Naomi Sesay's 2025 Talks & Topics

Creating a truly diverse workforce is paramount. But, in our current environment change is slow, difficult work. Perhaps, now is the time to think of a smarter way. This thought provoking and inspirational keynote examines how the information we currently possess lock us into unconscious holding patterns. By interrogating our emotional, cultural and neurological habits, Naomi demystifies the sticking point of change, interactively shows examples of palpable connection and moves us into a new place of diverse thought and action.

Is it possible to consciously push the dial of change toward diverse and inclusive leadership? Only if we understand the dial we push. This interactive talk reveals the powerful tools that leaders in the D&I space will need in order to make their teams and organisations effective, agile and precise. . We will examine the nuances of diversity, the importance of thought leadership, and how to utilise cutting-edge scientific theories around ways we can empathetically and powerfully lead a diverse cohort.

As a species, we are narrative beings, hardwired to connect with, learn from and understand the art of storytelling. We instinctively tune into stories that resonate or match our emotional state. Stories entice, enthral, inspire, warn, dictate and command, but the most powerful and universal stories are those which weave a thread of truth. This keynote examines the damaging effects of the stories we tell ourselves whilst re-imagining the art of storytelling, the building blocks of human connection, to explore powerful stories through the lens of Diversity and Inclusion which could change everything.

The Human Upgrade by Naomi Sesay

The Human Upgrade

In the midst of a global economic breakdown, where politicians and economist admittedly have no clue on how to fix it, one wonders where the human being goes from here. It is becoming more and more apparent that we cannot solve a problem from the consciousness in which it was created – we’ve tried, and now we are experiencing the results. In this insightful and profoundly philosophical book, Naomi Sesay pushes the boundaries of who we seem to be, at and ethereal level, to make a case for upgrading our ways of being. The Human Upgrade is a bold statement of self which enlightens the reader towards taking full responsibility for their experiences; thus creating powerful life choices which inevitable have a massive impact on a global scale. The messages in the book are urgent, exhilarating, and inspiring. When the time comes, we will all feel the pull to upgrade ourselves, and life will appear as we’ve never seen it before.
