Why organisations work with Helen Clark Eight years running a 17,000-staff UN agency across 170 countries gives her a working view of how multilateral institutions actually function under pressure, not a commentator’s view from outside. She co-chaired the WHO Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response with Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the most authoritative post-mortem of the COVID response, presented directly to the World Health Assembly. As President of Chatham House and incoming Chair of the Gavi Board, she sits inside the live debates on global governance, vaccine financing and rules-based order that boards are now exposed to. She brings a head-of-government perspective on climate, gender equality and sustainable development that translates into how governments will actually behave on those files, not how they say they will. Biography highlights Prime Minister of New Zealand, 1999 to 2008, three successive terms; first woman elected to the office. Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme and Chair of the UN Development Group, 2009 to 2017. Co-Chair, WHO Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, 2020 to 2021. President, Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs), since 2021. Chair of the Gavi Board, the Vaccine Alliance, from January 2026. Member of The Elders and the Global Commission on Drug Policy; author of “Women, Equality, Power” (2018). Biography The institutions that govern the global system, the UN, the WHO, the WTO, the climate negotiations, the development banks, were built for a different world. They are now under pressure from great-power competition, populist politics, and constrained public finances at the same time. Helen Clark has run two of them from the inside. She served three terms as Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1999 to 2008, the first woman elected to the office, then eight years as Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, where she also chaired the UN Development Group. UNDP under her leadership operated in around 170 countries with a budget of roughly five billion dollars and was repeatedly assessed as one of the better-performing parts of the UN system on transparency and reform. In 2020 the WHO Director-General asked her to co-chair the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response with Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. The panel’s report, “COVID-19: Make it the Last Pandemic”, went to the World Health Assembly in May 2021 and remains the central reference document on what the global health system got wrong and what would need to change. She is now President of Chatham House and, from January 2026, Chair of the Gavi Board. Her current portfolio of roles, Chatham House, Gavi, The Elders, the Global Commission on Drug Policy, sits at the operational core of the rules-based order that boards now treat as a risk variable. That is what she brings into a leadership room: not a commentary on geopolitics, but a working sense of how the institutions inside it actually move. Key speaking topics Geopolitical risk and the multilateral system Sustainable Development Goals and the post-2015 agenda Pandemic preparedness and global health governance Climate action and the politics of energy transition Women, equality and leadership in public life Open government and anti-corruption The Asia-Pacific in a contested global order Ideal for Boards and executive committees pricing geopolitical and multilateral risk into strategy CEOs and CSOs leading on climate, ESG and sustainable development commitments Heads of public affairs, government relations and global policy Leadership programmes for senior women and emerging public-interest leaders Audience outcomes A grounded read on where the multilateral system retains authority and where it has lost it A clearer view of how pandemic preparedness, climate and development files will move at the UN, WHO and G20 levels A working sense of what executive leadership inside a UN agency or a national government actually requires A serious frame for the politics of gender, equality and inclusion in senior leadership

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 Ivelyse Andino She runs a revenue-generating company built inside the communities most health strategies talk about but rarely reach, so her recommendations are tested against real outcomes, not theory. She holds a seat on the American Medical Association’s External Equity and Innovation Advisory Group, which gives her a direct read on how the largest US physician body is attempting to embed equity into clinical innovation. She has built and commercialised an AI product, Radical Relay, that prepares patients for clinical visits, so she can speak credibly to boards about the operational gap between AI hype and AI that earns community trust. She has translated health equity from slogan to structure by founding the first Latina-owned-and-operated Benefit Corporation in New York City, offering a concrete model for mission-aligned commercial design. Her fellowships with the Roddenberry Foundation and the Aspen Institute, alongside Crain’s Whole Health Heroes recognition, signal that her perspective is taken seriously by institutional and philanthropic funders shaping the next decade of health policy. Biography highlights Founder and CEO, Radical Health, the first Latina-owned-and-operated Benefit Corporation in New York City. Member, American Medical Association Center for Health Equity External Equity and Innovation Advisory Group. 2022 Aspen Institute Health Innovators Fellow and 2019 Roddenberry Foundation Fellow. Former Commissioner, New York City Commission on Gender Equity. Recognised in Crain’s New York and Empire BlueCross BlueShield Whole Health Heroes, and reported on Rock Health’s Top 50 in Digital Health Luminaries. Featured in Washington Post, Forbes, Nasdaq and Crain’s New York; speaking credits include Aspen Ideas Festival, Harvard Intercollegiate Business Convention, and TEDx Bronx. Biography Health equity is one of the most heavily cited commitments in corporate and clinical strategy, and one of the least operationalised. Radical Health was built to close that gap from the bottom up. The company, founded and led by Ivelyse Andino, combines kitchen-table community organising with AI-enabled tools that help patients walk into clinical visits prepared, informed and able to advocate for themselves. Andino came to this work through the health technology industry, not around it. She spent her early career launching digital health products, including a mobile prescribing platform, and working with clients such as NHS London and Kaiser Permanente. When her mother was diagnosed with cancer, the limits of that system became personal, and the distance between clinical knowledge and community access became the problem she decided to solve. Radical Health is a Benefit Corporation, legally structured to hold commercial performance and community outcomes together. Its flagship product, Radical Relay, has been described as a “know your rights” app for healthcare, using peer-informed prompts and natural language tools to reduce the information asymmetry patients face in clinical settings. That product design sits alongside workshops and training that surface the social determinants of health inside workforces and provider networks. Her institutional standing reinforces the field work. She serves on the American Medical Association’s External Equity and Innovation Advisory Group, helping shape how the largest US physician body directs investment toward equitable innovation. She is a 2022 Aspen Institute Health Innovators Fellow, a 2019 Roddenberry Foundation Fellow, a former Commissioner on the New York City Commission on Gender Equity, and a recipient of the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper grant for work on social determinants of health in NYC Community Schools. Key speaking topics Health equity as an operating discipline Community-led design in healthcare and employer wellbeing AI and digital health products that earn community trust Benefit Corporation models for mission-aligned growth Social determinants of health inside workforces and benefits design Women, Latina and founder-of-colour perspectives on health innovation Patient self-advocacy and health literacy at scale Ideal for CHROs and heads of benefits rebuilding employee health, wellbeing and maternal health programmes around underserved populations. Healthcare, payer and life sciences executives who need a credible outside voice on equitable AI deployment and community trust. DEI, ESG and impact leads accountable for measurable outcomes in health-related commitments. Foundation, public health and policy audiences working on health system reform and social determinants of health. Audience outcomes A clear view of where current health equity and wellbeing strategies are failing the people they claim to serve, and why. A working model for how a commercial organisation can hold mission and margin together through benefit-corp structure and community governance. A grounded assessment of how AI is being used in health settings today, which uses build trust and which erode it. Language and frameworks that CHROs, benefits leaders and clinical teams can use to reset conversations with marginalised employee and patient populations. Named examples from Radical Health, the AMA advisory work, and NYC community programmes that leaders can adapt for their own context.

Why organisations work with James Davies He brings elite sport recovery practice directly into the office: the same posture, mobility and recovery principles used with Team GB track and field athletes at Rio 2016, translated for people sitting at desks. He treats physical wellbeing as measurable behaviour change, not inspiration. Audiences leave with specific stretches, ergonomic fixes and microbreak routines they can run the next morning. His client work with Hugo Lloris, Marcus Smith and performers in music and television gives him a credible way to talk about performance under pressure without drifting into motivational abstraction. As author of the Sunday Times bestseller “Body” (HarperCollins), he has already distilled his method for a general reader, which makes the keynote version land quickly with mixed corporate audiences. His patronage of STAMMA and his own experience of stammering give the session a personal register when the brief calls for resilience or human story, without the profile depending on it. Biography highlights Founder and CEO of Rising Health, a London-based osteopathy and performance practice established in 2009. Team therapist for Team GB track and field athletes at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Sunday Times bestselling author of “Body: Simple Techniques and Strategies to Heal, Reset and Restore” (HarperCollins, 2022). Trained as an osteopath at the British School of Osteopathy; earlier study in massage and sports injuries at the London School of Massage. Patron of STAMMA, the British Stammering Association. Clinical base at the South Kensington Club, London; client work spans Premiership football, international rugby, Olympic athletics, music and television. Biography Most corporate wellbeing talks leave people nodding and then returning to the same chair, the same screen, the same tight shoulders by Thursday. Davies works the other way round. His starting point is the body in front of him, and a short list of things that actually change how it feels. That practical bias comes from two decades of hands-on clinical work. He trained as an osteopath at the British School of Osteopathy, founded Rising Health in 2009, and built a client list that runs from Premiership footballers and Olympic track and field athletes to performers who cannot afford to be injured before a tour. In 2016 he was selected as a team therapist for Team GB at the Rio Olympics. The same method is now available to general readers. His book “Body: Simple Techniques and Strategies to Heal, Reset and Restore” was published by HarperCollins in 2022 and reached the Sunday Times bestseller list. It is a recovery manual written for people who do not have a physio on call, which is exactly the audience most organisations are trying to reach when they commission a wellbeing keynote. He is also Patron of STAMMA, the British Stammering Association, and speaks openly about his own stammer when a brief calls for a resilience thread. The clinical substance stays the primary reason buyers bring him in: a clinician who can stand in front of five hundred employees, give them three things to do on Monday, and have them feel the difference by the end of the week. Key speaking topics Workplace physical wellbeing and pain prevention Posture, ergonomics and desk-based health Recovery habits from elite sport Sustainable performance under pressure Sleep, stress and physical resilience Movement and mobility for sedentary workforces Ideal for HR, People and Wellbeing leaders commissioning a credible physical health keynote for a wider wellbeing programme Internal communications and employee experience teams running conferences, offsites or return-to-office events Leadership and high-performance teams in sales, trading, consulting or law where sustained intensity is the job Event organisers looking for a practical clinical voice alongside mental health and nutrition speakers Audience outcomes Specific daily habits for posture, mobility and microbreaks that work in an office or at home A clearer sense of how elite athletes structure recovery, and which parts of it translate to desk work Confidence to spot early warning signs of back, neck and shoulder strain before they become absence A short, memorable set of techniques for sleep, breathing and stress discharge A personal story about stammering that gives resilience content a human anchor when the brief calls for it

Why organisations work with Janey Lee Grace She brings a national-broadcast voice to a workplace wellbeing topic most internal teams avoid raising: how alcohol shows up in meetings, client entertainment, conferences and team rituals. Her coaching method is built around grey area drinkers, the majority of working adults who are not clinically dependent but whose drinking quietly affects sleep, mood, decision-making and presenteeism. The Sober Club gives her a live evidence base of what actually shifts behaviour at scale, drawn from a community of members and an accredited coach training programme, not theory alone. She is credible to a senior audience: 25+ years on BBC Radio 2’s Steve Wright in the Afternoon, a TEDx talk on sobriety, and the Amazon No. 1 bestseller Imperfectly Natural Woman. She speaks about alcohol culture without moralising, which is the practical reason internal sponsors trust her in front of mixed audiences. Biography highlights Co-presenter for more than two decades on BBC Radio 2’s Steve Wright in the Afternoon Founder of The Sober Club, an online community and coaching business focused on alcohol-free living Host of the Alcohol Free Life podcast, 450+ episodes, ranked by the publisher in the top 5% globally TEDx speaker, Sobriety Rocks: Who Knew!, TEDxNorwichED, 2019 Author of Happy Healthy Sober, the Amazon No. 1 bestseller Imperfectly Natural Woman, and the memoir From Wham to Woo Founder of the Janey Loves Platinum Awards, an annual awards programme for the natural and wellbeing sector, in its tenth year Biography Most workplaces are quietly built around alcohol. It anchors networking events, end-of-quarter celebrations, client dinners and the social glue between teams. Wellbeing programmes rarely touch it, because the topic feels personal and the social cost of raising it feels too high. That gap is the territory Janey Lee Grace works in. Her route into the subject is unusually credible. She spent more than two decades as a co-presenter on BBC Radio 2’s Steve Wright in the Afternoon, one of the most listened-to shows in the UK, and built a parallel career as an author of bestselling books on natural health, including the Amazon No. 1 Imperfectly Natural Woman. In January 2018 she stopped drinking. The Sober Club, the coaching practice, the Alcohol Free Life podcast and the TEDx talk Sobriety Rocks: Who Knew! followed. What she offers organisations is not a personal story dressed up as a talk. It is a practical argument grounded in the concept of grey area drinking, the working population who are not dependent but whose drinking shapes how they sleep, recover, present and decide. She is a qualified Grey Area Drinking Coach, an NLP Practitioner and an EFT practitioner, and she trains other coaches through an accredited programme. The Sober Club gives her a continuous read on what shifts behaviour for working adults outside a clinical setting. The point for a senior audience is not abstinence. It is to make alcohol a legible part of a wellbeing strategy: visible in policy, visible in event design, visible in how leaders model the social contract of work. That is a conversation most organisations have not had, and she is one of the few public figures equipped to start it without the room going defensive. Key speaking topics Workplace alcohol culture and wellbeing strategy Grey area drinking and performance at work Sobriety, sober-curious living and behaviour change Mental health and the social contract of work Natural health and holistic wellbeing Personal reinvention and second-act careers Ideal for HR, wellbeing and culture leads designing post-pandemic wellbeing programmes DEI and employee resource group sponsors looking at inclusion of non-drinkers and recovering drinkers Internal communications and events teams rethinking the role of alcohol at company events Professional services and finance leaders where client entertainment culture is a live issue Audience outcomes A language for discussing alcohol at work that does not moralise or alienate drinkers The grey area drinking framework as a way to think about wellbeing risk in the working population Specific prompts for redesigning company events, client entertainment and team rituals A clearer view of how alcohol intersects with sleep, mood, presenteeism and decision quality Permission, for leaders who want it, to model a different default

Why organisations work with Jeff Speck He has translated walkability from a planning preference into a measurable argument about carbon, healthcare costs, property values and downtown economic performance, set out in Walkable City and applied in master plans for Memphis, Grand Rapids, Lowell and Tampa. His General Theory of Walkability gives mayors, developers and corporate site selectors a single framework for evaluating the trade-offs in any street, block or downtown investment. He brings both sides of the table: ten years inside Duany Plater-Zyberk shaping the New Urbanism, four years running design policy at the National Endowment for the Arts, and almost two decades leading his own consultancy advising cities and the real estate industry. Walkable City is the best-selling urban planning book written this century, and his two 2013 TED Talks have passed six million views, which means audiences arrive already familiar with the argument and ready to discuss application. The 2022 Seaside Prize, awarded previously to Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander, places him in a small group of figures recognised for shaping how cities are now planned. Biography highlights Principal of Speck Dempsey, the urban design consultancy he has led since 2007. Director of Design at the US National Endowment for the Arts, 2003 to 2007, where he ran the Mayors’ Institute on City Design and founded the Governors’ Institute on Community Design. Former Director of Town Planning at Duany Plater-Zyberk and Company, a ten-year tenure inside the firm at the centre of the New Urbanism movement. Author of Walkable City and Walkable City Rules; co-author of Suburban Nation and The Smart Growth Manual. FAICP, FCNU, LEED-AP, Honorary ASLA. Master of Architecture with Distinction, Harvard Graduate School of Design. 2022 Seaside Prize, an award whose previous recipients include Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander. Ranked among the ten most influential urbanists of all time in Planetizen’s 2023 reader poll. Biography Most arguments about downtowns get stuck on aesthetics. The serious case is economic. Jeff Speck has spent twenty years showing public officials, developers and corporate leaders that the width of a lane, the placement of a parking lot and the design of a block decide whether a city captures investment, talent and tax base, or quietly loses it. Walkable City, published in 2012, set out the General Theory of Walkability and the ten-step process Speck uses to apply it. It became the best-selling urban planning book written this century, and his two 2013 TED Talks have since passed six million views. Walkable City Rules followed in 2018 as the operating manual for practitioners. The argument is built on three decades inside the work. Ten years as Director of Town Planning at Duany Plater-Zyberk and Company, the firm at the centre of the New Urbanism movement. Four years running design at the US National Endowment for the Arts, where he oversaw the Mayors’ Institute on City Design and created the Governors’ Institute on Community Design. Almost two decades leading Speck Dempsey on master plans and street designs for cities including Memphis, Grand Rapids, Lowell and Tampa. The 2022 Seaside Prize, awarded previously to Jane Jacobs and Christopher Alexander, recognises the small group of figures whose work has changed how American cities are now planned. For boards, mayors and developers wrestling with the future of downtown, Speck is the rare adviser who can move between climate strategy, real estate economics and the design of a single intersection without losing the thread. Key speaking topics Walkable cities and downtown economic performance The General Theory of Walkability Street design and the public realm New Urbanism and smart growth Cities, climate and public health economics Downtown revitalisation and real estate investment Transportation policy and the future of the car Ideal for Mayors, city managers, planning directors and downtown development authorities Real estate developers, REITs and corporate site selectors making place-based investment decisions Sustainability, ESG and climate leads in organisations linking property and emissions strategy Boards and senior teams in retail, hospitality and mixed-use real estate Audience outcomes A working definition of walkability as four conditions a street must meet, applicable to any block under review The economic case for walkable places, expressed in terms of property values, retail performance, healthcare costs and carbon A ten-step sequence for prioritising downtown investments when the budget will fund a fraction of what is on the wishlist A clear view of the trade-offs between car capacity, street life and downtown tax base, with named examples of cities that have got it right and wrong A shared vocabulary between planners, developers, finance teams and elected officials for the next set of decisions

Why organisations work with Jen Sincero Her four Badass books have sold more than five million copies in over forty languages, which gives audiences immediate familiarity and a shared vocabulary before she takes the stage. She speaks directly to the part of an engagement and retention problem that policy cannot fix: what people privately believe about their own potential, their right to earn, and their capacity to change a habit. Her audiobook narration of You Are a Badass won the 2014 Audie Award from the American Audio Publishers Association, evidence that the delivery itself, not only the writing, holds an audience. She is a regular speaker at the Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Conference for Women, which gives her a track record at the scale and format most women’s leadership programmes commission. She is one of the few keynote names that consistently lifts attendance and registration for internal empowerment, mental fitness, and money mindset events without requiring topical reframing for each booking. Biography highlights Number-one New York Times bestselling author of You Are a Badass, with over five million copies sold and translation into more than forty languages Author of four titles in the Badass series, including You Are a Badass at Making Money, also a New York Times bestseller 2014 Audie Award winner from the American Audio Publishers Association for narration of You Are a Badass Featured speaker at the Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Conference for Women Media credits include the New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, Bloomberg, The Dr. Oz Show, Oprah Magazine, Success Magazine, and The Howard Stern Show BA in English, Colorado College, 1987 Biography You Are a Badass became a slow-burn phenomenon after its 2013 release, climbing the New York Times bestseller list and staying there for years. The book reframed personal success as a problem of belief and habit rather than information. Jen Sincero wrote it, narrated it, and won the 2014 Audie Award from the American Audio Publishers Association for the audiobook. The Badass series now runs to four titles, including You Are a Badass at Making Money and Badass Habits, with combined sales of more than five million copies across forty languages. Sincero’s central argument is that the gap between what people say they want and what they do is held in place by inherited beliefs about money, worth, and what they are allowed to want. Closing that gap is the work of her books, coaching, and stage material. Her speaking practice is built for audiences inside organisations that have already tried policy answers to engagement and retention. She speaks at the Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Conference for Women, at corporate empowerment events, and at executive retreats where the brief is to shift what people privately believe is available to them. Her style is direct, comedic, and unapologetically practical, designed for action rather than reflection. Before the Badass books, Sincero was a freelance writer in Los Angeles and a workshop facilitator with the women’s entrepreneurial network Ladies Who Launch. She holds a BA in English from Colorado College. Her media credits include the New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, Bloomberg, Oprah Magazine, The Dr. Oz Show, and The Howard Stern Show. Key speaking topics Money mindset and wealth psychology Self-limiting belief and confidence Habit formation and behaviour change Personal motivation and empowerment Women’s leadership and entrepreneurship Ideal for CHROs and people leaders running engagement, retention, and internal mobility programmes Heads of DEI and women’s leadership networks commissioning conference and ERG keynotes Sales, broker, and advisor conferences where money belief and personal confidence determine output Internal empowerment, mental fitness, and culture moments inside large organisations Audience outcomes A direct, named language for the beliefs that quietly limit individual performance Specific habit-change tools drawn from Badass Habits, applicable from the day after the event A money-mindset frame that connects personal earning beliefs to commercial behaviour Higher attendance and registration energy around internal empowerment programming A shared reference that people leaders can carry into one-to-ones and team conversations

Why organisations work with Jennifer Medhurst A registered nutritionist (mBANT, rCNHC) trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, so claims made on stage are clinically grounded rather than influencer-led. Author of The Imperfect Nutritionist: 7 Principles of Healthy Eating (Kyle Books), giving wellbeing programmes a published framework to anchor sessions and follow-up content. A media-fluent communicator with an audience of over 1.5 million across TikTok and Instagram, which translates into a presenting style that holds a non-specialist corporate room. Comfortable on the specific topics employers actually ask about, including gut health, immunity, hormonal health, and the food and mood relationship, rather than a single signature talk. Biography highlights Registered Nutritionist with mBANT and rCNHC professional registrations. Three-year Nutrition diploma, awarded with distinction, from the College of Naturopathic Medicine. Author of The Imperfect Nutritionist: 7 Principles of Healthy Eating, Kyle Books. Founder of Jennifer Medhurst Nutrition, a private clinic in London. Early TikTok partner in the UK for educational health content; combined audience over 1.5 million across TikTok, Instagram and newsletter. Featured in Authority Magazine and Kudos Online Magazine on nutrition, self-care and wellbeing. Biography Nutrition has a credibility problem inside large organisations. Wellbeing leads have to choose between clinical dietitians who speak the language of pathology and social media voices who speak the language of trends. Neither lands well with a mixed corporate audience. Jennifer Medhurst sits between those two worlds. She is a registered nutritionist (mBANT, rCNHC) who trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, where she completed a three-year diploma with distinction. She runs a private clinic in London and writes for general readers, which is a rarer combination than it sounds. Her book, The Imperfect Nutritionist: 7 Principles of Healthy Eating, published by Kyle Books, sets out a framework built around whole foods, dietary diversity, fats, fermented foods, refined carbohydrate reduction, liquids and mindful eating. The framing is deliberately non-prescriptive. The argument is that personalised, sustainable habits beat any single plan, and that most employees know this already and are tired of being told otherwise. She reaches over 1.5 million people across TikTok, Instagram and her newsletter, and was approached as an early TikTok partner in the UK for educational health content. For wellbeing programmes, that audience reach is operational rather than decorative. It means she presents to non-specialists without slipping into either jargon or generality. Key speaking topics Gut health Immunity and diet Female health and hormones Mood and food Plant-forward and vegan eating Evidence-based nutrition without diet culture Corporate wellbeing and nutrition Ideal for Heads of wellbeing and benefits leaders designing employee health programmes. HR and people teams running wellness weeks, return-to-office days and employee resource group events. Internal communications leads commissioning credible health content for staff channels. Client and member events in financial services, professional services and consumer brands where wellbeing is part of the proposition. Audience outcomes A workable set of principles for everyday eating that does not depend on a particular diet or product. Clearer thinking on the food and health claims employees see online, and how to evaluate them. Specific guidance on the topics employees actually ask about, including gut health, energy, hormones and immunity. A more grown-up internal conversation about wellbeing, one that is not built on fads or moralising.

Why organisations work with Jessica Ennis-Hill Her experience of performing as the public face of a home Olympics – carrying national expectation while managing injury recovery and a multi-discipline competition – gives leaders a concrete, pressure-tested model of composure under scrutiny that no training programme replicates. As founder of Jennis, she has applied elite athletic methodology to a commercial problem – closing the gender data gap in sport and exercise science – giving her credibility in conversations about evidence-based decision-making and innovation, not just personal achievement. Her perspective on women’s health and female performance, backed by clinical collaboration with physiologist Dr Emma Ross and a funded femtech business, adds substance to DEI and wellbeing conversations that goes well beyond lived experience. She has maintained a high-profile public platform post-retirement – BBC lead analyst across four Olympic cycles, Times columnist, podcast host – which means audiences arrive with recognition and trust already established. Her career narrative – career-threatening injury before Beijing 2008, gold in London 2012, return from maternity leave to World Championship gold in 2015 – gives her a specific, sequenced story about recovery and reinvention that senior leaders find directly applicable to organisational context. Biography highlights Olympic heptathlon gold medallist, London 2012; silver medallist, Rio 2016; three-time World Heptathlon Champion; European Champion; World Indoor Pentathlon Champion Appointed DBE in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to athletics BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award, 2017 – second woman and first British woman to receive the award Founder of Jennis, a femtech platform using CycleMapping technology developed with women’s health physiologist Dr Emma Ross; raised £1M in pre-seed funding, 2021 Regular BBC athletics analyst: Olympic Games 2020 and 2024, World Athletics Championships 2019, 2022 and 2023, Commonwealth Games 2018 and 2022 Columnist for The Times; host of Gold Minds podcast (High Performance network); author of autobiography Unbelievable Psychology graduate, University of Sheffield Named in Forbes 30 Most Influential Under 30s in Europe, 2016 Biography Jessica Ennis-Hill won Olympic heptathlon gold at London 2012 as the publicly designated face of the Games – carrying a level of expectation that few athletes at any level have been asked to manage. That she delivered one of the most complete performances in the event’s history, having missed the Beijing Games entirely through injury four years earlier, is the foundation of everything she brings to a business audience. The comeback from a career-threatening stress fracture, the return from maternity leave to win the World Championship in Beijing in 2015, and the silver medal in Rio in 2016 give her career a specific structure – repeated reinvention under constraint – that organisations find more useful than a single triumph. The discipline behind those performances: meticulous preparation, managing uncertainty, performing at the moment that matters, is the substance of her speaking work. Post-retirement, she has built a second career with genuine intellectual weight. As founder of Jennis, she identified a specific commercial and scientific gap – most sport and exercise research is conducted on male subjects, leaving women without evidence-based training guidance – and built a femtech business to address it, in clinical partnership with physiologist Dr Emma Ross and backed by institutional investment. That work sits inside a broader argument about female performance and health that she has developed as a BBC analyst, Times columnist, and podcast host. For organisations, she represents something specific: a high-performer who has tested the connection between preparation, recovery, and execution across multiple high-stakes moments, and who has since applied that understanding to build a credible entrepreneurial venture.

Why organisations work with Jodie Kidd A recognisable on-camera presenter with two decades of live broadcast experience, including Channel 5’s The Classic Car Show and ITV’s coverage of the Isle of Man TT, equally at home with a live audience and a camera. Genuine credibility in automotive, motorsport and lifestyle briefs: a former Maserati Trofeo Series driver, Mille Miglia competitor, and Top Gear “Star in a Reasonably Priced Car” series leader. An operating entrepreneur, not a name on a brand. Owner since 2017 of The Half Moon in Kirdford, an AA 2-Rosette gastropub featured at Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park; co-owner of beauty brand Skin & Tonic. A reinvention story with substance behind it: Vogue covers and the McQueen debut runway, then a Maserati seat, then a working pub through the post-pandemic hospitality squeeze. Useful when a brief calls for a panel voice on backing yourself outside a single career lane. Polished, warm, unflappable on stage. The kind of host clients rebook for the second year because the first one ran on time. Biography highlights International fashion model from age 15. Vogue covers, opened for John Galliano, walked Givenchy and Alexander McQueen’s debut runway show. Maserati Trofeo Series racing driver. Competed in the Mille Miglia for Jaguar. Top Gear “Star in a Reasonably Priced Car”: topped the leader board across an entire series, becoming a long-running Top Gear reference point. Co-presenter, Channel 5’s The Classic Car Show, and ITV’s coverage of the Isle of Man TT. Strictly Come Dancing (BBC One, 2008) and Celebrity MasterChef finalist. Owner since 2017 of The Half Moon, Kirdford, a Grade II listed gastropub holding AA 2 Rosettes four years running and featured at Pub in the Park from 2019 to 2022. Author of Balance Your Life (2019); co-owner of beauty brand Skin & Tonic; host of YouTube automotive channel Kidd in a Sweet Shop. Biography Television careers built on a single specialism are easier to write about than ones built across several. Jodie Kidd has covered fashion, motorsport, lifestyle and food on BBC, ITV and Channel 5 over more than two decades, and the through-line is the live work: a host who can carry an awards room, a paddock interview, a cookery final or a panel on hospitality. The starting point was modelling. Discovered at 15, she was on the cover of British Vogue at 17, opened shows for John Galliano and walked Alexander McQueen’s debut runway. The pivot into broadcast came through cars. She raced in the Maserati Trofeo Series, competed in the Mille Miglia for Jaguar, and topped the Top Gear leader board for an entire series, which translated into long-running automotive presenting on Channel 5’s The Classic Car Show and ITV’s Isle of Man TT coverage. In 2017 she took on The Half Moon in Kirdford with two business partners, learning the gastropub business from the kitchen out. The pub holds AA 2 Rosettes four years running and has appeared at Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park. She co-owns the beauty brand Skin & Tonic and wrote Balance Your Life, a six-week diet and exercise book published in 2019. For event organisers, the value is straightforward. A senior buyer hiring Kidd is hiring an experienced live broadcaster with genuine subject footing in automotive, lifestyle and small-business hospitality, and a calm hand on a long evening. She works as host, awards presenter, panel moderator and panellist, and as a speaker on her own reinvention across fashion, motorsport and entrepreneurship.

Why organisations work with John Mackey He took one Austin store to 540 locations and $22B in annual sales over four decades, so his account of stakeholder strategy is operating evidence, not theory. He co-authored the book, Conscious Capitalism (HBR Press, 2013), that gave the stakeholder argument its working vocabulary inside boardrooms and business schools. Few founders have lived the full arc he describes: IPO, activist investor pressure, a $13.7B sale to Amazon, and a second venture built on the same philosophy. His Love.Life venture applies the same conscious-business model to preventative healthcare, giving audiences a current case in a different sector. He speaks to capitalism’s critics from inside the system, useful for boards under pressure on purpose, ESG credibility and the social licence to operate. Biography highlights Co-founded Whole Foods Market in 1978; served as CEO until September 2022, growing the business to 540 stores in the US, UK and Canada and over $22B in annual sales. Co-author of Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business (Harvard Business Review Press, 2013), New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller. Author of Conscious Leadership: Elevating Humanity Through Business (2020) and the memoir The Whole Story: Adventures in Love, Life, and Capitalism (2024). Co-founder and CEO of Love.Life, an integrated preventative healthcare and wellness venture, with its flagship centre in El Segundo, California. Inducted into the World Retail Congress Hall of Fame (2022); recognised by Fortune as one of the “World’s 50 Greatest Leaders” and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year US Overall Winner. Board roles include Conscious Capitalism Inc., The Motley Fool, Cato Institute, Institute for Cultural Evolution and Students for Liberty. Biography Whole Foods Market began in 1978 as a single store on a side street in Austin, Texas. Forty-four years later, when John Mackey stepped down as CEO, it had 540 stores, 105,000 team members and $22 billion in annual sales. That trajectory is the spine of his authority on stakeholder capitalism. The argument he co-built around it became Conscious Capitalism (Harvard Business Review Press, 2013), a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller co-authored with Raj Sisodia. The book set out four operating tenets, higher purpose, stakeholder integration, conscious leadership, conscious culture, that boards and business schools now use as a working vocabulary for purpose-led business. Mackey has also lived the harder parts of the case. He took Whole Foods through an IPO, public clashes with critics on both left and right, sustained activist investor pressure from Jana Partners, and the $13.7 billion sale to Amazon in 2017. His 2024 memoir The Whole Story sets out what those moments cost and what they confirmed. He now runs Love.Life, a preventative healthcare and wellness company he co-founded with former Whole Foods executives, applying the same conscious-business model to a sector he argues is structurally set up to manage disease rather than prevent it. The work positions him as a serious voice on stakeholder strategy, board-level purpose, and the next test of conscious capitalism in healthcare. Key speaking topics Conscious Capitalism and stakeholder strategy Founder-led growth and scaling a category-defining business Purpose, culture and the operating model behind them Leadership through activist pressure, acquisition and succession Preventative healthcare and the future of wellness Higher-purpose leadership at board level Entrepreneurship and long-horizon company building Ideal for Boards and CEOs reframing purpose as an operating model rather than a communications layer Founders and senior leaders scaling mission-led businesses through institutional capital and public-market pressure Retail, consumer, grocery and health sector leadership teams Conferences on capitalism, ESG credibility and the social licence to operate Audience outcomes A working account of how stakeholder strategy held together through four decades of growth, IPO, activism and acquisition The four-tenet architecture of Conscious Capitalism applied to current board and executive decisions A founder’s view of when to fight activist investors and when to sell A live case on building a second purpose-led business, this time in healthcare Sharper language for explaining purpose to investors, employees and customers without losing credibility on either side

Why organisations work with Julie Gautier A first-hand discipline of working under physiological pressure that few keynote speakers can credibly claim. Two French records in constant weight freediving, minus 68 metres on a single breath, are evidence of a practice, not an anecdote. A creative body of work that translates the discipline into something an audience can feel. Ama, shot in a single breath in the world’s deepest pool, has reached a wide international audience and has become a reference point for how breath, focus and stillness are cultivated. Direct relevance to leadership audiences asking how to stay composed under public scrutiny, scrutiny markets, board pressure or crisis. The mechanism she describes is concrete: how the breath is trained, how attention is held, how panic is metabolised before it becomes decision. A second register of value for organisations working on creativity, environmental purpose, or the relationship between people and the natural world. Her films sit inside that conversation rather than next to it. Biography highlights Two French records in constant weight freediving, minus 65 metres (2006) and minus 68 metres (2007). Co-founder of Les Films Engloutis, the production label behind her underwater work. Writer and director of Ama, performed in a single breath in the Y-40 deep pool, Italy. Co-director and writer of the underwater music video for Beyoncé and Naughty Boy’s “Runnin’ (Lose It All)” (2015). Director of One Breath Around the World, featured in National Geographic’s Short Film Showcase. TEDxLausanneWomen speaker, December 2019, “Inspiration in the Absence of Breath”. Biography Holding the breath is a trained skill, not a held-back reflex. Gautier worked on it for nine years as a competitive freediver, including two French national records in constant weight, before stepping out of the sport in 2009. The discipline she learned, working with the breath rather than against it, is the substance she now brings to leadership audiences. Her second career has been as a director and performer in underwater cinema. With Guillaume Néry, she co-founded Les Films Engloutis, the label behind films including Narcose, Ocean Gravity and One Breath Around the World, the last of which was carried by National Geographic’s Short Film Showcase. She also co-directed and wrote the underwater music video for Beyoncé and Naughty Boy’s “Runnin’ (Lose It All)”. Ama, released on International Women’s Day in 2018, is the work that brought the practice into the cultural conversation. It is a single-breath performance in the Y-40 deep pool in Italy, choreographed and performed by Gautier herself. It has been read as a piece on grief, on women’s resilience, on the management of pressure, on the value of stillness. It is not a metaphor for any of those things. It is the discipline made visible. For a corporate audience, the relevance is direct. Senior leaders are working in conditions where composure has become a performance variable. Gautier’s contribution is not motivational language. It is a description of how a person who has practised breath and attention under real physiological constraint actually does it, and what transfers when the audience walks out of the room. Key speaking topics Breath, focus and composure under pressure Self-leadership and emotional regulation Creativity drawn from natural environments Personal discipline and long-form practice Ocean storytelling and environmental purpose Ideal for Senior leadership offsites where composure under public pressure is a stated theme Cultural and inspirational segments of conferences for boards, executive committees and partner audiences Wellbeing, performance and people-function summits looking for substantive content on breath and attention Brand, creative and sustainability events where ocean storytelling has natural anchor Audience outcomes A concrete account of how breath is trained as a tool for focus, not as a wellness motif A vocabulary for talking about composure as a learned practice rather than a personal trait Visual material, drawn from her films, that audiences continue to discuss after the session A working frame for how stillness, patience and humility translate into professional performance
