy turns into legislative change Renewed permission to take online safety seriously as a culture and wellbeing issue, not only a compliance one

Why organisations work with Georgia-Mae Fenton She has won the same individual event at consecutive Commonwealth Games, four years apart, the first gymnast in the discipline to do so. That is direct experience of defending a peak, which is harder than reaching one. Her team’s World Championship silver in Liverpool in 2022 was the best result by a British women’s artistic gymnastics team in the history of the World Championships. She can speak credibly to what changes inside a high-performing group at the moment the standard moves. She made her Olympic debut at Paris 2024 in her mid-twenties after several years of being the established figure in the squad. The arc is later than most assume, and that is the substance of her recovery and persistence material. East London based, comfortable in school, community and corporate audiences without changing register. Useful for organisations that want a high-profile athlete who reads the room. Biography highlights Commonwealth Games gold, uneven bars and team, Birmingham 2022. Commonwealth Games gold, uneven bars, Gold Coast 2018. World Championships silver, team, Liverpool 2022, with Great Britain. Team GB women’s artistic gymnastics, Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Trained from age five at South Essex Gymnastics Club; competes for Great Britain and England. Represented by Forte Model Management alongside her competitive career. Biography The uneven bars demand absolute composure inside an eight-second routine where one missed catch ends the competition. Georgia-Mae Fenton has stood on the top of the Commonwealth podium for that event twice, four years apart, in Gold Coast and Birmingham. That is a rare thing in any sport: holding a championship standard across a full Olympic cycle of injury risk, selection politics and shifting code requirements. The Liverpool World Championships in 2022 was the broader inflection point. Fenton was part of the five-woman Great Britain team that took silver, the strongest result a British women’s artistic gymnastics team has ever produced at a World Championship. That medal also booked the team’s quota place for Paris 2024. At Paris she made her Olympic debut as one of the more experienced figures in a young Team GB quintet that finished fourth, edged off the podium by Brazil in the final rotation. The arc from junior British champion at fifteen, to Commonwealth gold at seventeen, to Olympian at twenty-three, is the substance she draws on when she speaks about persistence and re-entry after long stretches of work with no obvious return. She works with corporate, school and community audiences from her base in East London. The material is grounded in what she has actually done: holding a routine when it counts, going back to the same event a second time after winning it once, and recovering form after the years when the medals do not come. Key speaking topics Composure under high-stakes performance pressure Defending a peak across long performance cycles Recovery and re-entry after setback Discipline and goal-setting in elite sport Team dynamics inside a high-performing squad Mental health and stress management for young performers Role models and visibility in women’s sport Ideal for Corporate audiences in sectors with high-pressure delivery cycles (sales, trading, professional services) HR and talent leaders programming on resilience, wellbeing and early-career performance Schools, universities and youth-facing organisations focused on aspiration and persistence Women’s networks and ERGs commissioning speakers on visibility in sport Audience outcomes A concrete view of what composure looks like inside an eight-second performance window, told by someone who has executed it on the world stage The mechanics of preparing to defend a title, which is different in kind from preparing to win one Honest material on the years when the medals do not come and the work continues A grounded perspective on managing public expectation as a young woman in elite sport

Why organisations work with Glenn Marsden In his hands, mental health becomes a business conversation that senior leaders take responsibility for, grounded in lived experience of body dysmorphia and the loss of a close friend. He has built and scaled a global advocacy platform from zero, the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, which gives him direct evidence of what changes when people in positions of influence speak openly about their own pressure. His keynote treats wellbeing as a leadership issue, connecting how senior people hold identity and performance under change to the cultural cost of silence at the top. His content travels: a published book series, the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast, and hundreds of public-figure interviews give audiences a body of work to carry on with long after the keynote. Biography highlights Founder, Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, launched 2018, a global mental wellbeing advocacy movement. Author of the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign book series, with Volume 3 released January 2026. Host of the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, interviewing public figures on mental health and wellbeing. Has delivered speaking engagements across Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Dubai, Thailand, and Japan. Biography The cost of mental health pressure inside organisations is now showing up where it used to stay hidden. It sits with the people running them. Glenn Marsden built the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign in 2018 to make that conversation possible, starting with a question senior leaders rarely answer in public: what does it actually cost you to keep up appearances? The campaign was founded after the suicide of a close friend and Marsden’s own struggle with body dysmorphia. What began as a single advocacy project has grown into a content platform with a published book series, the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast, and a long roster of public-figure interviews. The argument that runs through all of it is simple: when people in positions of visibility speak openly about their own pressure, the social permission for everyone else to do the same expands. What audiences get is a working argument, made by someone who has spent years getting senior people to say in public what they say to each other in private: that perfectionism is expensive, silence at the top sets the tone for the rest of the organisation, and the leaders who name the pressure first are the ones who change the culture. Key speaking topics Mental health and the cost of perfectionism Identity and self-worth through change Resilience under sustained pressure Authentic leadership and lived experience Building advocacy platforms from zero Storytelling and public influence Ideal for CHRO and chief people officer audiences setting the mental health agenda Executive leadership offsites where wellbeing is treated as a strategy issue Senior leadership development programmes addressing perfectionism and burnout in high performers Conferences on workplace wellbeing, culture, and mental health where lived experience adds credibility to the data Audience outcomes A direct, founder-led account of how mental health pressure operates at senior levels and why it stays hidden. Words for naming perfectionism and silence inside organisations, without the wellness clichés. A map of how identity loss works after disruption, and how people find direction again, drawn from what the campaign has surfaced across cultures and industries. Evidence, from the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign and the hundreds of public-figure conversations it has gathered, of what changes when people in positions of influence speak openly.

Why organisations work with Gordon Buchanan A working BBC broadcaster, not a retired one. Three decades of presenter-led natural history series mean he holds an audience the moment he steps on stage, before the substantive content begins. A credible male voice on mental health, grounded in In the Hide: How the Natural World Saved My Life, a Sunday Times bestseller. The story is his own, which is why audiences listen. A genuine conservationist with institutional backing: MBE for services to conservation and wildlife film-making, patronages of Trees for Life and The Gorilla Organization, ambassadorship of the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Stories from inside hides in Svalbard, Ellesmere, Mumbai and Mongolia, used to make points about composure, patience and decision-making under sustained physical pressure rather than as travelogue. Range across the brief: keynote, after-dinner, fireside, awards host. The presenter craft is the asset that makes the substantive content land in a corporate room. Biography highlights Scottish wildlife cameraman, filmmaker and presenter; over thirty years with the BBC and other major broadcasters. BBC series include The Bear Family and Me, The Polar Bear Family and Me, Snow Wolf Family and Me, Gorilla Family and Me, Elephant Family and Me, Tribes, Predators and Me, Life in the Snow, Our Changing Planet and Big Cats 24/7. MBE, 2020 New Year Honours, for services to conservation and wildlife film-making. Honorary Doctorate, University of Stirling; Honorary Fellowship, Royal Scottish Geographical Society; Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Award (Environment), 2013. Author of In the Hide: How the Natural World Saved My Life (Penguin, 2025), instant Sunday Times bestseller. Patron of Trees for Life and The Gorilla Organization; Ambassador of the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Biography Most conversations about resilience in organisations stall at vocabulary. People know what they are supposed to say. They struggle to say anything useful about how a person actually stays functional through sustained pressure, repeated setback and long stretches of discomfort. A voice that has lived the question, in concrete and unglamorous detail, lands differently in the room. Three decades of BBC natural history work have put Gordon Buchanan inside cramped camera hides in Svalbard, Ellesmere, Mumbai and Mongolia, often for weeks at a time, in extreme cold, sleep deprivation and physical risk. Series including The Bear Family and Me, Snow Wolf Family and Me, Gorilla Family and Me, Tribes, Predators and Me and Big Cats 24/7 have made him one of the most widely watched presenters in British wildlife television. The published work behind the keynote is In the Hide: How the Natural World Saved My Life, an instant Sunday Times bestseller from Penguin in 2025. It is an honest account of a hard childhood in Glasgow and on Mull, the mental-health pressures that followed a public career, and the role of routine, family, exercise and the natural world in staying well. The book is the reason corporate audiences hear him as a credible voice on men’s mental health rather than a wildlife presenter making a side argument. Institutional recognition tracks the conservation half of the same career: an MBE in the 2020 New Year Honours for services to conservation and wildlife film-making, an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Stirling, an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, and active patronages of Trees for Life, The Gorilla Organization and the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Key speaking topics Mental health, resilience and the restorative role of the natural world Men’s mental health and the cost of silence Storytelling as a leadership and engagement tool Patience, composure and decision-making under sustained pressure Wildlife conservation and the climate-nature agenda Connection to nature as a workplace wellbeing input After-dinner storytelling drawn from three decades of BBC filming Ideal for HR, people and wellbeing leads designing mental-health programmes that need a credible male voice Leadership offsites and senior partner retreats where the conversation needs to go beyond resilience language Sustainability, ESG and conservation-linked events anchored by a recognised BBC presenter After-dinner and awards-night programmes where presenter craft matters as much as topic Audience outcomes A more honest internal vocabulary for mental health, particularly among men who do not usually engage with the topic A specific picture of what sustained composure under pressure looks like in practice, drawn from filming conditions in extreme environments A renewed case for nature, routine and physical activity as legitimate wellbeing inputs rather than soft extras A clearer link between the conservation agenda the organisation talks about and the human story behind it Footage and stories that audiences remember long after the session, useful for downstream internal communication

Why organisations work with Hannah Cooper-Dommett A working ITV presenter who has co-hosted a network series and panel slots, so she handles live cues, interviews and unscripted moments without losing the room. Front-of-camera credibility built across M&S, GHD, Barbour, Boux Avenue and Macy’s campaigns, useful for brand-led events where the host is part of the visual product. Co-host of the Never Have I Ever podcast, a long-form conversational format that translates directly into on-stage interviews, fireside chats and panel moderation. Brain Tumour Support ambassador since 2021, which gives a substantive thread for charity galas, fundraising dinners and wellbeing-led internal moments. Marie Claire fashion writer, useful for retail, beauty and lifestyle brand audiences where the host needs to speak the category fluently. Biography highlights Co-hosted the ITV series At Home With Joel Dommett in 2020. Co-host of the Never Have I Ever podcast. Commercial campaigns for M&S, GHD, Barbour, Boux Avenue and Macy’s. Online fashion writer for Marie Claire. Brand ambassador for Brain Tumour Support since 2021. BA in Fashion Management and Marketing, University for the Creative Arts (2012). Biography A corporate awards night runs for three hours, has nine sponsor mentions, twelve category winners and a senior audience that has had a long week. The host has to make all of that feel like a single evening, not a running order. That is presenter craft, and it is the core of what Cooper-Dommett does. She built that craft on ITV, co-hosting At Home With Joel Dommett during the 2020 lockdown, and through guest slots on Loose Women, Saturday Kitchen, Celebrity Gogglebox and The Chris & Rosie Ramsey Show. The Never Have I Ever podcast, co-hosted with Joel Dommett, gives her a long-form conversational instinct that maps onto fireside interviews and panel moderation. The commercial side reinforces the booking case. Campaigns for M&S, GHD, Barbour, Boux Avenue and Macy’s, plus a Marie Claire fashion column, sit her credibly inside retail, beauty and lifestyle audiences. For charity and wellbeing-led events, her work as a Brain Tumour Support ambassador since 2021 is a genuine throughline rather than a borrowed cause. The booking is the host, not the keynote. Buyers who need a presenter who can carry a script, work a room and protect the rhythm of an evening get a working broadcaster with a brand-friendly profile and a real charitable association behind her name. Key speaking topics Awards ceremony hosting Corporate event hosting Panel moderation and on-stage interviews Fashion, beauty and lifestyle audiences Wellbeing and mental health advocacy Brain Tumour Support ambassadorship Personal branding and media presence Ideal for Awards ceremonies and gala dinners needing a TV-trained host Retail, fashion and beauty brand events and product launches Charity fundraisers, particularly in the health and wellbeing space Internal conferences and town halls needing a warm, non-corporate presenter for fireside chats and panels Audience outcomes An evening that holds its energy from welcome to close, with sponsor moments handled cleanly. Panel conversations that move, with guests drawn out rather than read at. A brand-aligned host presence for retail, beauty and lifestyle audiences. A credible, non-performative voice on Brain Tumour Support and wellbeing themes when the brief calls for it.

Why organisations work with Hayley Mulenda She has been booked into the rooms where retention strategy is set, including Microsoft HQ in Redmond, Unilever’s C-suite under Leena Nair, and Meta MENA’s leadership. Her TEDxLSE talk «The Danger of Being a Role Model» frames a specific argument about authenticity that translates directly into how organisations think about leadership visibility and reverse mentoring. She holds an active operating seat as Brand Board Member at Wagamama, so the inclusion and culture content is informed by board-level decision-making, not consultancy at arm’s length. Her work on the gap between C-suite intent and Gen Z lived experience addresses a problem most leadership teams can name but few can resolve. Her book «The ABCs to Student Success» and her TEDx platform give her a public body of work that buyers can read before booking. Biography highlights TEDxLSE speaker, «The Danger of Being a Role Model» Author, «The ABCs to Student Success» Brand Board Member, Wagamama Keynote and consulting work with Microsoft, Unilever, JP Morgan, Google, Meta MENA, Chanel, Bloomberg Media, Harrods, Clifford Chance, Cabinet Office UK Spoken at Wembley Arena, Oslo Spektrum, and the UK Houses of Parliament Named one of 25 Black entrepreneurs to watch in 2024, The Black Business Show x HSBC Biography The cost of failing to engage a younger workforce is now measured at executive committee level. Retention has become a leadership question rather than an HR one. Hayley Mulenda’s work sits at the point where mental health, inclusion, and generational change converge inside that question. She came to the work through her own experience. After a suicide attempt at 18, she rebuilt her life around the practical mechanics of mental health and self-worth, and turned that into a public body of work. Her TEDxLSE talk, «The Danger of Being a Role Model», argues that organisations and leaders default to curated personas when employees actually need authenticity, and that the difference is what determines trust. Her client list reflects how that argument lands inside large organisations. Microsoft brought her to Redmond. Unilever’s then Chief HR Officer Leena Nair, now CEO of Chanel, has worked with her. Meta MENA, JP Morgan, Bloomberg Media, Clifford Chance, Google, the Cabinet Office, and Teach First have all booked her on briefs covering wellbeing, inclusion, and reverse mentoring. Wagamama appointed her to its brand board. The «ABCs to Student Success» gives her a published framework. The board seat keeps the work close to operating decisions. Together, they explain why she is booked less as a wellbeing speaker and more as a translator between senior leaders and the workforce now reporting to them. Key speaking topics Mental health and wellbeing in the workplace Reverse mentoring and generational engagement Diversity, equity and inclusion Employee retention and the social contract of work Authentic leadership and personal branding Workplace culture across the MENA region Ideal for CHROs and people directors managing retention of Gen Z and millennial talent Inclusion and culture leads building reverse mentoring or ERG programmes Executive teams reviewing employee engagement and wellbeing strategy Conferences and offsites where leadership wants a credible voice on mental health rather than a generic one Audience outcomes A working language for the difference between leader visibility and leader authenticity, and why one drives engagement and the other does not A direct view of what younger employees actually want from senior leaders A reframing of mental health from a wellbeing programme into a retention lever Practical reference points for designing reverse mentoring that produces decisions, not optics

Why organisations work with Heather J. Crider Pairs neuroscience-based performance content with live percussion through her Everyday Rockstar collaboration with drummer Mark Schulman, a format conference programmers book specifically to reset audience energy in long event agendas. Uses the Impact Index, a proprietary assessment she co-created with Schulman, to give teams a measurable read on how they show up for colleagues and clients, so the keynote leaves a tool behind rather than only a feeling. Translates research on stress, attention, and recovery into short-form micro-practices that fit inside an executive day, designed for audiences who have already been through the standard wellness curriculum. Brings 15 years of conference keynoting and a working podcast platform, Go Reflect Yourself, to her sessions, so delivery quality is a known quantity for nervous programme leads. Wrote the 2024 book Believe In Yourself More Than Your Grandma, which gives audiences a take-home extension of the keynote material and a credible authorial anchor. Biography highlights Author, Believe In Yourself More Than Your Grandma: Unleash Your Superpower Through Simple Neuroscience, 2024. Co-founder of Everyday Rockstar with Mark Schulman, drummer for P!nk and Billy Idol. Co-creator of the Impact Index, a validated assessment of how individuals show up for others. Host of the Go Reflect Yourself Podcast. Headline keynote at Anthology Together 2024 and the 2025 CPI Certified Instructors’ Conference. Featured in Forbes, Yahoo Finance, Brainz Magazine, and Thrive Global. Biography The standard playbook for workforce wellbeing has run its course. Steps challenges, mindfulness apps, and resilience workshops have not stopped the climb in burnout and disengagement. Heather J. Crider’s work begins from that observation. She designs brain-based protocols for leaders and teams who already know they are tired and want a method, not another inspirational reset. The signature format pairs her neuroperformance keynote with Mark Schulman, the drummer behind P!nk and Billy Idol. Together they co-founded Everyday Rockstar and co-created the Impact Index, an assessment that gives audiences a measurable read on how they affect the people around them. The combination, live percussion and applied neuroscience, is the reason conference programmers book the duo to reset energy across full agendas. Crider’s individual practice sits inside this broader system. She published Believe In Yourself More Than Your Grandma: Unleash Your Superpower Through Simple Neuroscience in 2024, hosts the Go Reflect Yourself Podcast, and works through coaching programmes informed by neuroscience research. She has been featured in Forbes, Yahoo Finance, Brainz Magazine, and Thrive Global, and headlined Anthology Together 2024 alongside Schulman to address EdTech leadership audiences on bold action under pressure. The argument she makes to senior buyers is straightforward. If workforces are tired, the intervention has to change the underlying inputs to attention, recovery, and emotional regulation, not the surface activity.

Why organisations work with Helen Lawal Clinical credibility that few wellbeing speakers match: 15 years as an NHS GP, MRCGP, and a postgraduate qualification in nutrition, so the science in the room is hers, not borrowed. A rare specialism in ADHD and AuDHD in women, shaped by a private practice focused on nutrition and sustainable behaviour change for this group. Named ambassador for ADHD UK and trainer on the National Autism Training Programme, so the neurodiversity content is informed by advocacy and training work, not a topic pick-up. Television presenting experience on Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped and How to Lose Weight Well, which translates into a speaker who can hold a large room and explain science without losing it. Lived experience as a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman, which grounds the work in something buyers trust more than a deck. Biography highlights NHS GP with 15 years of clinical experience, MRCGP, MBBS (Hull York Medical School), BSc Sport and Exercise Science (University of Leeds), DFSRH, MNutr. Celebrity Ambassador for ADHD UK (charity number 1188365). Trainer on the National Autism Training Programme. Presenter on Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped; co-presenter of How to Lose Weight Well with Dr Javid Abdelmoneim. Runs a private practice supporting ADHD and AuDHD women with nutrition, eating habits, and sustainable health behaviour change. Media contributor across BBC, ITV’s This Morning, Steph’s Packed Lunch, and BBC Radio Leeds on women’s health, nutrition, and neurodiversity. Biography Most corporate wellbeing content still assumes a neurotypical employee. For the quarter of any workforce that is neurodivergent, and especially for the women diagnosed in their thirties and forties after years of being told they were simply disorganised, the standard advice lands badly. That gap is where Dr Helen Lawal’s work sits. She came to it through clinical practice. Fifteen years as an NHS GP, MRCGP-qualified, with a medical degree from Hull York Medical School and a first degree in sport and exercise science from Leeds, gave her the grounding. A postgraduate qualification in nutrition and a specialism in ADHD turned it into a defined practice area. She now runs a private service for ADHD and AuDHD women focused on eating, energy, and sustainable behaviour change, the areas where standard GP time runs out. The public-facing side has been built in parallel. She presents Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped and co-presents How to Lose Weight Well, work that has trained her to explain food science and weight management to a mainstream audience without losing the evidence base. She is a Celebrity Ambassador for ADHD UK and a trainer on the National Autism Training Programme, which keeps the neurodiversity content anchored in advocacy and training, not marketing. For an organisation, the value is a speaker who can talk credibly to HR, DEI, and wellbeing leads about what actually helps neurodivergent employees, particularly women, and who can do it in a register that works for an all-staff audience as well as a clinical one. Key speaking topics ADHD and AuDHD in women Neurodiversity in the workplace Nutrition and eating behaviour Women’s health and hormones Sustainable weight management Neuroaffirming health and wellbeing Health communication and behaviour change Ideal for HR, DEI, and wellbeing leads designing neuro-inclusive programmes Employee networks and ERGs focused on women’s health, neurodiversity, or both Healthcare, pharma, and insurance organisations briefing clinicians and communicators Conferences and internal events that need a clinician who can present to a non-clinical audience Audience outcomes A clearer picture of how ADHD and AuDHD present in women, and why late diagnosis is common Specific, evidence-based guidance on nutrition and eating behaviour for neurodivergent adults Language and framing for neuroaffirming conversations at work A realistic view of what sustainable behaviour change looks like, separate from diet-industry claims Practical signals managers and HR can use to support neurodivergent colleagues

Why organisations work with Helen Richardson-Walsh A first-hand account of the cultural reset that took GB women’s hockey from Olympic underachievers to Rio 2016 gold, told by a senior player who was inside the leadership group for 11 years. A working performance psychologist’s view of how psychological safety, belonging and honest feedback are engineered in a daily training environment, drawn from her current role with Tottenham Hotspur Women. A credible voice on mental health at the top of high-pressure environments, grounded in her own documented recovery from clinical depression and career-threatening back surgery between London 2012 and Rio 2016. A practical perspective on inclusion as a performance variable, informed by being part of the first same-sex married couple to win Olympic gold on the same team and the cultural work that made that possible inside the squad. Co-author of “Winning Together” (Hachette, 2020), a book leaders cite as a tactical, behaviour-level account of building a winning team, not a memoir. Biography highlights Olympic gold medallist, Rio 2016, with Team GB women’s hockey; one of only two players to score in the shootout that beat the Netherlands in the final. Youngest woman ever to represent GB hockey at an Olympic Games, on debut at Sydney 2000, aged 18. Olympic bronze, London 2012; European champion, 2015; 293 caps for England and Great Britain across four Olympic Games. MBE for services to hockey, 2017 New Year Honours. Co-author of “Winning Together: An Olympic-Winning Approach to Building Better Teams” (Hachette, 2020), with Kate Richardson-Walsh. Performance Psychologist with Tottenham Hotspur Women since 2021; holds a Master’s in Organisational Psychology from City, University of London, and trains as a sport psychologist with elite teams. Biography GB women’s hockey arrived at London 2012 with a bronze medal and an open question about whether the squad could ever win at the level its talent suggested. The four years that followed were not a story of more training. They were a story of a deliberate cultural rebuild: explicit team values, leadership shared across the senior players, hard conversations about behaviour, and a willingness to treat psychology as a daily performance system. Rio 2016 produced the first Olympic gold for British women’s hockey. Helen Richardson-Walsh made her Olympic debut at Sydney 2000 as the youngest woman ever to represent GB hockey, and sat inside that leadership group for 11 of her 18 years in the squad. Her experience is unusually specific. Between the two Olympics she also went through two ruptured discs, multiple back and ankle surgeries, and a period of clinical depression severe enough to require professional treatment. The Rio gold was won by a player who had been told she might not play again, who had used therapy and mindfulness to come back, and who was one of only two players to score in the shootout that won the final against the Netherlands. That combination of operating inside an elite team culture and rebuilding her own performance from the inside is the content she now works with. She is co-author, with Kate Richardson-Walsh, of “Winning Together” (Hachette, 2020), a working manual on team building drawn directly from the Rio cycle. She is a Performance Psychologist with Tottenham Hotspur Women, where her brief includes individual mindset work and squad culture, and she holds a Master’s in Organisational Psychology from City, University of London. For senior teams the value is in the precision of her examples. How psychological safety actually shows up in a meeting. What belonging looks like when a married couple are competing for the same shirt. How a high performer talks about depression without losing their place in the team. What inclusion does to performance when the pressure is on. The credibility is the medal; the substance is what she did to get there and what she does now. Key speaking topics High-performance team culture Psychological safety and belonging Inclusion in elite performance environments Resilience after injury, setback and depression Mental health and wellbeing at senior level Leadership inside high-pressure teams Performance mindset Ideal for CHROs, heads of talent and culture leads building team norms in pressured commercial environments. Executive teams and senior leadership groups going through performance reset or post-restructure rebuild. Wellbeing, DEI and people leaders working on inclusion and psychological safety as performance issues, not compliance. Sales, trading floor and operating leadership groups where sustained pressure is the working environment. Audience outcomes A concrete account of how an elite team rebuilt its culture in four years, with the specific behaviours that changed. A working definition of psychological safety drawn from a team where the cost of getting it wrong was visible in performance. Language for talking about mental health and recovery at senior level without softening or sensationalising it. A view of inclusion as a performance variable, not a values statement. Practical mental tools used by elite athletes that translate to commercial high-pressure roles.
