Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Fleur East – Presenter, Singer, Dancer, Writer & Fitness Expert Fleur has established herself as one of the UK’s most respected and likeable broadcasters, particularly as host of Hits Radio’s nationwide Breakfast show and Strictly Come Dancing spin off show, Strictly: It Takes Two on BBC Two. Fleur has appeared in some of the UK’s most beloved family TV programs starting with her successful turn in ITV’s X Factor 2014, where she became the first act to top the UK chart during the competition with her cover of ‘Uptown Funk.’ In 2018, Fleur made it to the final four of ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here’ and since 2019, has appeared as a series presenter on ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’ for ITV One.

Fleur is also a talented actress who has appeared in Apple TV drama, Ted Lasso and is performing the role of Miss Meesha in CBBC drama, Phoenix Rise which airs May 2024. Fleur launched a haircare business with her sister ‘Kurl Kitchen’ in 2024 – based on the challenges that they faced with their hair growing up and how they have come to fully embrace their natural curls.

Why organisations work with Andy Ayim He works with leadership teams where the brief is not a keynote but a measurable shift in how the team makes decisions, handles conflict and holds each other to account. His track record sits on both sides of the table: senior product roles at WorldFirst and Zilch, then Managing Director at Backstage Capital running accelerators on three continents. He has been the executive being coached and the investor pushing portfolio leaders to grow. His MBE, awarded in 2020 for services to diversity in the technology industry, signals a substantive record on inclusion rather than a stated commitment. Clients booking inclusive-leadership work get an external voice the room cannot dismiss as marketing. Through the Angel Investing School he has trained over a thousand new investors and built the curriculum used by 100 senior Google executives who went on to raise a $70m fund. He brings that operator’s view of capital, ownership and opportunity into corporate rooms that rarely hear it. Biography highlights MBE for services to diversity in the technology industry, awarded 2020 (London Gazette, Issue 63135). Founder of the Angel Investing School, which has trained 1,000+ new angel investors and produced the Open Angel platform. Former Managing Director at Backstage Capital, helping run accelerator programmes in Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and London. Senior product roles at WorldFirst (acquired by Ant Financial for $700m) and Series C fintech Zilch. Trained 100 senior Black executives at Google who formed the Black Angel Group and raised a $70m fund. Named in the Financial Times Top 10 Most Influential BAME Leaders in Tech; HSBC and UK Black Business Show Top 25 Black Entrepreneurs to Watch. Opened the Venture programme at SXSW London 2026 (Christ Church Spitalfields). Biography Most senior teams are not short of intelligence or ambition. They are short of safety. People hold back the disagreement, the bad news, the half-formed idea that might change the decision. Andy Ayim’s work begins there. He is hired by leaders at Google, Stripe, Uber, Diageo, Novartis and Tesco to do the harder thing: change how a team behaves with each other in the room. His authority is built on doing the job, not describing it. He held senior product roles at WorldFirst before its $700m acquisition by Ant Financial, then at Series C fintech Zilch. In 2018 he joined Arlan Hamilton as Managing Director at Backstage Capital, designing accelerator programmes for underrepresented founders in Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and London. The pattern is consistent: operator credibility first, advisor work second. The inclusion record is documented. He was appointed MBE in 2020 for services to diversity in the technology industry, gazetted by the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood. In the same year he founded the Angel Investing School, which has since trained over a thousand new angel investors and built the curriculum that produced the Black Angel Group, 100 senior Google executives who went on to raise a $70m fund. What that means for a client is straightforward. When Ayim walks into a leadership offsite, he is not a consultant translating a theory. He is a former executive and active investor who has seen the same trust and capital problems from inside companies, inside portfolios and inside an honours system that has recognised the work. Key speaking topics Human-centred leadership Inclusive leadership and team performance Psychological safety in senior teams Diversity and inclusion in technology Angel investing and ownership Future of work and hybrid team design Talent and the next generation of leaders Ideal for CHROs and Chief People Officers commissioning inclusive-leadership and culture work for senior populations. ExCo and board offsites where the brief is honest conversation, trust and decision quality, not a standard keynote. Heads of Diversity and Inclusion looking for an external voice with a credentialled record rather than a generic DEI speaker. Investor and founder audiences inside corporate venture, accelerators and innovation functions. Audience outcomes A clearer picture of the specific behaviours that produce psychological safety in senior teams, and the ones that quietly destroy it. Language for naming the inclusion problems leaders are nervous to name, with examples drawn from operator and investor experience. A view of inclusion as a leadership capability tied to performance, not a compliance function bolted onto HR. An informed perspective on angel investing, ownership and wealth creation for audiences that rarely get it from a credible practitioner.

Why organisations work with Catherine Tyldesley A familiar face from prime-time British television, with seven years as Eva Price in Coronation Street and a Strictly Come Dancing run that gives her instant recognition with mass-market audiences. Comfortable carrying a live audience, drawn from arena work on the Strictly Come Dancing Tour, presenting on Lorraine, and winning All Star Musicals at Christmas in 2021. A documented personal weight loss and wellness journey, including a 12-week Ultimate Performance transformation, that gives her credible first-person material on body image, food and physical health. Speaks openly about the tension between career, motherhood and self-care, which lands directly with employee audiences for International Women’s Day, family policy and wellbeing programming. Booked equally for hosting, awards and moderation work, where the value is poise on stage and rapport with a room rather than subject-matter expertise. Biography highlights Played Eva Price in ITV’s Coronation Street from 2011 to 2018, with a return to the role confirmed for 2025. First leading role as Iris Moss in the BBC One period drama Lilies (2007), written by Heidi Thomas. Lead role as Karen Norris in the BBC One sitcom Scarborough (2019), created by Derren Litten. Cast member of Strictly Come Dancing series 17 (2019), followed by the arena tour. Other television work includes 15 Days (Channel 5), Viewpoint (ITV), McDonald and Dodds (ITV), A Good Ship Murder (Channel 5) and Cooking with the Stars (ITV1). Winner of All Star Musicals at Christmas (ITV1, 2021), and released her debut studio album, Rise, in 2016. Biography Coronation Street ran in 24 million homes a week at its peak in the years Catherine Tyldesley was playing Eva Price. She held the role from 2011 to 2018, returning in 2025 as the new landlady of the Rovers Return. That long run on prime-time ITV is what gives her the audience recognition that corporate event teams hire her for. Her acting work sits across several formats. Lilies, the 2007 BBC One period drama written by Heidi Thomas, gave her a first leading role as Iris Moss. She went on to play Karen Norris in the BBC One sitcom Scarborough, and has taken roles in 15 Days on Channel 5, Viewpoint and McDonald and Dodds on ITV, and the Channel 5 thriller A Good Ship Murder. Strictly Come Dancing series 17 and the subsequent arena tour added a live-performance dimension to her public profile. Outside drama, she works as a presenter, host and panellist across cooking, lifestyle and entertainment formats. She won All Star Musicals at Christmas in 2021, presents food segments on Lorraine, and has appeared on Cooking with the Stars and a range of ITV game and panel shows. Brand partnerships across Tesco, Matalan, Vodafone, Fairy, Symprove and others sit alongside the on-screen work. Her wellness platform comes from her own story. She has spoken openly about weighing close to 15 stone as a teenager and changing her relationship with food, exercise and body image over many years, including a 12-week transformation with Ultimate Performance in 2019. That material, alongside her experience of motherhood, IBS, and the practical demands of working in television, is what she draws on when she speaks at corporate events on wellbeing, balance and confidence. Key speaking topics Health and wellbeing Body image and confidence Balancing career and family Mental health and personal resilience Women in the public eye Event hosting and moderating Ideal for Internal employee events for International Women’s Day, family policy and wellbeing weeks Awards ceremonies, gala dinners and conference hosting where audience recognition matters Health, lifestyle and consumer brand events looking for a recognisable presenter Customer-facing experiences where warmth and on-stage poise carry the room Audience outcomes A relatable, first-person account of long-term weight management, body image and changing relationship with food. Honest reflection on the pressures of working in television while raising young children. Reassurance for employee audiences that wellbeing struggles sit alongside successful careers. A confident host or moderator presence that holds a room of non-specialist guests.

Why organisations work with Eric M. Bailey He turns cognitive neuroscience into 22 named tools managers can use the next morning, not a worldview to adopt over time. The methodology is called the Principles of Human Understanding. His client list spans Google, the US Air Force, Los Angeles County, and the Phoenix Police Department. Few communication speakers translate across that range of cultures. The Cure for Stupidity gives an organisation a shared vocabulary for irrational workplace behaviour. Once a team has read it, conflict conversations get shorter. He works the room across analytical and emotional registers. Engineering audiences and frontline service teams both come away with the same takeaways, which is rare. Biography highlights President of Bailey Strategic Innovation Group, a communication and organisational development consultancy. Bestselling author of The Cure for Stupidity: Using Brain Science to Explain Irrational Behavior at Work. Creator of the Principles of Human Understanding methodology, used in keynote, facilitation, and coaching engagements. Master’s in Leadership and Organizational Development, Saint Louis University. Client work with Google, US Air Force, Los Angeles County, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, City of Phoenix, Phoenix Police Department. Media features on CNN, Forbes, and HuffPost. Speaker on the Workhuman Live conference programme. Biography Most conflict at work is not about the issue on the table. It is about two people running different software on the same conversation. Bailey has built a career mapping that mismatch and giving leaders a way to talk about it without making anyone feel stupid. His book The Cure for Stupidity: Using Brain Science to Explain Irrational Behavior at Work sets out the argument. Irrational behaviour is usually rational once you understand what the brain is protecting against. The book seeded a methodology, the Principles of Human Understanding, which now anchors his keynote and consulting work through Bailey Strategic Innovation Group. The client list is the proof. Google, the US Air Force, Los Angeles County, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, the City of Phoenix, and the Phoenix Police Department have all brought him in. These are organisations with very different tolerance for soft language, which forces the material to do real work. The Master’s from Saint Louis University in Leadership and Organizational Development is the academic underpinning. The 22 tools are what audiences actually leave with. What sets Bailey apart from other neuroscience-of-work voices is that he writes for the manager who has eleven things to do today, not for the reader who wants a theory of mind. The framework is built to be used inside a difficult conversation, not admired from a distance. Key speaking topics Brain science of workplace communication Generational dynamics and intergenerational friction Diversity, equity and inclusion under contested conditions Change management and the neuroscience of resistance Team trust and functional team design Leadership development for first-line and mid-level managers Ideal for CHROs and people leaders dealing with persistent team conflict and engagement decay Heads of L&D commissioning manager development at scale DEI leads who need a frame for inclusion that lands with sceptical audiences Public sector and uniformed leadership teams (law enforcement, military, municipal government) needing communication training that travels across rank Audience outcomes A shared vocabulary for naming the cognitive patterns that drive workplace friction Specific tools, drawn from the Principles of Human Understanding, that can be used in a difficult conversation the same week A reframe of irrational behaviour as predictable, not personal, which lowers the temperature of recurring conflicts A working model for how the brain interprets change, status, and difference, applied to current team dynamics

Why organisations work with Anita Jones A live-broadcast presenter who hosts boardroom and large-audience corporate events with the pacing and composure of a Champions League studio. Bilingual English and Spanish presenting capability for international events, conferences and panel sessions, including interviews at the level of Lionel Messi and Jude Bellingham. A named, parliamentary-level voice on endometriosis as an Endometriosis UK ambassador, giving women’s health an editorial weight beyond a wellness slot. A British-Nigerian broadcaster credible on representation in sport and media without retreating into generic DEI framing. Biography highlights Presenter, CBS Champions League and CBS Golazo. Reporter, Premier League Productions, reporting weekly from clubs across England. Sky Sports broadcaster; earlier roles with BBC, Channel 4, and Arsenal Nation Live. First-class degree in European Studies, King’s College London; fluent in Spanish and English. Has covered the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the Women’s World Cup, and the Women’s Champions League. Ambassador for Endometriosis UK; has spoken in Parliament on endometriosis, including for Endometriosis Action Month. Biography Live football broadcasting is unforgiving. A presenter has to carry a Champions League studio, hold the line in a noisy stadium tunnel, and translate a Messi or Bellingham answer on the fly. That is the working environment behind Anita Jones’s day job at CBS Champions League, CBS Golazo, Sky Sports and Premier League Productions. The route in was journalistic rather than celebrity. A first-class degree in European Studies from King’s College London, then early reporting and presenting roles at the BBC, Channel 4 and Arsenal Nation Live, before the move into Premier League Productions and CBS. Bilingual English and Spanish broadcasting has been a consistent edge across the work, particularly around major tournaments including the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the Women’s World Cup and the Women’s Champions League. The hosting craft transfers cleanly to corporate stages. Jones works as an event host, moderator and panel chair, with the pace and authority of a live broadcast rather than the cadence of a guest speaker. Briefs that require multilingual delivery, sports tie-ins, or a presenter who can carry a high-profile interview in front of a senior internal audience all sit naturally inside her week. The second strand of her public work is women’s health. Diagnosed with endometriosis in 2018 after a laparoscopy, Jones became an ambassador for Endometriosis UK and has used her broadcast profile to put the condition on the record, including in Parliament during Endometriosis Action Month. For employers looking to treat women’s health as an operating issue rather than a wellness panel, that lived and named platform is what she adds. Key speaking topics Event hosting and live moderation Panel chairing for international and bilingual audiences Sports broadcasting and media Women in sports media Endometriosis and women’s workplace health Representation and diversity in sport Ideal for Corporate conferences and annual events looking for a host or MC with live-broadcast pacing International and bilingual English and Spanish audiences, particularly in sport, sponsorship and brand activation Employee network and ERG events on women’s health, with a focus on endometriosis Sports industry, sponsor and federation events requiring an experienced football moderator Audience outcomes A professionally paced event with clear handovers, sharp interviewing and confident audience handling. A concrete picture of how endometriosis presents in working life and what better workplace support actually looks like. A first-hand view of how representation in sports media has shifted, and what it took to move from a regional reporter role to a Champions League studio. For bilingual audiences, an event delivered with equal fluency in English and Spanish rather than translated through a second voice.

Why organisations work with Karen Carney She chaired the UK Government’s Independent Review into Women’s Football, a policy artefact whose recommendations were accepted by Government and now sit behind professionalisation standards across the WSL and Women’s Championship. That is named institutional credibility, not generalised sport authority. She speaks from 144 international caps and a 14-year career across Arsenal, Birmingham City, Chicago Red Stars and Chelsea, which gives her the right to talk about composure, recovery and team alignment with leaders who have heard the sport-to-business analogy too many times. She has worked publicly through depression, online abuse and the consequences of injury, which gives the mental health and resilience content specific personal reference points rather than generic advocacy. As lead female analyst across Sky Sports, ITV and TNT Sports, she is rehearsed in live communication under scrutiny, which is a useful asset for a moderator or panel chair as well as a keynote. Biography highlights 144 England caps, third-most capped Lioness; four FIFA Women’s World Cups and four UEFA Women’s Championships. Olympian, Team GB, London 2012. Chair, Future of Women’s Football Review for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, 2022 to 2023; recommendations accepted by Government. MBE 2017 for services to football; OBE 2024 King’s Birthday Honours for services to association football. Inductee, National Football Museum Hall of Fame, 2021. Lead female football analyst, Sky Sports, ITV and TNT Sports; winner, Strictly Come Dancing 2025. Biography Most organisations talk about high performance and mean motivation. Elite sport means something more specific: a set of daily operating habits that hold up when the team is tired, beaten, or in public view. Karen Carney spent 14 years inside those habits at the top of international football and has spent the years since explaining what they actually consist of. She earned 144 caps for England between 2005 and 2019, making her the third-most capped Lioness of all time, with appearances at four World Cups, four European Championships and the London 2012 Olympics. Her club career took her through Arsenal’s 2006 to 2007 quadruple-winning side, Birmingham City, Chicago Red Stars and a Chelsea captaincy that ended in an FA Women’s Cup win. The work that has done most to shape her current credibility is the Future of Women’s Football Review, which she chaired for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Published in July 2023, the review set out professionalisation standards for the Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship, covering minimum operating conditions, mental and physical health provision, parental care and transition support. The Government accepted the recommendations and announced a 30 million pound investment to follow. She works the same material as a broadcaster. As lead female football analyst across Sky Sports, ITV and TNT Sports, she is on screen weekly through Premier League, WSL and major tournament coverage; in late 2025 she won Strictly Come Dancing, becoming the first footballer to do so. Her honours, MBE in 2017 and OBE in 2024, sit alongside induction to the National Football Museum Hall of Fame. Key speaking topics High-performance culture in elite sport and its operating analogues in business Leadership under public scrutiny Mental health and recovery in performance environments Inclusion and the commercial case for women’s sport Governance and professionalisation of women’s football Team alignment under fatigue and setback Ideal for Executive teams and boards working through cultural change, performance reset or post-restructure alignment HR, talent and DEI leaders building substantive inclusion strategy rather than messaging Sport, media, sponsorship and consumer brands engaging with the commercial growth of women’s sport Conference moderation and panel chairing where live broadcast discipline is an asset Audience outcomes A concrete picture of what elite-sport operating discipline looks like day to day, not as metaphor Language for talking about mental health and recovery in performance environments without slipping into wellness generalities A clearer read of the commercial and governance trajectory of women’s sport, drawn from her own review work A sharper view of how senior leaders hold composure when results, scrutiny or fatigue are working against them

Why organisations work with Ritula Shah Fifteen years anchoring BBC Radio 4’s The World Tonight gives her the editorial reflexes to keep a senior panel honest under time pressure, on the record, without losing the audience. A working seat on the RUSI Advisory Board means she walks into defence, security and geopolitics briefings already inside the conversation, not learning it from a brief. Reporting experience from Guantanamo Bay, China, India, Brazil and Jordan gives her first-hand reference points when a panel drifts into abstraction on foreign policy or human rights. She is one of a small number of UK broadcasters trusted by ministers, regulators and dissenting voices to chair a discussion that needs to be both serious and broadcast-quality. Her ambassadorial work with the British Asian Trust and trusteeship of INIVA make her a credible host for organisations who want representation handled without performance. Biography highlights Lead presenter, The World Tonight, BBC Radio 4 (15 years, to 2023). Former presenter, The Real Story (BBC World Service), Woman’s Hour, The World Today, One to One. Current weekday-evening presenter, Calm Classics, Classic FM. Advisory Board member, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). Ambassador, British Asian Trust; trustee, INIVA. Honorary Doctor of Letters, University of Warwick (2019). Biography The World Tonight is the BBC Radio 4 programme senior leaders, diplomats and ministers tend to listen to on the drive home. Ritula Shah presented it for fifteen years. That fact alone places her in a small group of UK broadcasters who have spent a working career interrogating finance ministers, foreign secretaries, sanctioned oligarchs, generals and dissidents on the record, in real time, with no second take. The geographical footprint matters here. She has reported from Guantanamo Bay, China, India, Brazil, Jordan, Finland and Germany, and covered the Soviet collapse, 9/11 from New York, multiple US and UK elections and the slow grind of Brexit. When a panel on supply chains, sanctions or political risk drifts into theory, she pulls it back to a place she has actually been. The think-tank work is not decorative. Shah sits on the Advisory Board of RUSI, the world’s oldest defence and security institute, which means she chairs geopolitics and security sessions already inside the institutional conversation rather than reading in. She is also an ambassador for the British Asian Trust, a trustee of INIVA, and an honorary Doctor of Letters of the University of Warwick. For organisations, the practical offer is rarer than a keynote. She is a broadcaster who can take a sensitive board conversation, a regulator panel, a closed-room briefing on China exposure or a high-profile awards ceremony, and run it at the standard of a Radio 4 broadcast. The room hears something true, the recording is usable, and the senior speakers do not feel ambushed. Key speaking topics Geopolitics and the multipolar world International affairs and foreign policy Defence and national security News literacy and trust in media Inclusion, identity and belonging in public life Conference, panel and awards moderation Board-level event chairing Ideal for Boards and executive committees commissioning a geopolitical, sanctions or China-exposure session Defence, security, foreign policy and policy-research convenings Awards ceremonies and flagship annual conferences requiring a broadcast-grade host Regulators, professional bodies and universities running on-the-record panels with public figures Audience outcomes A clearer mental map of where the multipolar world is actually moving, beyond headline framing Better-quality contributions from senior panellists, because the questions are sharper and the chairing is firmer A working sense of how to read news critically in an environment of declining trust and rising misinformation Confidence that a difficult conversation, on geopolitics, identity or institutional reform, can be held in public without becoming theatre

Why organisations work with Andrew Brodsky He gives leadership teams a named, research-backed framework, PING (Perspective-taking, Initiative, Non-verbal cues, Goals), that turns ad hoc virtual habits into a deliberate operating practice. His evidence is original, not aggregated: peer-reviewed studies in the Journal of Applied Psychology and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin on how channel choice changes what gets said, heard and believed. He answers a question most consultants avoid: when is audio better than video, when does email outperform a meeting, and what does that mean for managers who default to whatever is easiest. His client roster includes Dell Technologies, PwC, Amazon and Novo Nordisk, which means the work has been pressure-tested inside organisations running global hybrid operations. The book Ping, published by Simon & Schuster and Penguin, has been endorsed by Adam Grant and Katy Milkman, placing his work alongside the leading voices in applied behavioural science. Biography highlights Management professor, McCombs School of Business, The University of Texas at Austin PhD in Organizational Behavior, Harvard Business School; BS, The Wharton School Author, Ping: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication (Simon & Schuster, Penguin, 2025) CEO and founder, Ping Group Named one of the world’s Best 40-Under-40 MBA Professors by Poets&Quants Research published in the Journal of Applied Psychology and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin; commentary in The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, The Economist, CNBC, The New York Times and TIME Biography Hybrid work settled the location question and left a harder one open. Inside most companies, the decision about which channel to use for which conversation is still made by habit. The cost is measurable: slower decisions, weaker trust, meetings that exist to compensate for messages that should never have been sent. Brodsky has built a research programme around that gap. His peer-reviewed work in the Journal of Applied Psychology and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin examines the operating consequences of specific channel choices, from how email shapes emotional authenticity to why audio-only calls often outperform video. The findings are precise enough to act on, which is unusual in a field crowded with generalities about remote work. The book Ping, published by Simon & Schuster and Penguin in 2025, consolidates that research into a four-part framework used inside teams at Dell Technologies, PwC, Amazon and Novo Nordisk. Adam Grant and Katy Milkman have endorsed the work, and HBR IdeaCast featured the argument as a guide for leaders auditing their own virtual practices. His credibility rests on a clear point: virtual communication is now an executive skill, not a logistics question. Boards and senior teams that treat it as the latter pay the cost in performance. Key speaking topics Virtual and hybrid communication strategy Channel choice and operating performance Leadership in distributed teams Trust and authenticity in digital workplaces Conflict reduction across asynchronous communication AI in workplace communication Inclusion in remote and hybrid settings Ideal for CHROs and heads of people redesigning hybrid operating models Executive teams auditing the performance cost of their meeting and communication habits Transformation and digital workplace leads setting team-level communication norms Senior leadership offsites focused on trust, decision speed and team effectiveness Audience outcomes A working framework for matching communication channel to task, with named criteria Specific research findings on when email, audio, video and instant message each outperform the alternatives A clear view of how leadership behaviour in virtual channels shapes trust and response patterns across teams Practical guidance on reducing conflict and misinterpretation in asynchronous communication A defensible position on AI-assisted interpersonal communication and the trust consequences of getting it wrong

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 Tim Campbell A founder’s view of what early-stage capital, mentoring and access actually do for people who do not start with networks, drawn from supporting more than 750 start-ups through the Bright Ideas Trust A senior commercial perspective on inclusion that connects diversity to talent acquisition and business outcomes, informed by his strategic adviser work in global recruitment Public recognition that opens doors at executive and audience level: MBE for Services to Enterprise Culture, two decades of broadcast presence on The Apprentice, and a seat on the Windrush Commemoration Committee A practitioner’s read on what makes a small business survive its first three years, codified in his co-authored book with Paul Humphries published by Headline Biography highlights Winner of the first series of BBC’s The Apprentice in 2005, hired by Sir Alan Sugar as Project Director of Amstrad’s Health and Beauty division Co-founder of the Bright Ideas Trust, which raised over GBP 3m and supported more than 750 start-ups from disadvantaged backgrounds Appointed MBE in 2012 for Services to Enterprise Culture Co-author of “What’s Your Bright Idea? The Journey to Starting Your Own Business” (Headline, 2010) Member of the UK Government’s Windrush Commemoration Committee Returned to The Apprentice as Lord Sugar’s permanent advisor from Series 18 onwards Biography The Apprentice in 2005 was the first time most British viewers had watched a hiring decision broadcast as entertainment. Tim Campbell, a senior planner at London Underground, won the series and took the GBP 100,000 job at Amstrad as Project Director of a new Health and Beauty division. The interesting work began two years later. In 2007 Campbell co-founded the Bright Ideas Trust with Paul Humphries and Richard Morris. The model was specific: equity-style early-stage capital and structured mentoring for 16 to 30 year olds who could not raise money through conventional networks. By the time the trust had matured, it had raised more than GBP 3m and supported over 750 start-ups. The work earned an MBE in 2012 for Services to Enterprise Culture and a co-authored book with Humphries, “What’s Your Bright Idea?”, published by Headline. The second arc of his career moved that founder perspective into large organisations. Campbell has held senior roles in talent acquisition and inclusion strategy, advising on diversity, equity and social mobility inside global recruitment, and sits on the UK Government’s Windrush Commemoration Committee. He returned to The Apprentice as Lord Sugar’s aide and now holds the role permanently from Series 18. The throughline is the gap between organisational claims about entrepreneurial culture and inclusion, and what actually happens to people inside the business and outside it. Campbell has worked both sides of that gap, as a founder building a vehicle for capital flow into underrepresented entrepreneurs, and as a senior adviser inside companies that have to decide whether their inclusion language is reflected in who gets hired, funded and promoted. Key speaking topics Entrepreneurship and early-stage business Inclusive talent acquisition and social mobility Resilience in a founder’s career Diversity and inclusion as commercial strategy Leadership through change Personal and organisational reinvention Ideal for Boards and executive teams reviewing the commercial logic of their inclusion strategy CHROs and talent leaders rethinking pipelines into underrepresented communities Founders, scale-up leaders and intrapreneurs inside corporate environments Audiences at staff conferences and ERG events seeking a credible voice on enterprise and inclusion Audience outcomes A clearer view of what early-stage entrepreneurial support looks like when it is built around access, not just funding A practical sense of how diversity commitments translate into hiring, promotion and supplier decisions A founder’s perspective on resilience, drawn from a public career and a charity built and run for over a decade A reframing of inclusion as a commercial discipline tied to talent and growth, not a separate values conversation

Why organisations work with Kailash Satyarthi He is the only living Nobel Peace Laureate whose work targets the exact intersection of supply chain, child labour, and corporate accountability that ESG committees now have to defend. He built GoodWeave, the first voluntary certification system that traced child labour out of the South Asian carpet industry, giving him operational experience of what works and what fails when companies try to clean a supplier base. His 1998 Global March seeded ILO Convention 182, the most ratified convention in the organisation’s history, which means he can speak to the policy frame that regulators and procurement teams now have to align with. Bachpan Bachao Andolan, the movement he founded in 1980, has freed more than 130,000 children in India, giving his arguments the weight of measurable on-the-ground results rather than advocacy alone. He raises the moral altitude of a leadership conversation in a way few speakers can, which is why boards bring him in when they want a corporate purpose programme to feel earned rather than performative. Biography highlights 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded jointly with Malala Yousafzai for the struggle against the suppression of children and the right of every child to education. Founder of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (1980), credited with freeing more than 130,000 children in India from bonded labour, child labour, and trafficking. Founder of GoodWeave International (1994), the first independent certification system for child-labour-free carpets in South Asia. Architect of the 1998 Global March Against Child Labour across 103 countries, whose demands directly shaped ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate; recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award (1995) and the Defenders of Democracy Award (2009). Author of Every Child Matters and Will for Children (Prabhat Prakashan); co-author with the Dalai Lama of The Book of Compassion. Biography In 1980, an electrical engineer in India walked away from his profession to free children locked inside brick kilns, carpet looms, and quarries. The organisation he founded that year, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, has since liberated more than 130,000 children from bonded labour, child labour, and trafficking. Kailash Satyarthi has spent forty-five years turning that work into a system. The system has three layers that matter to corporate audiences. The first is rescue and rehabilitation, run through a network of activists and shelters in India. The second is certification: in 1994 he founded GoodWeave, which built the first credible voluntary label proving that a carpet was made without child labour, an early prototype for the supply chain audit regimes that are now standard in apparel, cocoa, and electronics. The third is policy. The Global March he led in 1998 covered 103 countries and 80,000 kilometres, and its demands fed directly into ILO Convention 182, now the most ratified convention in ILO history. The 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, shared with Malala Yousafzai, gave his argument a global platform. He uses it to press a single point at boards and policy bodies: child labour is not a problem of poor countries, it is a problem of global procurement, and any company with a multi-tier supplier base owns part of it. That framing is uncomfortable for executives who treat human rights as a CSR line item, which is exactly why it lands. His books, Every Child Matters and Will for Children with Prabhat Prakashan, and The Book of Compassion co-authored with the Dalai Lama, sit alongside his role as a UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate. The through-line is consistent: moral authority backed by operational evidence, applied to the supply chains and policy systems that decide whether a child works or goes to school. Key speaking topics Child labour in global supply chains Ethical sourcing and supplier certification Human rights and corporate accountability Education as an economic and rights agenda ESG, purpose, and moral leadership Civil society movements and policy change Ideal for Boards and ESG committees defining human-rights and supply-chain commitments Chief procurement officers and CSR leaders auditing supplier networks Investor groups and policy bodies setting standards on labour and human rights Purpose, values, and culture programmes for global organisations Audience outcomes A clearer view of where child labour actually lives inside multi-tier supplier networks, and what credible mitigation looks like. A working understanding of the certification, audit, and policy levers that have moved the needle, and where they have not. A direct account of how ILO Convention 182 came to exist, and what it now requires of buyers and regulators. The moral and strategic case for treating human rights as a board-level commitment rather than a reporting category.
