Mental Health in the Workplace

Why organisations work with Clare Kenny Her role as Global Wellbeing Lead at Burberry, responsible for a strategy covering 9,000 employees globally, gives her credibility with CHROs and operational leaders alike. She built the business case for wellbeing investment at scale, not just the human one. Prior career at YSC Consulting (part of Accenture) and MindGym grounds her frameworks in leadership psychology and behavioural science, not wellness trends or personal experience alone. Her TEDx talk reframes addiction as a spectrum behaviour present in most high-performance cultures, shifting the conversation from individual stigma to a risk organisations are actively creating through their own culture. Her work on ADHD and neuroinclusion moves beyond awareness. She helps organisations identify the specific leadership and structural conditions that enable neurodivergent talent to perform, and the ones that quietly prevent it. She moves wellbeing from a programme organisations fund to a behaviour leaders practise. That shift is what determines whether culture actually changes. Biography highlights BSc in Psychology, University of Manchester Former Global Wellbeing Lead, Burberry: led the global wellbeing strategy for a 9,000-person workforce Former Head of Client Operations (Europe), YSC Consulting (part of Accenture), leadership advisory Former Client Executive, MindGym, behavioural science learning and development consultancy TEDx speaker on rethinking addiction as a spectrum issue present in high-performance environments Clients include Warner Bros Discovery, KPMG, Ministry of Justice, Channel 4, Specsavers, Fidelity International, Avanade, and HSBC Biography At Burberry, the global wellbeing strategy covered 9,000 employees across multiple continents. Building that infrastructure required a specific kind of credibility; part organisational psychology, part leadership consultancy experience, and a willingness to name what most organisations actively avoid. Clare Kenny holds a BSc in Psychology from the University of Manchester and built her professional foundations at MindGym, a behavioural science learning and development consultancy. She moved into leadership advisory at YSC Consulting (part of Accenture), running client operations across Europe. That sequence; psychology, behavioural science, leadership consulting, shapes how she approaches wellbeing as an organisational systems problem, not a personal one. Her most defining role was Global Wellbeing Lead at Burberry, where she designed and ran the company’s wellbeing strategy across its global workforce. That experience directly informs her current work with organisations including KPMG, Warner Bros Discovery, Channel 4, and the Ministry of Justice, where her focus is on psychological safety, neuroinclusion, and the leadership behaviours that create or undermine mentally healthy cultures. Clare also speaks from personal experience of ADHD, addiction, anxiety, and grief. Her TEDx talk reframes addiction as a spectrum behaviour recognisable in most high-performance environments: not a personal failing confined to a few. That willingness to name what organisations routinely avoid is what makes her work function as more than awareness-raising. It becomes a credible basis for sustained culture change. Key speaking topics Psychological safety and workplace mental health Neuroinclusion and ADHD at work Sustainable leadership under pressure Addiction and numbing behaviours in high-performance cultures Wellbeing strategy and culture transformation Leadership resilience Ideal for CHROs and people directors designing or resetting a wellbeing strategy Senior leaders and executive teams navigating burnout or culture health HR and organisational development teams in professional services, media, financial services, and retail Organisations building neuroinclusive cultures or addressing gaps in psychological safety Audience outcomes A clearer understanding of why wellbeing strategies fail to shift culture – and what actually changes leader behaviour Practical tools for recognising and responding to psychological safety issues at team level A reframed understanding of neurodivergence and addiction as organisational conditions, not individual ones Confidence to have honest leadership conversations about mental health in high-performance settings Specific practices for sustaining performance without burning people out

Why organisations work with Helen Lawal Clinical credibility that few wellbeing speakers match: 15 years as an NHS GP, MRCGP, and a postgraduate qualification in nutrition, so the science in the room is hers, not borrowed. A rare specialism in ADHD and AuDHD in women, shaped by a private practice focused on nutrition and sustainable behaviour change for this group. Named ambassador for ADHD UK and trainer on the National Autism Training Programme, so the neurodiversity content is informed by advocacy and training work, not a topic pick-up. Television presenting experience on Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped and How to Lose Weight Well, which translates into a speaker who can hold a large room and explain science without losing it. Lived experience as a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman, which grounds the work in something buyers trust more than a deck. Biography highlights NHS GP with 15 years of clinical experience, MRCGP, MBBS (Hull York Medical School), BSc Sport and Exercise Science (University of Leeds), DFSRH, MNutr. Celebrity Ambassador for ADHD UK (charity number 1188365). Trainer on the National Autism Training Programme. Presenter on Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped; co-presenter of How to Lose Weight Well with Dr Javid Abdelmoneim. Runs a private practice supporting ADHD and AuDHD women with nutrition, eating habits, and sustainable health behaviour change. Media contributor across BBC, ITV’s This Morning, Steph’s Packed Lunch, and BBC Radio Leeds on women’s health, nutrition, and neurodiversity. Biography Most corporate wellbeing content still assumes a neurotypical employee. For the quarter of any workforce that is neurodivergent, and especially for the women diagnosed in their thirties and forties after years of being told they were simply disorganised, the standard advice lands badly. That gap is where Dr Helen Lawal’s work sits. She came to it through clinical practice. Fifteen years as an NHS GP, MRCGP-qualified, with a medical degree from Hull York Medical School and a first degree in sport and exercise science from Leeds, gave her the grounding. A postgraduate qualification in nutrition and a specialism in ADHD turned it into a defined practice area. She now runs a private service for ADHD and AuDHD women focused on eating, energy, and sustainable behaviour change, the areas where standard GP time runs out. The public-facing side has been built in parallel. She presents Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped and co-presents How to Lose Weight Well, work that has trained her to explain food science and weight management to a mainstream audience without losing the evidence base. She is a Celebrity Ambassador for ADHD UK and a trainer on the National Autism Training Programme, which keeps the neurodiversity content anchored in advocacy and training, not marketing. For an organisation, the value is a speaker who can talk credibly to HR, DEI, and wellbeing leads about what actually helps neurodivergent employees, particularly women, and who can do it in a register that works for an all-staff audience as well as a clinical one. Key speaking topics ADHD and AuDHD in women Neurodiversity in the workplace Nutrition and eating behaviour Women’s health and hormones Sustainable weight management Neuroaffirming health and wellbeing Health communication and behaviour change Ideal for HR, DEI, and wellbeing leads designing neuro-inclusive programmes Employee networks and ERGs focused on women’s health, neurodiversity, or both Healthcare, pharma, and insurance organisations briefing clinicians and communicators Conferences and internal events that need a clinician who can present to a non-clinical audience Audience outcomes A clearer picture of how ADHD and AuDHD present in women, and why late diagnosis is common Specific, evidence-based guidance on nutrition and eating behaviour for neurodivergent adults Language and framing for neuroaffirming conversations at work A realistic view of what sustainable behaviour change looks like, separate from diet-industry claims Practical signals managers and HR can use to support neurodivergent colleagues

James is a multi-bestselling author whose books span sport, comedy, mindset, performance and fitness, all delivered with his trademark honesty, humour and unfiltered storytelling. Since retiring from professional rugby in 2019, James has built a hugely successful career as a podcaster, presenter, author, DJ and high-demand public speaker. He is co-host of the smash hit weekly podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, one of the UK’s most popular sports shows with over 120,000 listeners per episode. He has also launched a host of other successful podcasts including What A Flanker, Couple’s Quarantine, Backrow Radio, and the comedy led Amuse Douche, collectively amassing more than 500 episodes and 500+ hours of content.

Why organisations work with Ben McBean He turns disability inclusion from a compliance topic into a human conversation audiences keep having after the session ends. His recovery from catastrophic injury gives mental health and resilience messaging a weight that consultants and clinicians cannot replicate. As presenter of ITVX’s “For Crown and Country,” he has a documented public-facing body of work on race and the British Armed Forces, which makes him credible for DEI briefs that demand more than personal story. He has spoken to Chelsea FC, Lloyds Bank, JP Morgan, Ernst & Young, Vodafone, and Citigroup, so he reads corporate rooms with the same ease he reads public ones. He is comfortable with young audiences, employee resource groups, and senior leadership sessions, which lets a single booking do work across an organisation. Biography highlights Former Royal Marine, 40 Commando, medically discharged in 2010 after an IED injury in Helmand Province. Overcoming Adversity winner at The Sun Military Awards 2009 for becoming the first double amputee to finish the London Marathon. Outstanding Global Achievement Award at Britain’s Best Award 2008, presented by the Prime Minister. Rotary Young Citizen Award, 2012. Presenter, “For Crown and Country,” ITVX Fresh Cuts, 2023. Corporate client list includes Chelsea FC, Lloyds Bank, JP Morgan, Ernst & Young, Vodafone, and Citigroup. Biography An IED exploded near Kajaki Dam, Helmand Province, on 28 February 2008. Ben McBean lost his left arm and right leg and was flown home on the same aircraft as Prince Harry, who later called him the “real hero” of that flight. He was twenty years old. A year later he finished the London Marathon in six hours and twenty minutes, the first double amputee to complete the course. He did it again the following year, faster. The Sun Military Awards recognised him for Overcoming Adversity in December 2009. What McBean does for organisations now grew out of what happened after the marathons. He spent years speaking in schools, at veterans’ events, and inside companies that were trying to make inclusion and mental health feel real rather than performative. In 2023 ITVX asked him to present “For Crown and Country,” a Fresh Cuts documentary on the contribution of Black British servicemen and women, which extended his platform from personal testimony into commissioned social history. Corporate audiences at Chelsea FC, Lloyds Bank, JP Morgan, Ernst & Young, Vodafone, and Citigroup have booked him for the same reason. A policy document can tell a workforce that difference is welcome. A room full of people who have just listened to McBean walks out knowing what that looks like when it is tested. Key speaking topics Disability inclusion in the workplace Mental health and recovery from trauma Resilience after catastrophic setback Diversity, equity and inclusion Veterans’ experience and reintegration Race and representation in institutional settings Ideal for DEI leads, CHROs, and employee resource group sponsors designing inclusion programming with real behavioural reach. Wellbeing and mental health leads running Mental Health Awareness Week, wellbeing conferences, or post-crisis staff events. Learning and development teams building resilience content for managers and frontline staff. Armed Forces charities, veterans’ networks, and public sector employers convening on race, service, and belonging. Audience outcomes A sharper read on how disability and difference are actually experienced inside a team, not how policy says they should be. Permission to talk about mental health and recovery in direct language, without workplace euphemism. A human reference point audiences return to when their own setback, illness, or loss arrives. Renewed conviction that inclusion is a behaviour practised in meetings, not a statement published on an intranet.

Why organisations work with Ben Campagna His training combines psychology and sports sciences, both at the University of Lausanne, with applied nutrition, neurolinguistic programming and neurobiology of addiction; that mix lets him address mental and physical performance as a single system rather than two separate briefs. A decade of practitioner experience, including seven years of corporate coaching and consulting, means his material has been calibrated in one-to-one work with senior leaders before it reaches the conference stage. His background in K1 and Thai boxing at competitive level gives him first-hand authority on stress physiology and recovery that translates well to audiences used to thinking in performance terms. Keynotes are delivered in both English and French, which is useful for pan-European and Swiss-based audiences running leadership programmes in more than one language. Named corporate engagements with organisations including Philip Morris International make him a credible voice in front of large internal audiences and not only wellness-specialist rooms. Biography highlights Swiss international speaker and executive performance coach, based in Switzerland Degree in Psychology and Sports Sciences from the University of Lausanne; additional study in nutrition and sports performance at the same institution NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner (Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Los Angeles); certified Life and Motivational Coach (INEMLA, Los Angeles) More than a decade as a practitioner; seven-plus years of corporate coaching and consulting Former K1 and Thai boxing competitor; black belt in Ninjutsu Delivers sessions in English and French Biography The performance conversation most organisations need is not about motivation. It is about how to carry chronic stress for long periods without losing judgment, health or people. Ben Campagna’s work is built around that question. He is a Swiss executive performance coach and speaker who has spent more than a decade working with leaders and teams on sustainable performance under real pressure, first as a practitioner and then in front of corporate audiences. His academic base is at the University of Lausanne, with degrees in psychology and sports sciences and additional training in nutrition and sports performance. On top of that sit certifications in NLP at practitioner and master level from the Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming in Los Angeles, life and motivational coaching from INEMLA, and coursework on the neurobiology of addiction with the American Society of Addiction Medicine. The range is unusual in a wellbeing speaker and is what allows him to link psychological patterns to physical outcomes in a way clients can act on. The early career was lived in combat sports. He competed in K1 boxing and Thai boxing and holds a black belt in Ninjutsu, which gave him direct exposure to the stress, recovery and physical-preparation regimes his corporate work now draws on. His first keynote was at age 20, his first international corporate event at 24, and he has been working with senior leaders for more than seven years. Campagna’s sessions are not wellness theatre. They use specific frameworks on chronic stress, regeneration, nutrition physiology, movement and the psychology of change, and are delivered in English and French. For leadership teams, HR functions and wellbeing sponsors looking for a speaker who takes physiology as seriously as mindset, he sits in a narrow category of practitioners who can hold both ends of the conversation in one session. Key speaking topics Chronic stress, recovery and sustainable high performance Burnout prevention in corporate leadership Resilience, self-mastery and emotional regulation Nutrition, movement and their effect on cognitive performance Psychology of behaviour change in high-pressure environments Mental health and wellbeing at work Ideal for Leadership off-sites and executive programmes focused on sustainable performance rather than generic motivation HR, chief wellbeing officer and people functions building structured burnout-prevention strategy High-pressure sectors (financial services, tech, healthcare, sport) where senior teams are running hot Pan-European and bilingual audiences requiring French and English delivery Audience outcomes A clearer understanding of how chronic stress operates physiologically and psychologically, and why standard wellness interventions often miss it Specific techniques for recovery, sleep, nutrition and movement that senior leaders can adopt without overhauling their schedule A working vocabulary for discussing mental health and burnout risk inside their own teams Practical steps for embedding stress-aware habits into leadership routines rather than relying on one-off programmes

Why organisations work with Dan Edwards He has actually led a large public-sector workforce through a sustained cultural rebuild, including pandemic-era disruption, rather than describing the work from a consultancy seat. His talks come with named, road-tested models, the 5Cs of Improvement and Repositioning Doughnuts among them, that translate cleanly out of education into any large operational workforce. He is one of the few credible male voices speaking publicly about psychological safety and male mental health in front-line teams, through his MENtal Health talk. The delivery is performer-grade. He has a stand-up and stage background that keeps a senior audience with him through difficult material on wellbeing and morale. His creative business, 52 Stone Film, is built around employment pathways for underrepresented groups, which gives him direct operating experience of inclusion as a workforce outcome rather than a values statement. Biography highlights Founder and CEO of 52 Stone Film, a Leicester-based TV and film production company built on filmmaking and education. Former Principal of a large inner-city primary school in Leicester; prior Executive school leadership roles. Drama teacher background in inner-city secondary schools; entered teaching as a mature trainee via night school after leaving school with two GCSEs. Speaker at the SSAT Primary Conference 2021 on leading a school community through the coronavirus pandemic. Host of two podcasts, Dan Edwards Has Questions and A Quiet Night’s Sleep. Stage performer and writer; “The Sound of Muzak” was nominated for the Audience Choice Award at the 2024 Leicester Comedy Festival. Biography Large workforces have absorbed five years of change, and the cultural cost is now visible in engagement scores, sickness data, and middle-management churn. Edwards spent the worst of that period running a large inner-city primary school in Leicester, holding a staff body and parent community together when the national playbook for leadership had stopped working. That job, and the executive school leadership work that followed, is the substance behind his keynote material. The 5Cs of Improvement and Repositioning Doughnuts are not theoretical frameworks; they are the models he built to keep a school improving while wellbeing was collapsing. The translation into corporate settings is direct, because the underlying tension, leading people through sustained pressure without burning them out, is the same. Edwards now runs 52 Stone Film, a Leicester production company with a deliberate mandate to build employment pathways for underrepresented groups. That gives him a second, current operating vantage point on culture, inclusion, and creative discipline inside a working business, which keeps the talks from drifting into nostalgia for the education world. The delivery is the differentiator at the senior end. A stand-up and theatre background, including a 2024 Leicester Comedy Festival nomination for “The Sound of Muzak”, means his keynotes on staff mental health and male psychological safety land in front of audiences that have heard the standard wellbeing pitch too many times. Key speaking topics Organisational culture and staff wellbeing Authentic and humane leadership Male mental health and psychological safety at work Creativity and innovation in large workforces People development and change leadership Inclusion through employment and creative pathways Ideal for HR and people directors in large, change-fatigued workforces CEOs and executive leadership teams rebuilding culture after restructure or sustained disruption Leadership development programmes and middle-management conferences Public sector, education and healthcare leadership audiences Audience outcomes A working language for the difference between performative wellbeing and substantive cultural change. Two named models, the 5Cs of Improvement and Repositioning Doughnuts, applied to their own organisational context. A more honest internal conversation about male mental health and psychological safety on the front line. Specific reference points for leading a workforce through prolonged pressure without losing it.

Meet Perri Shakes-Drayton Double European indoor Champion, World Indoor Champion and 4 years consistently British Champion, Perri was on the cusp of becoming the next superstar of GB athletics when tragedy struck. On the end of an unfortunate career-threatening injury sustained in the 2013 world championship finals, Perri went into the final as the 2nd fastest 400m hurdler in the world but on the first hurdle landed awkwardly rupturing all of the ligaments and cartilage in her knee. Numerous operations later including one after having to flee from a potential mugging and having to learn how to walk again; 4 years on and Perri achieved what many said was impossible; a return to elite-level sport. Not only did she make it back to compete for Great Britain, but she also claimed a silver medal as part of the 4x400m relay team in front of her home fans at the London 2017 World Championships. An enforced absence from the sport gave Perri the chance to engage with her passion for a healthy lifestyle and started her ‘train with PSD’ movement which sees Perri lead workout sessions around some of London’s most spectacular venues – up on the Shard, a boat on the Thames and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Having announced her retirement in 2019, Perri drew a close to her athletics career which saw her win 3 World Championships medals (one gold) and 6 European medals (3 gold) and she and her husband, fellow athlete Mike Edwards, are delighted to have welcomed their firstborn, Matthew to the family late in 2020. A star of ITV hit primetime show Dancing On Ice, Celebrity Coach Trip and now MTV Celebrity Bumps, Perri is beginning to embark on a media career where she wants to use her hugely inspiring story about never giving up and overcoming adversity to connect with and inspire others.

Meet Paula Radcliffe As a part of British sporting royalty and athletics history, Paula’s legacy extends far beyond titles and world records. Having captured the hearts and minds of the nation and sport through the early part of the noughties Paula was, and remains, a trailblazer for women’s sport globally. After graduating from Loughborough University, where she now has the track named after her, with a first-class degree in modern languages in 1996, she devoted herself full-time to her running and is now recognised as one of the finest athletes of the modern era. She held the world record in the marathon for 17 years and won the coveted London Marathon in 2002, 2003 and 2005. In November 2004 she won the New York Marathon in breath-taking style and in 2005 she took the gold medal at the World Championships in Helsinki for the same distance. These achievements make her not only the most decorated British marathon runner of all time but also one of the world’s best. As well as breaking her first world record in 2002 she was awarded an MBE that year and also won the public’s vote for the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year. Whilst she continues to enjoy her running on a casual basis, Paula now focuses her attention on other areas of sport and her legacy. As a hallmark of the BBC commentary team, she is a face, name and voice that continues to resonate within the sporting world. She is a UN Ambassador for Clean Air, a passionate advocate for young women’s access to sport and she continues to push for fairness in sport as a key member of the World Athletics Athlete Integrity Unit.

Meet Maisie Summers-Newton Born and raised in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, Maisie Summers-Newton is a local hero, national star, and world record holder and is touted by many as the future of Paralympic sport despite still being in her teenage years. The epitome of an overnight success born out of a lifetime of hard work and dedication, Maisie cemented herself in history at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, where she became a double Paralympic Champion, delivering gold medals in both the 200m medley and the 100m breaststroke. A feat she repeated in Paris in 2024. For those following Maisie’s journey, the Paralympics in Tokyo were not the start of her successes, and they will certainly not be the last of them. Competing in the S6 class, a class that includes swimmers with short stature or amputations of both arms or moderate co-ordination problems on one side of their body, as Maisie was born with achondroplasia, a condition that affects how bones develop, Maisie was inspired to take up swimming after watching the London 2012 Paralympics. She never thought that just a few years later, she would be creating her own legacy in the sport. Having broken the world record in the 100m breaststroke in May 2018 at just 15 years of age, Maisie also won the gold medal in the 200m medley at the Para Swimming European Championships later that year. She was ultimately shortlisted for the prestigious BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award. In 2019, Maisie backed up that success with another gold medal in the 200m IM at the World Para Swimming Championships in London in front of a home crowd, laying the foundations for a superb 2021. 2022 was equally as impressive as Maisie continued to break records whenever an opportunity presented itself, which included a Gold medal performance at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham that summer, another one added to the collection! Alongside swimming, Maisie is pursuing a career in teaching and has graduated from the University of Northampton. At such a young age, Maisie is just getting started, and we can’t wait to see where her abilities take her.

Why organisations work with Kadeena Cox A first-hand account of rebuilding performance from zero after a stroke and an MS diagnosis at 23, then competing at world-record level across two different Paralympic sports. Substantive content on inclusion in elite environments, drawn from founding and running the KC Academy in partnership with the Rapha Foundation and SportsAid. A track record that is publicly verifiable at the highest level of British sport: golds at Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024, plus OBE in 2022. Direct experience of the daily decision-making required when a body and a schedule cannot be relied on, which translates cleanly into leadership audiences operating under sustained uncertainty. Biography highlights Five-time Paralympic gold medallist (Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, Paris 2024) in athletics and cycling First British Paralympian since 1984 to win golds in two different sports at the same Games OBE for services to athletics and cycling (2022); MBE (2017) Founder of the KC Academy, in partnership with the Rapha Foundation and SportsAid Winner, BBC Celebrity MasterChef Series 16 (2021) World record holder, C4 500m time trial Biography The Rio 2016 Paralympics produced an outcome no British athlete had achieved in 32 years. Kadeena Cox won gold in two different sports at the same Games, in T38 400m athletics and C4-5 500m cycling, two years after a stroke and a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at the age of 23. The cycling time was faster than any able-bodied Team GB rider had produced at an Olympic or Paralympic Games. Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 added further golds, including a world record in the C4 500m time trial and a team sprint title alongside Jaco van Gass and Jody Cundy. The arc matters less for the medal count than for what it required operationally: training programmes built around a condition that does not behave predictably, and a competitive schedule that had to absorb that reality without losing edge. In 2021 Cox founded the KC Academy, which works with SportsAid and is supported by the Rapha Foundation to identify and fund cyclists from ethnically diverse backgrounds entering the British high-performance pathway. She is the only Black British cyclist to have won Olympic or Paralympic gold, and the Academy is her response to the structural reasons that statistic exists. Her speaking work draws on both strands: the discipline of competing when the body is unreliable, and the institutional work of changing who gets to be in the room at elite level. She was appointed OBE in 2022 for services to athletics and cycling, having received the MBE in 2017. Key speaking topics Resilience and recovery after diagnosis Composure and decision-making under physical and competitive pressure Inclusion as a high-performance capability Building structures for underrepresented talent Mental health and sustained performance Adapting goals when conditions change Ideal for Leadership offsites and conferences focused on resilience, change, or sustained performance under pressure DEI, talent and culture leads working on inclusion in high-performance settings Employee resource groups, particularly disability, race, and wellbeing networks Internal events marking transitions, restructures, or recovery moments Audience outcomes A concrete sense of what resilience looks like as a daily operational practice, not a value statement A reframed view of inclusion as a performance lever, grounded in the KC Academy’s specific work Honest language for talking about mental health and physical limits inside high-pressure teams Renewed confidence in setting ambitious goals when the operating environment is unstable

Why organisations work with Jodie Burrage She speaks from inside the experience of considering whether to walk away, then choosing not to. That is a different conversation from generic motivational content, and audiences feel the difference. Her examples are dated, specific and verifiable: a top-five win over Paula Badosa, a Wimbledon main-draw debut victory, an all-British WTA final, and a near full ankle ligament rupture in training that cost her a Grand Slam season. She covers mental health from the position of someone who broke down in a training session in 2024 and went back the next day. The credibility on pressure and stress comes from the record, not from a wellness framework. She is a current player, not a retired figurehead. The recovery story is live, which makes the material useful to teams facing their own in-flight setbacks rather than retrospective. Biography highlights Career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 85, reached in September 2023 Reached the 2023 Nottingham Open final, the first all-British WTA final since 1977 WTA Tour doubles champion at the 2023 Transylvania Open with Jil Teichmann First Grand Slam main-draw singles win at Wimbledon 2023 against Caty McNally Top-five career win over Paula Badosa at the 2022 Eastbourne International Represented Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup including the 2026 qualifier against Australia in Melbourne Biography Three ankle surgeries before the age of twenty would have ended most playing careers. Burrage came back from them, broke into the world top 100 in 2023, and reached an all-British WTA final at Nottingham against Katie Boulter, the first of its kind since 1977. The same year she recorded her first Grand Slam main-draw singles win at Wimbledon against Caty McNally and lifted a WTA Tour doubles title in Cluj-Napoca with Jil Teichmann. The 2024 season is the part of the story audiences tend to remember. Wrist surgery in February was followed, just as she was returning, by a near full rupture of her ATFL ankle ligament in a training session with Boulter. She missed the French Open, the grass-court season and Wimbledon. She has since said publicly that she considered retirement during that recovery and broke down mid-session asking how much fight she had left. The material she brings to corporate audiences is built on that ground. The career-high ranking of No. 85, the top-five win over Paula Badosa at Eastbourne in 2022, and her Billie Jean King Cup appearances for Great Britain through to the 2026 qualifier against Australia all sit inside a record of repeated injury and return. She talks about pressure, public accountability and the daily decision to keep going as someone still actively making that decision on the WTA Tour. For leaders who have to ask teams to perform through restructure, setback or sustained uncertainty, the value is the realism. Burrage does not present resilience as a state. She describes it as a series of small choices made on bad days, with the scoreboard public the following week. Key speaking topics Self-leadership under pressure Resilience and recovery from setback Mental health in high-performance environments Goal setting and personal accountability Performing in the public eye Team environments and individual responsibility Ideal for Sales, trading and other performance-measured teams operating under public or visible scorecards HR, talent and L&D leaders building wellbeing and mental health content with credibility beyond the wellness sector Leaders running organisations through restructure, layoffs or sustained operational pressure Early-career and high-potential audiences facing first encounters with public failure Audience outcomes A concrete account of how a current professional athlete makes the decision to continue after setback, rather than an abstract framework Language for talking about mental health in performance settings without softening it into wellness A working definition of accountability when results are visible and the next attempt is days away A reference point for resilience grounded in dated, verifiable career events rather than metaphor

Why organisations work with Annabell Fuller A live competitor’s account of decision-making under public pressure, drawn from major championship cuts at Carnoustie and a top-three finish at a USD 5 million LET event, not retrospective reflection from a retired career. Specific, sport-grounded language for what self-leadership looks like in the seconds before a high-stakes call, useful for leaders briefing teams on composure rather than wellbeing. A credible voice on the gap between physical preparation and competitive output, drawn from CrossFit-led conditioning work integrated into a professional golf schedule. A generational perspective on performing in public view at twenty-three, relevant to organisations thinking about early-career talent expected to operate under scrutiny. Biography highlights Ladies European Tour professional since 2024; tied 5th at LET Q-School to earn her card. 3rd place at the PIF Saudi Ladies International 2025, a USD 5 million LET event. Made the cut at the 2021 AIG Women’s Open at Carnoustie as one of only three amateurs that year. Three-time Curtis Cup player for Great Britain and Ireland (2018, 2021, 2022). Two-time European Ladies’ Team Championship gold medallist for England (2021, 2022). 2020 English Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Champion; University of Florida NCAA golfer 2020 to 2023. Biography A senior team will commit hundreds of hours of training to a decision that takes two seconds to execute in public. The question of what holds a performer together in that window is rarely treated as a discipline. Annabell Fuller has spent her career inside it. Fuller earned her Ladies European Tour card at Q-School in December 2023 with a tied-5th finish, then spent her rookie 2024 season learning to convert preparation into tour-level scoring. Her strongest result so far, third place at the PIF Saudi Ladies International in 2025, came at a USD 5 million LET event where the field included most of the tour’s established names. The amateur record behind her is the credential most useful to a board audience. She made the cut at the 2021 Women’s British Open at Carnoustie as one of only three amateurs, won the English Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship in 2020, and represented Great Britain and Ireland three times in the Curtis Cup. At the University of Florida she won the Florida Gator Invitational and reached the world’s top 25 in the amateur rankings. What sits underneath those results, and what she speaks about, is the conditioning behind composure: how a competitor builds a decision process that survives the moment a tournament tightens. The talks lean on CrossFit-integrated physical preparation, public accountability at twenty-three, and the specific discipline of recovering from a poor shot quickly enough to compete on the next one. Key speaking topics Composure and decision-making under public pressure Self-leadership in elite competition Physical preparation and performance conditioning Resilience after setback Team performance in individual sport Early-career performance under scrutiny Ideal for Sales leadership conferences focused on quota delivery under pressure Early-career and high-potential talent programmes inside large organisations Executive offsites built around composure and decision-making rather than strategy Employee networks and ERG events on women in performance environments Audience outcomes A working language for what composure under pressure actually involves, drawn from competition rather than coaching theory. A clearer picture of how physical conditioning links to mental performance in a demanding role. Specific examples of recovering from public setbacks fast enough to perform on the next attempt. A credible account of operating under public scrutiny at the start of a career.
