Health & Wellbeing

Why organisations work with Emma Ross She brings the operating knowledge of the person who ran physiology for Team GB across Olympic and Paralympic cycles, applied directly to corporate workforces rather than borrowed as metaphor. She co-founded The Well HQ, the consultancy that has delivered women’s health programmes inside Sport England, England Netball, the Lawn Tennis Association, Vitality, News UK and Barclays; her frameworks are already in production in serious organisations. The Female Body Bible gave her a mainstream platform and a Sunday Times bestseller, which means her language is already familiar to employees and journalists before she walks into the room. She closes the knowing-doing gap leaders struggle with most: turning evidence on menstrual health, menopause, pelvic health and breast health into specific policy, benefits and manager scripts. Her authority is independent and scientific. The Cardiff Metropolitan honorary doctorate and her Fellowship of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Science signal that the content is peer-respected, not opinion. Biography highlights Head of Physiology, English Institute of Sport, 2013 to 2021, across Rio and Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic cycles. Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, The Well HQ. Co-author, The Female Body Bible, Sunday Times bestseller, 2023. Changemaker, The Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year Awards, 2021. Honorary Doctorate, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2025. Honorary Research Fellow, University of Brighton; Honorary Lecturer, University of Kent; Fellow of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Science. Biography Women make up roughly half of most workforces and a larger share of many consumer markets. Until recently, almost no corporate policy, product design or leadership development programme was built on evidence about how female bodies actually work. Emma Ross is one of the people rewriting that. As Head of Physiology at the English Institute of Sport from 2013, she supported Team GB athletes and coaches across the Rio and Tokyo cycles. Inside that system she saw how much of the playbook for elite performance had been written for men, and what happened when women were given training, recovery, nutrition and medical support designed around their physiology instead. In 2021 she co-founded The Well HQ with Baz Moffat and Dr Bella Smith. The consultancy has built education and policy programmes for Sport England, England Netball, the Lawn Tennis Association and the Open University, and has moved into corporate workforces with Vitality, News UK and Barclays. The Female Body Bible, co-authored in 2023, landed as an instant Sunday Times bestseller and took the argument into the mainstream. Her credibility is underwritten by a PhD from Brunel, more than thirty peer-reviewed publications, a Fellowship of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Science, and an Honorary Doctorate from Cardiff Metropolitan University awarded in 2025. The practical value for a boardroom is simpler: she can tell a CHRO, in specific terms, what to change on Monday about benefits, line-manager training, menopause policy, return-to-work protocols and the data the organisation is not yet collecting. Key speaking topics Women’s health in the workplace Female physiology and high performance Menstrual health, menopause and pelvic health at work Policy and manager capability for women’s health Culture change in male-default organisations Lessons from elite sport for corporate performance systems Evidence-based wellbeing for women Ideal for CHROs, Chief People Officers and Heads of Reward designing benefits, menopause and family-health policy. DEI and ERG leads moving from awareness events to operational change. Executive teams in organisations with large female workforces or female consumer bases. Leadership programmes for senior women and their managers. Audience outcomes A clear read on where your current policies and manager behaviours fail women, and what to change first. Specific, evidence-based actions on menstrual health, menopause, pelvic and breast health that can be taken into HR and benefits. Language that line managers and male leaders can use without fear of saying the wrong thing. A framework for translating women’s health from a wellbeing initiative into an organisational performance lever. Confidence that the content is backed by elite sport science and peer-reviewed evidence, not opinion.

Why organisations work with Bella Smith Clinical authority that holds up in the room. Twenty years as an NHS GP partner means the advice survives challenge from medical, HR and legal stakeholders alike. Operator credentials, not only commentary. Through The Well HQ she has built women’s health frameworks for clients including the FA and corporate employers, translating physiology into policy. A Sunday Times bestselling co-author of The Female Body Bible, the most cited recent reference book on female-specific health and performance in the UK market. Ambassador status with The Eve Appeal gives her standing on gynaecological health that goes beyond menopause, the topic most women’s health speakers default to. Direct, plain-language register. Audiences leave with vocabulary they can use the next day, in policy drafting, line-management conversations and personal decisions. Biography highlights NHS GP partner with over 20 years of clinical experience, specialising in women’s health Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of The Well HQ, a women’s health consultancy Co-author of The Female Body Bible (Penguin, 2023), a Sunday Times bestseller Ambassador for The Eve Appeal, the UK gynaecological cancer charity Media spokesperson as The Digital GP, with appearances on BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour, BBC Radio Suffolk and Sky News Co-led the design of an integrated female health framework across the Women’s Super League, the National Leagues and grassroots football Biography Women’s health has spent a decade being talked about and rarely being built into how organisations actually operate. Policies on menopause sit in handbooks no manager reads. Wellness budgets fund webinars that leave behavioural change untouched. The work of moving from sentiment to system is technical, and it is what Bella Smith does. She has been an NHS GP partner in Suffolk for over twenty years, with a clinical specialism in women’s health. That practice is the source of the directness audiences notice first. The advice is what she would give in a consultation, stripped of corporate hedging. In 2021 she co-founded The Well HQ with sports scientist Dr Emma Ross and coach Baz Moffat. The consultancy works with employers and sports bodies to translate female physiology into policy, manager training and culture. Their work with the FA produced an integrated female health framework spanning the Women’s Super League, National Leagues and grassroots football, the first of its kind. The Female Body Bible, co-authored with Ross and Moffat and published by Penguin in 2023, became a Sunday Times bestseller. It is now the reference text many HR teams use when they begin to take this seriously. As an ambassador for The Eve Appeal and a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour and Sky News, she has spent years closing the gap between clinical knowledge and public conversation. Inside organisations, that gap is where most policy fails. Key speaking topics Women’s health in the workplace Menopause policy and management Reproductive and gynaecological health Female physiology and performance Stress and lifestyle medicine Health communication and taboo Ideal for CHROs, heads of D&I and reward leads building or auditing women’s health policy Line manager and leadership audiences who need clinical fluency, not slogans Sports, performance and athlete-welfare organisations Employee resource groups and women’s networks running serious internal programming Audience outcomes A clinical baseline on menopause, reproductive health and female physiology that survives scrutiny Vocabulary and questions managers can use in their next one-to-one A clear view of where current workplace policy falls short, and what good looks like Practical reference points for HR teams designing or revising women’s health provision

Why organisations work with Pau Gasol Two NBA championships, three Olympic medals and a FIBA World Cup title give him a working definition of high performance grounded in repeated wins across cultures, coaches and rosters, not a single peak. He speaks credibly about the operating reality of elite teams: ego management next to a generational star (Kobe Bryant), role clarity, and the unglamorous habits that hold a group together across an 82-game season. A Basketball Hall of Fame induction in 2023 and a retired Lakers jersey place him among the small group of athletes whose authority on team and leadership is taken seriously inside a boardroom, not only on a stage. His work outside sport (Gasol Foundation on childhood obesity, IOC Athletes’ Commission, Gasol16 Ventures) shows a leader who has built institutions, not only played in them. The J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award is the NBA’s formal recognition of that. He presents fluently in English and Spanish, with direct experience of US, European and global organisations, which suits international leadership audiences without translation overhead. Biography highlights Two NBA Championships with the Los Angeles Lakers (2009, 2010); six-time NBA All-Star; four-time All-NBA selection. 2002 NBA Rookie of the Year, the first non-American player to win the award. Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Class of 2023; jersey No. 16 retired by the Los Angeles Lakers. FIBA World Cup champion and MVP 2006; three EuroBasket golds with Spain (2009, 2011, 2015); two-time EuroBasket MVP. Three Olympic medals with Spain: silver in 2008 and 2012, bronze in 2016. President and co-founder of the Gasol Foundation; UNICEF Global Champion for Nutrition and Zero Childhood Obesity; member of the IOC Athletes’ Commission; 2012 NBA J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. Biography Two NBA Championships, three Olympic medals and a FIBA World Cup title are not won by the same individual playing in different teams. They are won by leaders who help different groups behave the same way under pressure. Pau Gasol spent two decades inside the highest-stakes team environments in professional sport, with Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, alongside his brother Marc on the Spanish national team, and across rosters in Memphis, Chicago, San Antonio and Milwaukee. The interest for senior leaders is not the trophy count. It is what it took to sit beside a generational star like Bryant and still deliver, year after year, in the locker room as much as on the court. Role clarity, ego management, honest conversations between named individuals, and a standard that did not move with the score. Gasol’s account of that period is one of the more credible insider readings of elite team performance available from any speaker in the market. His record off the court is unusually substantive for an athlete. He co-founded the Gasol Foundation in 2013 with Marc Gasol, working on childhood obesity and child wellbeing in Spain and the United States. He serves as UNICEF’s Global Champion for Nutrition and Zero Childhood Obesity, sits on the International Olympic Committee Athletes’ Commission, and runs Gasol16 Ventures, an investment platform in sport, health and wellness. The NBA recognised the community work with the 2012 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023, with his number retired by the Los Angeles Lakers the same year, Gasol now speaks to leadership audiences in English and Spanish on what it actually takes to build a team that wins more than once. Key speaking topics Leadership and team performance under sustained pressure Building trust and role clarity inside elite teams Resilience and self-leadership through injury, transition and setback Sport as a model for organisational culture and standards Purpose-driven leadership and life after a professional career Child health and the leadership case for long-term social investment Ideal for Senior leadership offsites and CEO conferences focused on team performance and culture Sales kick-offs and annual conferences seeking a credible voice on resilience and standards Sports, health and consumer-brand audiences engaging with athlete leadership International audiences requiring delivery in English or Spanish Audience outcomes A working picture of what elite team performance looks like behind the result, told by someone inside it A direct view of how leaders manage ego, role and trust around a dominant individual Specific reference points for resilience and decision-making through injury, transition and public scrutiny A leadership case for long-term investment in people and purpose beyond the immediate quarter

Why organisations work with Miguel Luengo-Oroz He held the inaugural Chief Data Scientist role at the United Nations for six years, applying AI to conflict prevention, refugee response, epidemics and human rights. That is a vantage point no consultant or academic alone can replicate. He runs Spotlab, an operating AI company in clinical diagnostics. His commentary on AI risk is grounded in shipping production systems, not theoretical governance. He has published more than 100 articles in venues including Nature and MIT Technology Review, and has briefed governments in Europe and the United States, including the Global Partnership on AI. He invented MalariaSpot, a crowdsourced game that turned thousands of citizens into diagnostic contributors. He is fluent in both AI ethics doctrine and what it looks like when humans and AI actually share work. Biography highlights First Chief Data Scientist of the United Nations, UN Global Pulse, Executive Office of the Secretary-General, 2016 to 2022. Founder and CEO of Spotlab, an AI platform for clinical research and universal diagnosis. Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid; PhD (special prize) from the same institution; additional MSc from EHESS and École Normale Supérieure, Paris. Obama Foundation Leader (Europe 2023), Ashoka Fellow, MIT Technology Review TR35, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, EU Responsible Research and Innovation Award. More than 100 scientific articles, policy briefs and op-eds; featured in Nature, MIT Technology Review, The Guardian and The New York Times. Inventor of MalariaSpot.org, a crowdsourcing video game for malaria diagnosis. Biography The United Nations created its first Chief Data Scientist post in 2016, and Miguel Luengo-Oroz held it for six years. The brief was to put AI and data science to work on problems that do not forgive errors: epidemic response, refugee movements, hate speech detection, conflict prevention, climate. That experience shaped a working philosophy that responsible AI is not a values statement, it is an operating discipline. Today he runs Spotlab, an AI platform for clinical research and diagnostics, built around smartphones, AI models and 3D printing to bring quality diagnostics to diseases largely absent from the digital health economy. He is also a professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, where his research spans generative AI, collective intelligence and systems biology. His commentary draws on more than 100 publications across Nature, MIT Technology Review, The Guardian and The New York Times, and on advisory work with governments in Europe and the United States and the Global Partnership on AI. Recognitions include the Obama Foundation Leaders programme, an Ashoka fellowship, MIT TR35, the EU Responsible Research and Innovation Award, and a fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts. For senior leaders, the value is the combination: someone who has set AI policy inside the most scrutinised public institution in the world, and who currently ships AI products into regulated medical environments. He speaks about AI risk and opportunity with the specifics of someone doing the work. Key speaking topics Responsible and ethical AI AI governance and public-interest technology AI in healthcare and diagnostics AI for sustainable development and humanitarian response Generative AI: applications, risks and limits The future of AI policy and regulation Data science inside multilateral institutions Ideal for Boards and executive committees setting AI governance and risk posture CTOs, Chief Data Officers and Chief AI Officers operationalising responsible AI Healthcare, life sciences and pharma leaders deploying clinical AI Public sector, multilateral and NGO leadership teams using AI in policy and operations Audience outcomes A clear view of where AI risk actually sits in deployment, beyond policy statements Specific examples of AI applied to high-stakes problems inside the UN and in clinical settings A working framework for distinguishing responsible AI as discipline from responsible AI as branding Sharper questions to put to internal AI programmes, vendors and regulators Realistic perspective on what generative AI changes for organisations over the next two to three years

Why organisations work with Tom Clark He works inside one of the most demanding performance environments in elite sport, around 250 days a year on the road with an F1 driver, and brings that operating reality directly into the room. His doctoral research at Liverpool John Moores University on jet lag and travel fatigue in F1 gives him a defensible scientific position on a topic most peak-performance speakers handle anecdotally. He has been part of a Hungarian Grand Prix victory at the level of preparation and recovery, so the marginal-gains argument is grounded in a specific outcome rather than a general claim. He translates Hintsa Performance methodology, the system that shaped modern F1 conditioning, into language and tools senior leaders can apply to their own travel and decision schedules. Biography highlights Head of Performance for Esteban Ocon at Alpine F1, since 2020. Professional Doctorate in Applied Sport and Exercise Science, Liverpool John Moores University, focused on jet lag and travel fatigue in elite motorsport. MSc Athletic Development and Peak Performance, Solent University; BSc Health and Exercise Science, First Class Honours, Solent University. Former performance coach at Hintsa Performance, the consultancy behind much of modern F1 athlete development. Worked alongside Esteban Ocon at his maiden Formula One race win, the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix. Adapted the LJMU Jet Lag Questionnaire into a digital monitoring platform used across an F1 season. Biography A Formula 1 season runs to roughly two dozen races across five continents. The driver is expected to perform at the limit of human reaction time on each one, often within forty-eight hours of landing. Tom Clark is the person who designs the conditions under which that is possible. As Head of Performance for Esteban Ocon at Alpine F1, Clark is responsible for the sleep, training, nutrition, and recovery system that holds a driver’s output steady across a calendar engineered for fatigue. He came into the sport through Hintsa Performance, the consultancy that built the modern playbook for F1 conditioning, and joined Alpine as Senior Performance Coach in 2020. He was part of the team at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, Ocon’s first Formula One race victory. His doctoral research at Liverpool John Moores University, supervised by Dr Ben Edwards, focuses on jet lag and travel fatigue in elite motorsport. With LJMU colleagues, Clark adapted the university’s Jet Lag Questionnaire into a digital tool used across the F1 season, turning a clinical instrument into operating data. That research connects directly to what senior business audiences face: cumulative time-zone shifts, compressed sleep, and the gap between feeling capable and being capable. What distinguishes him from the wider peak-performance category is the specificity. He is not a former athlete reflecting on a finished career. He is an operator describing a system he runs every weekend, with a named driver, in measurable conditions, and grounding it in published science. Key speaking topics Performance science in elite motorsport Jet lag and travel fatigue in high-stakes environments Circadian rhythms and sleep as performance variables Marginal gains and Formula 1 preparation methodology Mental resilience under continuous competition Routine design for sustained executive output Ideal for C-suite leaders and senior executives whose schedules involve frequent long-haul travel and sustained decision load Sales and commercial leadership teams operating across multiple time zones High-performance teams in finance, professional services, and global operations where output cannot drop with the calendar Leadership development programmes drawing on elite-sport methodology Audience outcomes A working understanding of how circadian disruption affects judgement, mood, and reaction time, and what the data actually shows Specific protocols used inside an F1 team to manage jet lag, sleep, and recovery across long-haul travel A clearer line between preparation and performance, drawn from Formula 1 race weekends rather than business analogy Practical adjustments to routine, light exposure, training, and nutrition that senior leaders can apply inside an existing schedule An honest sense of where marginal gains move the needle and where they do not

Meet Sarah Ann Macklin Sarah Ann Macklin is a multifaceted force in the realm of health, nutrition, and advocacy. As the founder of the acclaimed podcast Live Well Be Well and the visionary behind the Be Well Collective, she has galvanised change in the wellness landscape. A registered nutritionist, TEDx speaker, international model, and esteemed health journalist, Sarah’s impact exceeds boundaries. Sarah was talent-spotted by a top London model agency at the age of 15 then whisked off to New York and catapulted into the world of high fashion and glamour, appearing on the front cover of Harpers, Vogue, and was the face of many high-profile campaigns. However, the reality was a brutal industry, which lacked any compassion and empathy. The apparent success of Sarah ultimately led to her health failing and being admitted to A&E which subsequently forced a huge career rethink, leading to the decision of turning her back on high fashion and pursuing her other love, nutrition! Through drive and determination, and ‘hindered’ with dyslexia, Sarah achieved a first-class degree in nutrition! Her dedication to preventative mental health initiatives led to the establishment of the Be Well Collective, a not-for-profit organization committed to preventable mental health support, on a mission for all minds to BE Well. Through her top UK health and nutrition podcast, Live Well, Be Well, one of the biggest UK health podcasts with most exclusive of the moment health conversations involving the world’s renowned scientists and health experts, Sarah has publicised invaluable insights and garnered widespread acclaim. Sarah’s influence extends to the political sphere, where she presented crucial findings on dietary guidelines and their link to the Type 2 diabetes epidemic at the European Parliament. Her book, “The Great British Veg Out,” ignited a nationwide campaign for healthier eating habits, earning support from prominent figures like Gary Barlow and Victoria Pendleton. Additionally, Sarah has consulted for leading brands such Ennismore group, Farmstand restaurant and The GoodLife as well as help patients in her clinic from magazine editors, popstars, actors and C-suite level executives and worked for Netflix. Sarah talks candidly about her own battles during her time as model recognising the lack of nutritional guidance in the modelling industry, Sarah founded the Be Well Collective, which has positively impacted thousands of young individuals through education summits, workshops, mentoring programs, and online resources. Her TEDx talk, “Are models, role models?” underscored her prowess as a compelling public speaker on physical and mental health, further solidifying her reputation. Sarah’s contributions to esteemed publications such as the Financial Times, Telegraph, and Harper’s Bazaar reflect her unwavering commitment to empowering individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Why organisations work with Elle Mace Her clinical stack is unusually deep for a workplace wellbeing speaker: Master Practitioner via the National Centre for Eating Disorders, ICF accredited NLP Practitioner, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, Level 4 CBT and ILM Level 5 Coach and Mentor. Food Freedom, published by Vermilion in August 2026, gives audiences a named, citable framework on food, body image and the rise of GLP-1 weight loss medications, a topic most wellbeing programmes are not yet equipped to discuss. She runs her own clinic and two CPD-accredited training courses for practitioners, so the workplace material is grounded in active clinical caseload rather than recycled keynote content. Her recovery from 17 years of eating disorders and body dysmorphia gives the room a level of trust and disclosure that pure clinicians rarely achieve, without sliding into testimonial territory. As Executive Partner at Strategic Wellbeing, she works inside an operating consultancy, which means her keynote sits alongside follow-on training and 1:1 support rather than ending at the stage. Biography highlights Author of Food Freedom, Vermilion (Penguin Random House UK), August 2026 Master Practitioner in eating disorders, obesity and nutrition, National Centre for Eating Disorders ICF accredited NLP Practitioner, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, Level 4 CBT, ILM Level 5 Coach and Mentor Executive Partner at Strategic Wellbeing Founder of her own clinic, with two CPD-accredited training courses for practitioners Host of the More to Life podcast on food, body and growth Biography Workplace wellbeing strategy still defaults to perks and posters when the harder issues sit further down: how people relate to food, to their bodies and to their own self-worth. Those issues quietly drive absence, presenteeism and burnout, and they rarely show up in engagement data. Elle Mace works at that level, where most wellbeing programmes do not reach. Her credentials are built for it. She trained as a Master Practitioner in eating disorders, obesity and nutrition through the National Centre for Eating Disorders, and holds qualifications as an ICF accredited NLP Practitioner, a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, a Level 4 CBT practitioner and an ILM Level 5 Coach and Mentor. She runs her own clinic, hosts international retreats and has built two CPD-accredited training courses for other practitioners. Food Freedom, published by Vermilion, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, in August 2026, codifies the argument. It pairs positive psychology and cognitive behavioural tools with a direct reading of diet culture and the new wave of GLP-1 weight loss medications now entering the wellbeing conversation. As Executive Partner at Strategic Wellbeing, she takes that material into corporate environments through keynotes, workshops and training. The lived backbone is 17 years of recovery from eating disorders and body dysmorphia. That experience is what allows her to talk about self-worth, body image and disordered eating in front of a corporate audience without losing either clinical authority or the room. Key speaking topics Psychology of food, body image and self-worth at work Eating disorders, disordered eating and body dysmorphia Workplace wellbeing and mental health Burnout, stress and resilience Positive psychology for performance Self-doubt, self-worth and imposter syndrome Mindful leadership and the mind-body connection Ideal for CHROs, wellbeing leads and EAP commissioners designing the next layer of mental health strategy HR directors and DEI leads addressing body image, self-worth and gendered wellbeing concerns Leadership teams in high-pressure sectors where burnout, food and body issues are showing up in engagement data Internal employee networks, ERGs and Mental Health Awareness Week or Wellbeing Week programmes Audience outcomes A clearer view of how food, body image and self-worth feed into workplace stress, presenteeism and burnout Practical positive psychology and cognitive behavioural tools employees can use without clinical supervision Confident vocabulary for line managers and HR on disordered eating, body dysmorphia and weight stigma Reference points from Food Freedom and her CPD-accredited training for follow-on organisational work A safer, more honest conversation in the room about issues most employees do not raise at work

Why organisations work with Daniel Chappell A first-hand account of raising significant early-stage capital with no trading history, which is the situation most internal innovation teams quietly find themselves in when pitching new ventures to their own boards. A working operator’s view of UNTIL, a business that pairs physical premises in Soho, Liverpool Street and Marylebone with a digital membership model. Useful for any leadership team thinking about hybrid product-and-place propositions. An unusually honest voice on neurodiversity from a founder who runs a company while managing dyslexia and dyspraxia, rather than a clinical or HR-led perspective. A high-performance sports background that translates the language of marginal gains, recovery, and team standards into the running of a commercial business, without leaning on tired sporting metaphor. Biography highlights Co-founder of UNTIL, a members business for freelance health, wellness and medical practitioners operating from three central London sites. UNTIL counts Steven Bartlett among its investors and co-founders, following a high-profile early funding round. MSc in Strength and Conditioning, Cardiff Metropolitan University. BSc in Sports and Exercise Science, St Mary’s University, Twickenham. Over a decade working inside high-performance sporting environments before launching his own ventures. Speaks publicly about dyslexia and dyspraxia, and treats neurodiversity as part of his founder identity, not a sidebar. Biography Service industries built on individual practitioners tend to share the same problem. The talent is excellent and the business model is fragile. UNTIL, the London business Daniel Chappell co-founded, was built around that gap: a members club and workspace that lets freelance health, wellness and medical professionals operate from premium premises in Soho, Liverpool Street and Marylebone without carrying the cost of their own. The route in matters. More than a decade inside high-performance sport gave Daniel an instinct for how elite practitioners work, what they need around them, and where their time is wasted. An MSc in Strength and Conditioning from Cardiff Metropolitan University and a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science from St Mary’s University, Twickenham sit behind that view. The transition from working with athletes to building a company for the people who work with athletes is the spine of the story. UNTIL has since attracted Steven Bartlett as an investor and co-founder, and has built a community of more than 300 practitioners across more than 40 disciplines. For a buyer, the value of the talk is not the milestone list. It is what the talk reveals about persuading investors with no trading history, building a founding team that can scale, and running a young company in public. Daniel is also open about managing dyslexia and dyspraxia as a founder, and speaks to neurodiversity from the inside of a working business. That perspective is useful in any leadership conversation about how organisations actually get the best out of people whose minds are wired differently from the average hire. Key speaking topics Entrepreneurship and founding-team dynamics Early-stage fundraising and investor relationships Building a business in the health and wellness sector High performance applied to commercial environments Neurodiversity in leadership and at work Team culture in young companies Resilience and personal performance for founders Ideal for Leadership offsites for scale-ups and founder-led businesses Corporate innovation, ventures and intrapreneurship teams HR and people leaders building practical neurodiversity programmes Wellbeing, benefits and employee-experience conferences Audience outcomes A clearer picture of what early-stage investors actually respond to when there is no trading history to point at. A practical framing of how a young founding team divides work, makes decisions, and survives the first eighteen months. A working model for treating neurodiversity as a commercial asset inside a team, with examples from a live business. Language for translating high-performance habits into a corporate or scale-up context without resorting to sports cliché.
