Employee Wellbeing

Why organisations work with Valentini Konstantinidou A working scientist, not a wellness presenter. Her PhD work on Mediterranean diet and olive oil nutrigenomics is published in peer-reviewed journals including Nutrients, which makes the content defensible inside a medical or HR governance review. She translates nutrigenetics into corporate programme design. DNANUTRICOACH has been doing this commercially in Barcelona since 2015, including for B2B clients, so the operating model is tested. She gives wellbeing teams a way to talk about ESG that is grounded in measurable employee health, not narrative. The connection she draws between Mediterranean diet research, chronic disease prevention and productivity is specific and citable. Trilingual delivery in English, Spanish and Greek, with academic teaching credentials at UOC and TECH in Spain. Useful for multinational employers running pan-European wellbeing programmes. Biography highlights PhD in Biomedicine, Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona (2010); MSc Biomedical Research, Pompeu Fabra (2007); degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, CEU San Pablo University, Madrid (2019). Founder of DNANUTRICOACH, Barcelona (2015), and of the first Nutrigenetic Centre in Athens (2020). Co-author of “Nutritional Genomics and the Mediterranean Diet’s Effects on Human Cardiovascular Health” (Nutrients, 2016). Ambassador, European Lifestyle Medicine Organization. Member, American Society of Nutrition since 2012. Collaborating professor at UOC and TECH universities; university lecturer accreditation by AQU Spain. Author of the first Greek-language book on nutrigenetics for a general audience (2021). Biography Most corporate wellness programmes assume one set of habits will work for an entire workforce. Nutritional genomics has spent two decades disproving that assumption. Valentini Konstantinidou’s research career, from Pompeu Fabra University to her current commercial practice, sits inside that disproof. She completed her PhD in Biomedicine at Pompeu Fabra in 2010, with research on the nutrigenomic effects of virgin olive oil polyphenols within the Mediterranean diet. She added a degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from CEU San Pablo University in Madrid in 2019, which makes her a registered dietitian-nutritionist in Spain as well as a published researcher. Her 2016 paper in Nutrients on Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular health remains one of the cited reference points in the field. In 2015 she founded DNANUTRICOACH in Barcelona, then opened the first Nutrigenetic Centre in Athens in 2020. The business translates genetic test results into specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations. The corporate arm applies the same model to employee wellbeing, designing programmes that connect nutrition science to chronic disease prevention and to ESG reporting on workforce health. For organisations, the practical value is a defensible alternative to generic wellness. Her work gives HR and benefits leaders a way to spend wellbeing budget on interventions with a published evidence base, delivered by a researcher with academic teaching posts at UOC and TECH and ambassador status with the European Lifestyle Medicine Organization. Key speaking topics Precision nutrition and corporate wellbeing Nutritional genomics and nutrigenetics Mediterranean diet and chronic disease prevention Sustainable nutrition in workplace programmes ESG and employee health metrics Behaviour change in dietary habits Extra virgin olive oil and healthy ageing Ideal for CHROs and benefits leaders designing or auditing employee wellbeing programmes ESG and sustainability leads building defensible workforce health metrics Heads of corporate health, occupational health and medical directors in multinational employers Leadership audiences at food, pharmaceutical, insurance and healthcare companies Audience outcomes A working understanding of how nutritional genomics differs from generic wellness advice, and where each is appropriate Specific examples of how Mediterranean diet research links to chronic disease prevention and productivity A framework for connecting employee wellbeing spend to ESG reporting in a way that holds up to scrutiny Practical entry points for piloting precision nutrition inside an existing wellbeing programme

Why organisations work with Lisa Snowdon She has spent two decades in front of national audiences on Capital FM, ITV and Sky, and brings that presence into a room that has never discussed menopause out loud before. Her advocacy is organised, not anecdotal. As a founding voice in Menopause Mandate alongside Davina McCall and Mariella Frostrup, she has helped move menopause from a private health issue into a policy and workforce conversation. Just Getting Started (HarperCollins, 2023) gives the talk a specific evidence base on perimenopause, HRT, and the lived realities of midlife, rather than a generic wellbeing pitch. She makes the topic accessible to mixed audiences, including male senior leaders who may never have heard the word “perimenopause” used in a professional setting. Her fashion correspondent role on This Morning and her We’re Not Getting Any Younger podcast keep her closely connected to how midlife women actually talk about their lives, which informs how she addresses them at work. Biography highlights Fashion correspondent, ITV This Morning. Author, Just Getting Started: Lessons in life, love and menopause, HarperCollins, 2023. Co-presenter, Capital FM Breakfast Show, London, 2008 to 2014. Show won Breakfast Show of the Year at the 2014 Sony Radio Academy Awards. Host, Britain’s Next Top Model, Living TV / Sky, 2006 to 2009. Celebrity MasterChef Champion, BBC, 2022. Founding voice in Menopause Mandate alongside Davina McCall, Mariella Frostrup and MP Carolyn Harris. Biography Most workplaces have a policy on parental leave. Very few have anything coherent on the decade that follows it. Menopause sits in that gap, and it is one of the most consistent reasons women leave senior roles in their late forties and fifties. Snowdon’s contribution is to make that conversation routine rather than uncomfortable. She came to it through her own experience and a national platform. After two decades modelling at the top of the industry, including the Gucci campaigns, she moved into broadcasting, co-hosting Capital FM’s London Breakfast Show for six years and presenting Britain’s Next Top Model on Sky. The Capital show won Breakfast Show of the Year at the 2014 Sony Radio Academy Awards while she was on it. The advocacy work is structured. Just Getting Started (HarperCollins, 2023) sets out what perimenopause actually feels like, what the treatment options are, and where the gaps in clinical and workplace support sit. Through Menopause Mandate, alongside Davina McCall, Mariella Frostrup and MP Carolyn Harris, she has pushed for changes to NHS prescribing, HRT availability and workplace policy. For organisations, the value is specific. Many internal menopause initiatives stall because the topic feels too clinical for HR and too personal for line managers. Snowdon’s sessions move the conversation past that block by giving people permission, vocabulary and a credible voice they recognise from their living rooms. Key speaking topics Menopause in the workplace Midlife women’s health Breaking workplace taboos Confidence and reinvention after forty Women, ageing and visibility Body image and self-image Ideal for HR, DEI and wellbeing leads designing menopause and women’s health policy Leadership audiences where the topic has not yet been opened Internal networks for women in midlife and their allies Industry events seeking a recognisable voice on midlife and longevity Audience outcomes A clear sense of how menopause shows up in performance, retention and engagement data Language that line managers can actually use without embarrassment Familiarity with the current UK policy and clinical landscape, including HRT access Honest, lived perspective from someone who has navigated the transition publicly A starting point for designing or strengthening a menopause-at-work programme

Why organisations work with Laura Whitmore Live-television fluency. Six years fronting Love Island, plus stints on I’m a Celebrity NOW!, This Morning and Celebrity Juice, mean she handles unscripted moments, audience energy and tight cues without visible effort. Journalistic credibility on the topics organisations now have to host. She wrote, presented and associate-produced Laura Whitmore Investigates for ITVX, covering incel culture, rough sex and cyber-stalking in detail. A second register beyond entertainment hosting. The Laura Whitmore Show on BBC Radio 5 Live and her current BBC podcast Murder They Wrote demonstrate she can hold a long-form, substantive conversation, not only a stage handover. Public record on women’s safety and online harm. Her 2018 Huffington Post piece on upskirting and the #MeToo campaign was shared globally, and she went on to support the UK upskirting bill on national television. Range across formats. West End theatre (2:22 A Ghost Story), national radio, ITV documentary and primetime ITV2 hosting; clients booking her for an awards night, an internal town hall and a panel get the same person. Biography highlights Host of ITV2’s Love Island, series 6 to 8 (2020 to 2022). Presenter and associate producer of Laura Whitmore Investigates, ITVX, 2023. Former presenter of The Laura Whitmore Show on BBC Radio 5 Live. West End debut as Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Criterion Theatre, 2022 to 2023. Spent seven years at MTV Europe after winning the network’s Pick Me MTV contest in 2008. Author of No One Can Change Your Life Except For You; viral 2018 Huffington Post piece on upskirting and the #MeToo movement. Biography A live audience reads a host within thirty seconds. Whitmore has stood in front of one almost every working week since 2008, first at MTV Europe, then on ITV’s Love Island, I’m a Celebrity NOW! and Celebrity Juice. The bookable quality is composure on a live mic, not screen credits. Her journalism degree from Dublin City University is doing more work than is typical for a presenter of her profile. She wrote, fronted and associate-produced Laura Whitmore Investigates for ITVX in 2023, a three-part documentary series on incel culture, rough sex and cyber-stalking. The series ran on the back of reported cases of cyber-stalking rising 300 per cent, and she sought therapeutic support during production. That work is a usable credential when a brief asks for serious handling of online harm or violence against women. She has carried similar substance into other formats. The Laura Whitmore Show on BBC Radio 5 Live demonstrated long-form interview range; her 2018 Huffington Post article on upskirting and the #MeToo and #TimesUp campaigns was shared widely and she publicly supported the UK upskirting legislation on Lorraine. Her current BBC podcast with Iain Stirling, Murder They Wrote, sits in a similar register. The West End run of 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Criterion Theatre placed her on a stage with a different kind of audience for four months in late 2022. Buyers booking her for an awards night, a women’s network event or a moderated panel on online safety are buying the same person across each of those formats. Key speaking topics Hosting and event moderation Awards ceremony presenting Panel facilitation Women’s safety and online harm Mental health in public life Media, journalism and broadcasting Live event presenting and emcee work Ideal for Internal conferences, town halls and awards nights needing a confident broadcast host Women’s network events, IWD programmes and gender-equity panels Wellbeing, mental health and employee-engagement events where a credible non-clinical voice is needed Brand activations and media-industry events where on-camera fluency matters Audience outcomes An event held together by a host who reads the room and lands the cues Panel conversations that move, with follow-up questions that come from journalism, not a running order Sensitive topics, including online harm and mental health, handled without slipping into either tabloid or training-video tone Audience attention sustained through the dips of a long agenda

Why organisations work with Katherine Templar-Lewis She brings the science of uncertainty into the room with an evidence base, not a metaphor. The Uncertainty Experts, the programme she leads as chief scientist, was built with University College London and is one of the few interventions on the topic with published validation. Her material is designed to land on commercial teams, not academic audiences. She has translated the same research into work for Apple, LEGO, Nike, Volvo, Nestle and TikTok. Co-author of The Uncertainty Toolkit with Sam Conniff (Pan Macmillan), giving leaders a named, citable framework rather than a generic talk on resilience. A serious media operator: BBC, Sky News, NBC, CNN, Radio 4 and The Today Show, with coverage in The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times and New Scientist. Boards get a communicator who can hold a stage and a camera. Co-founder of Kinda Studios, a neuroscience studio that runs applied research with UCL and Goldsmiths. The work she presents from the stage is the work she is doing with clients during the week. Biography highlights Cognitive scientist; co-founder and director of Kinda Studios, a creative neuroscience studio. Lead scientist and co-creator of The Uncertainty Experts, an interactive documentary developed with University College London and Sam Conniff. Co-author of The Uncertainty Toolkit, published by Pan Macmillan. Co-host and executive producer of Beyond 5 Senses, an Audible Originals neuroscience series. Research collaborations with UCL and Goldsmiths; programme research validated in association with The Royal Society and CIPD. Recurring science contributor on BBC, Sky News, NBC, CNN, Radio 4, The Today Show, The One Show and Start the Week. Speaker and consulting work with Apple, LEGO, Nike, Volvo, Nestle, Netflix and TikTok. Biography Most leadership advice on uncertainty stops at metaphor. Katherine Templar-Lewis works on the underlying mechanism, the cognitive and neurological systems that decide whether a senior team holds its nerve, narrows its focus or freezes. As co-founder of Kinda Studios and lead scientist on The Uncertainty Experts, she has built one of the few evidence-based programmes on the subject, developed with University College London and validated in association with The Royal Society and CIPD. The work has commercial reach because the science is translated, not diluted. The Uncertainty Toolkit, her book with Sam Conniff for Pan Macmillan, sets out the operating moves leaders can make when conditions are unstable: how to read their own physiology, how to choose between options without false confidence, how to keep teams committed when the picture keeps changing. Apple, LEGO, Nike, Volvo, Nestle and TikTok have used the same material inside their own organisations. She is also a confident communicator outside the academic register. As co-host and executive producer of Beyond 5 Senses on Audible, and as a recurring contributor across BBC, Sky News, NBC, CNN and Radio 4, she has spent years turning research into language that an audience can use the next morning. New Scientist has called her approach radically optimistic, which is unusual in a field that tends toward warnings. What she gives an executive audience is a more accurate map of what their own brains are doing during a hard quarter, and a small set of tools that hold up when the data does not. Key speaking topics Decision-making under uncertainty Applied neuroscience for leaders Team performance and connection Cognitive resilience and recovery Neuroaesthetics, creativity and wellbeing Behaviour change and organisational learning Ideal for Executive teams and boards working through prolonged strategic uncertainty CHROs and people leaders rebuilding team resilience after sustained change Innovation, brand and customer experience leaders interested in neuroaesthetics Leadership development programmes for senior cohorts Audience outcomes A working understanding of how the brain handles uncertainty, and what that means for senior decisions Named techniques from The Uncertainty Toolkit that leaders can apply to their own routines Sharper recognition of the team behaviours that signal cognitive overload before performance drops A more confident posture toward ambiguity, grounded in research rather than mindset language

Why organisations work with Abigail Ireland She bridges two audiences most performance speakers cannot. As a Chartered Banker who originated private equity deals before retraining as a Master Personal Trainer and nutrition coach, she speaks to a finance or executive room without losing them on the physiology, and to an operational room without losing them on the commercial logic. The Performance Advantage methodology gives clients a single framework that covers mindset, energy, and focus rather than three separate vendor relationships for coaching, wellbeing, and productivity. Practical content rather than inspiration. Sessions translate into specific changes an executive can apply to a working week: sleep, nutrition, recovery, focus blocks, calendar discipline. Track record with demanding corporate environments including The Walt Disney Company, Discovery, Lloyds Banking Group and Lyft, where the brief is sustained output under pressure, not motivational lift. Biography highlights Chartered Banker (MCBI) with a First Class BSc (Hons) in International Management Former private equity professional and international banking strategy and business management lead Creator of the Performance Advantage methodology, used in keynotes, workshops and coaching engagements Master Personal Trainer (Australian Institute of Fitness), Pn2 Precision Nutrition Coach, NLP Practitioner, Mind Gym Coach, DISC Practitioner Corporate clients include The Walt Disney Company, Discovery, Lloyds Banking Group and Lyft Contributor and featured expert across GQ, HR Magazine, ILM publications, Skillshare, AAT, ACCA Student Accountant, NatWest, and CMI Workplace Biography Most corporate wellbeing programmes are built on the assumption that the workforce needs encouragement. Senior leadership teams need something different. They need to know how to operate at high cognitive load, week after week, without their judgement or stamina degrading. That is the operational question Abigail Ireland’s work addresses. Her route to the question is unusual. She began in private equity deal origination, then moved into international strategy and business management roles in banking, qualifying as a Chartered Banker along the way. The shift into peak performance was not a pivot away from finance. It was a recognition that the performance variable inside those firms was personal, not structural, and that nobody was treating it with the same rigour as a transaction. The Performance Advantage methodology is the result. It treats mindset, energy, and focus as a single integrated system, drawing on her training as a Master Personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition coach, NLP Practitioner, and Mind Gym coach. The content is calibrated for senior corporate audiences, with named clients including The Walt Disney Company, Discovery, Lloyds Banking Group, and Lyft. What separates her sessions from the broader wellbeing market is the level of specificity. Audiences leave with concrete adjustments to their week, not a renewed commitment to self-care. The work has been picked up by GQ, HR Magazine, ILM, CMI Workplace, and ACCA Student Accountant. Key speaking topics Peak performance psychology Energy and recovery for senior leaders Focus and productivity under cognitive load Mindset and limiting beliefs Sustainable high performance Wellbeing as a performance lever Personal effectiveness and time discipline Ideal for Senior leadership teams and executive committees facing sustained delivery pressure CHROs and heads of talent commissioning wellbeing or performance content for high-demand functions Partner and managing director cohorts in professional services, banking and law Sales and deal teams where individual stamina materially affects revenue Audience outcomes A clear set of changes an executive can apply to their week across sleep, nutrition, recovery, and focus A working model for treating mindset, energy, and focus as one system rather than three separate problems Practical methods to manage cognitive load and avoid output decline under pressure Language and frameworks senior leaders can use to discuss performance with their own teams

Why organisations work with Duena Blomstrom She names a specific, measurable liability most boards do not currently track. Human Debt sits underneath stalled transformations and lets a leadership team see why their roadmap keeps slipping for non-technical reasons. Her argument lands with engineering and product audiences who tune out conventional wellbeing language. Framing safety as a debt that compounds against velocity gives operators a vocabulary they will actually use. She built the diagnostic, not just the theory. PeopleNotTech turns the framework into measurement, which means a keynote can connect to real follow-on team data rather than ending at inspiration. Three books across Palgrave Macmillan, Bloomsbury Business, and Kogan Page give her argument continuity from FinTech culture (Emotional Banking) through team safety (People Before Tech) to enterprise transformation (Tech-Led Culture). She speaks publicly as a neurodivergent founder, which gives substance to inclusion conversations that are otherwise abstract for senior audiences. Biography highlights Author of Emotional Banking (Palgrave Macmillan), People Before Tech (Bloomsbury Business), and Tech-Led Culture (Kogan Page). CEO and co-founder of PeopleNotTech, a psychological safety measurement platform. Originator of the Human Debt concept and the Emotional Banking framework. LinkedIn Top Voice on leadership and psychological safety with a large newsletter readership. Former Forbes contributor; host of the “people AND tech” and “Tales from the FinTech Crypt” podcasts. Background spanning C-level roles in startups and major technology companies before founding PeopleNotTech. Biography Most digital transformation programmes do not fail on the technology. They fail on whether the team running them can disagree, recover from a bad decision, and tell the truth about a slipping deadline. That is the territory Duena Blomstrom has spent the last decade making operational. Her central concept, Human Debt, reframes psychological safety as a balance sheet item. Teams accrue interest every time a candid conversation is avoided, every time a senior leader rewards optics over honesty, every time fatigue is left unaddressed. Tech debt gets the spreadsheet. Human Debt rarely does, and the cost shows up in stalled roadmaps, attrition, and AI rollouts that never reach production. She built three books out of this argument. Emotional Banking (Palgrave Macmillan) treated culture as the missing variable in retail banking transformation. People Before Tech (Bloomsbury Business) made the case for safety as a precondition of high performance. Tech-Led Culture (Kogan Page) extended the work into enterprise change. Alongside the writing, she co-founded PeopleNotTech to turn the diagnosis into measurement, so the conversation about team health does not stop at the keynote. Audiences also get a founder who writes openly about being neurodivergent and what that means for leadership in practice. That makes inclusion a substantive thread in her work rather than a section header. Key speaking topics Psychological safety as a measurable team capability Human Debt and the hidden cost of low-trust teams Culture inside digital and AI transformation FinTech, retail banking, and Emotional Banking Neurodiversity and inclusive leadership Future of work and agile team practice Ideal for CHROs, chief people officers, and heads of organisational development running culture or engagement programmes alongside major technology change. CIOs, CTOs, and transformation leads whose roadmaps depend on team behaviour, not just delivery capacity. Banking, FinTech, and financial services leadership teams working through digital and AI rollouts. Boards and ExCos commissioning a serious conversation about why transformation programmes are underperforming. Audience outcomes A working definition of Human Debt that a leadership team can apply to its own organisation the next morning. A clearer line between team-level psychological safety and the commercial outcomes a board cares about. A vocabulary that lands with technical audiences who normally resist culture conversations. Specific signals to look for in teams where transformation, AI adoption, or restructuring is in flight. A frank account of what gets lost when neurodivergent leaders are managed for compliance rather than contribution.

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 Justin Roethlingshoefer He brings the performance science used to keep professional hockey players on the ice into the language of P&L, calendar pressure and executive fatigue, with frameworks tested over a fifteen-year career across NCAA and NHL environments. His method starts from individual biological data, including bloodwork, HRV and DNA inputs, so the room leaves with personalised next actions rather than a generic wellness playbook. He has built and runs OWN IT Coaching, which means the content is informed by what is currently working with paying executive clients, not theory drawn from a former career. His book The Power of Ownership gives audiences a structured reference point after the keynote, extending the conversation beyond the event. Biography highlights Founder of OWN IT Coaching, a health and performance company serving founders, executives and corporate teams. Fifteen years in elite sport across NCAA and professional hockey, with strength and performance responsibilities tied to the San Diego Gulls and the Anaheim Ducks organisation. Author of four books, including The Power of Ownership, listed as a USA Today bestseller. Master’s in Human Development with a Sport Performance concentration; postgraduate work in HRV, sleep and recovery science. Host of The OWN IT Show podcast and a regular contributor on SimpliFaster and Muscle & Strength. Featured in Fox News, Esquire, USA Today, LiveScience and Well+Good. Biography The cost of high-performance leadership tends to show up in the body before it shows up in the numbers. Sleep degrades, recovery collapses, decisions get slower and shorter, and the wellbeing programme on the company intranet does not touch any of it. That is the gap Justin Roethlingshoefer’s work addresses. He spent fifteen years inside elite hockey, first in the NCAA and then in the professional system, with strength and performance responsibilities tied to the San Diego Gulls in the AHL and the Anaheim Ducks organisation. His job was to keep human beings playing at their physical ceiling across a punishing season, using data on load, fatigue, sleep and recovery. He brought that operating model out of the locker room and into the office. OWN IT Coaching, the company he founded, applies the same approach to executives, founders and corporate teams. The starting point is individual biology, bloodwork, HRV, wearables and DNA testing, with structured coaching on the back of it. His four books, including the USA Today bestseller The Power of Ownership, set out the underlying argument: health is an ownership decision, and senior leaders who treat it that way protect the asset their organisations depend on most. His sports-science training sits behind everything he says, which is what separates him from the wider wellness category. The case he makes to a senior audience is concrete: the same monitoring that keeps a Stanley Cup contender on the ice can keep a CEO sharp through a year that was not built for human pacing. Key speaking topics Executive health and performance Burnout prevention in senior leadership Sleep, recovery and HRV in high-pressure roles Wearables, biometric data and personalised health Ownership as a personal operating principle Health risk in founder-led and high-growth organisations Team performance and resilience Ideal for CEOs, founders and executive committees carrying sustained operational load CHROs and heads of people designing senior leader wellbeing and retention Leadership offsites and partner retreats in professional services Sales and high-performance teams working under structured pressure Audience outcomes A clear separation between generic wellness advice and the variables that actually move executive performance A working understanding of how sleep, HRV, recovery and load data translate into leadership capacity Personal next actions framed as ownership decisions rather than corporate programme tweaks Language to discuss executive health as an organisational asset with boards and HR A reference framework drawn from The Power of Ownership to extend the conversation after the event

Why organisations work with Julia Gentry A coaching track record concentrated in growth-stage businesses in the $10 to $100 million revenue band, where the founder and the leadership team are the same people and personal capacity is the binding constraint. A signature D.R.E.A.M. framework she uses with executive teams to close the gap between stated ambition and the daily decisions that contradict it. Direct authority with women leaders navigating the specific tension between professional ambition and the rest of their lives, written about in her book Dream – I Dare You. A strong following in the US residential real estate sector, where she is repeatedly booked back into the same firms and conferences. Biography highlights CEO and founder of The Dream Factory & Co., leading a team of eight. Author of Dream – I Dare You: A Wake-Up Call to Greater Alignment in Your Faith, Family, Career, and Community and the companion Dream – Workbook. More than a decade coaching executive teams at companies grossing $10 to $100 million annually. Co-founder of six businesses across 16 years as an entrepreneur, including a real estate operation. Named client engagements include Harcourts North America, Total Real Estate Group and Keller Williams agents and brokerages. Creator of the D.R.E.A.M. framework, used in keynote sessions, group coaching and an eight-week curriculum. Biography Most leadership burnout is not a wellness problem. It is a clarity problem. The leader knows what the next quarter requires, but cannot remember what the next decade is for. That is the gap Julia Gentry works in. She is the CEO and founder of The Dream Factory & Co., a coaching practice she built after a career in residential real estate that ended, by her own account, in burnout in her early thirties. Over the past decade, she has coached executive teams at growth-stage businesses in the $10 to $100 million revenue range, where the leadership group and the founders are usually the same small set of people. Her book Dream – I Dare You is the written form of that work. It argues that alignment across professional ambition, family life, and personal conviction is the precondition for sustained senior performance, not a soft add-on to it. The companion Dream – Workbook turns the same argument into a working tool for leadership teams and small groups. Her commercial track record is strongest in the US residential real estate sector, where firms including Harcourts North America, Total Real Estate Group and Keller Williams brokerages have brought her back to work with leaders and agents. The D.R.E.A.M. framework she developed is now used in keynote settings, in an eight-week curriculum, and in direct executive coaching with founders who have stopped enjoying the company they built. Key speaking topics Self-leadership and burnout recovery Women in senior leadership Purpose and alignment in growth-stage businesses Limiting beliefs in executive teams Leadership in real estate and entrepreneur-led firms Faith-aligned leadership Ideal for Founders and CEOs of growth-stage businesses in the $10 to $100 million revenue band Women leadership networks and senior women’s events Real estate brokerages, agent groups and franchise leadership conferences Faith-aligned corporate and entrepreneurial audiences Audience outcomes A clear read on where personal capacity is the bottleneck in the business, not the strategy Language for the gap between stated ambition and actual decision-making in the leadership team A practical structure, the D.R.E.A.M. framework, for resetting that gap Permission and a method for women leaders to redefine what success in the role looks like A direct challenge to grind-culture assumptions about what senior leadership requires

Why organisations work with Brickman Allen A specific, verifiable survival story: under 10% predicted chance of life, discharged nine days after the attack, marathon completed against medical advice. The narrative is his own, not borrowed. Author of The Bully Guard, a memoir and practical guide aimed at teenagers, which makes him a credible booking for schools, youth-facing programmes, and family-day corporate events as well as adult audiences. Runs his own businesses alongside the speaking work: president of EMC2 Group, an Arizona architecture firm, and owner of Tradelands Realty. The day job grounds the storytelling in operating reality rather than pure platform performance. Built around the #LiveOutside method, a personal framework on living outside expectations, limits, fear, and self. It gives audiences a single mental model to take away rather than a set of unconnected anecdotes. Biography highlights Survivor of a violent home invasion; defied a less than 10% survival prognosis and a predicted six-month hospital recovery, leaving hospital in nine days. Completed a marathon in early 2021 after medical opinion that he would never run again. Author of The Bully Guard: The Story of Acceptance and Friendship, available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. President of EMC2 Group, an Arizona architecture firm, with more than 15 years leading firms and teams in the US Southwest. Founder and owner of Tradelands Realty, established 2006. Member of the National Speakers Association, Arizona chapter. Biography A home invasion in his early twenties left Brickman Allen on life support with less than a 10% chance of survival and a predicted six-month hospital recovery. He walked out nine days later. Years on, he completed a marathon that doctors had said would never happen. That sequence is the spine of his speaking work. The point is not the survival itself, but what it reveals about decisions made under sustained pressure: how a person keeps showing up at home, at work, and inside an organisation while still healing. The #LiveOutside method, his own framework, organises this into four moves: living outside expectations, outside limits, outside fear, and outside self. He pairs the platform work with a working business life. He is president of EMC2 Group, an Arizona architecture firm where he has spent more than fifteen years leading teams across the US Southwest, and owner of Tradelands Realty, which he founded in 2006. His book The Bully Guard sits alongside the keynote work as a guide for teenagers on bullying, depression, and self-acceptance, drawn directly from his own school years. For audiences, the value is a model for recovery that does not skip the harder parts. He talks openly about depression, suicidal ideation as a teenager, and the long return to function after the attack. The result is a session that lands with people carrying something heavy of their own, alongside leaders who want a vocabulary for resilience that holds up outside the slide deck. Key speaking topics Recovery and resilience after trauma Mental health awareness and suicide prevention Bullying and adolescent self-acceptance Loyalty, integrity, and trust in teams Vulnerable leadership Storytelling for purpose-driven audiences Ideal for Internal culture days, all-hands events, and family-day formats where teams want a human story rather than a strategic keynote HR and wellbeing leads commissioning sessions on mental health awareness, resilience, or suicide prevention Schools, universities, and youth programmes addressing bullying and adolescent wellbeing Sales kick-offs and team off-sites looking for a closing keynote on perseverance and integrity Audience outcomes A single named framework, the #LiveOutside method, that audiences can hold onto after the room empties A first-person account of recovery from extreme adversity that opens space to discuss mental health honestly inside the organisation Language for talking about bullying, depression, and suicidal ideation in mixed audiences without flinching from the subject A practical view of how integrity, loyalty, and self-reliance show up in daily team behaviour

Why organisations work with Chrissy May She speaks to the personal interior of high performers, the part that wellness perks and engagement surveys do not reach, drawing on two decades of one-to-one work with founders, executives and athletes. Her practice integrates hypnotherapy, somatic work and subconscious reprogramming through Sacred Shift Therapy, so the material is grounded in a specific therapeutic method rather than general motivational content. Audiences hear from someone who has built and run businesses across health, wellness and real estate, not a speaker whose only product is the talk itself. Her book Aligned + Alive and the podcast of the same name give organisers a clear, public body of work that audiences can engage with before and after the session. Biography highlights Author, ALIGNED + ALIVE: Your Guide to Clarity, Self-Love, and Living with Purpose. Host, Aligned + Alive podcast, distributed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music. Founder, Sacred Shift Therapy and Sacred Experiences retreats. Founder of CMAY Performance, with work spanning elite athletes and survivors of domestic violence. Over 20 years in health and wellness; concurrent real-estate advisory practice based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Former competitive figure skater and fitness champion. Biography Performance at senior levels increasingly comes with a private cost that organisations do not see. Founders, executives and high-output professionals function publicly while quietly running low on clarity, energy and meaning. Chrissy May has spent more than twenty years working with that interior layer. Her practice, Sacred Shift Therapy, draws on transformational hypnotherapy, somatic work and subconscious reprogramming. The method is specific, not generalised motivation. Her retreat business, Sacred Experiences, applies the same approach to immersive group settings for leaders who need a reset rather than another training programme. She came to this work through performance environments. She competed as a figure skater and fitness champion before building CMAY Performance, which trained elite athletes and supported survivors of domestic violence. She has since combined the therapeutic practice with a long-running real-estate advisory career in Arizona, working in proximity to the entrepreneurial clients she also coaches. Her book Aligned + Alive: Your Guide to Clarity, Self-Love, and Living with Purpose and the podcast of the same name extend that practice to a wider audience. Both are built around the same thesis: that the people who appear most capable are often the ones most in need of permission to slow down, recover and choose what they actually want next. Key speaking topics Personal recovery from burnout Clarity and purpose for high achievers Mindset and subconscious reprogramming Inner work behind sustained performance Resilience after personal setback Authenticity and self-leadership Ideal for Founder and entrepreneur communities convening for offsites or retreats Sales, advisory and client-facing teams in high-output industries Women’s leadership and high-performer networks Personal-development and wellbeing programmes inside professional services and real estate Audience outcomes A clearer picture of where they are running on reserves and what is depleting them A specific therapeutic vocabulary for the difference between motivation, mindset and subconscious patterns Permission and language to slow down without losing professional ambition Practical exercises drawn from hypnotherapy and somatic work that they can use after the session

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.
