Resilience & Stress Management

Why organisations work with Antonio Fuoco A current factory Ferrari driver, still racing inside one of motorsport’s most demanding organisations. Audiences hear about high-performance teams from someone presently operating in one, not from a retired career. Won the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans overall in the Hypercar class for Ferrari, the manufacturer’s headline endurance result of the modern Hypercar era, with No. 50 AF Corse alongside Molina and Nielsen. A graduate of the Ferrari Driver Academy and former Formula 2 race winner, with a direct view into how Ferrari develops drivers, prepares them for pressure, and runs the team behind a single car. Bilingual in English and Italian, relevant for European audiences and for global organisations with Italian operations or partnerships. Biography highlights 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, Hypercar class, with Ferrari AF Corse No. 50 alongside Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen. Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 development driver. Made his F1 FP1 debut for Ferrari at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix. Ferrari Driver Academy member from 2013 onwards; promoted to Scuderia Ferrari test driver in 2019. 2013 Formula Renault 2.0 Alps champion with Prema; 2017 Formula 2 race winner at Monza, Monaco and Abu Dhabi alongside Charles Leclerc. 2025 FIA GT World Cup winner. 36 starts in the FIA World Endurance Championship with 4 wins and 18 podiums, racing the Ferrari 499P Hypercar in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons. Biography The seat of a Le Mans Hypercar at three in the morning, in the rain, after twenty hours of racing, is one of the few places where a team’s preparation and a driver’s composure are tested without margin. Antonio Fuoco was in that seat in 2024, sharing the No. 50 Ferrari 499P with Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, when the car crossed the line first overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. That win was the headline result of Ferrari’s return to top-class endurance racing. It came in the second year of the Hypercar programme, against Toyota, Porsche and Cadillac, in conditions that decided the race. Fuoco has stayed in the No. 50 car for every season of the 499P era and remains part of the Ferrari World Endurance Championship line-up alongside his Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 development role. His path into Ferrari is a useful frame for the keynote. Selected into the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2013 after the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps title with Prema, he progressed through European Formula 3, GP3, and Formula 2, where he won races at Monza, Monaco and Abu Dhabi as Charles Leclerc’s teammate in the 2017 season. He was promoted to Scuderia Ferrari test driver in 2019 and made his F1 free practice debut for the team at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix. What audiences get from Fuoco is a current view, not a memoir. He still races for Ferrari, still sits in development meetings inside Maranello, and can speak directly to how a championship-winning team prepares, recovers from a poor stint, and rebuilds trust between the driver and the engineers who put the car under him for the next stint. Key speaking topics High-performance team execution in motorsport Composure and decision-making under pressure Endurance racing and Le Mans The Ferrari Driver Academy and elite talent development Team preparation and recovery in long-format competition Ideal for Senior leadership offsites focused on team performance under pressure Sales kick-offs and commercial team events for automotive, luxury and sponsor-aligned brands European audiences and organisations with Italian operations Manufacturer and partner activations around motorsport hospitality Audience outcomes A first-hand view of how Ferrari prepares its drivers and engineers for a 24-hour race. A clearer sense of what composure looks like across long-format competition, where conditions and stints change every hour. Specific examples of how trust is built between a driver and the engineers and crew running the car. Insight from inside the Ferrari Driver Academy on how elite talent is selected, developed and tested.

Why organisations work with Rafael Camara A current-season elite competitor at the sharp end of an environment built around pressure, qualifying margins, and split-second decisions, not a retired athlete reflecting on a finished career. Direct insight into how a Ferrari Driver Academy programme structures preparation, debrief, and feedback cycles around a young driver who has to perform on schedule. A rookie-year championship in FIA Formula 3 plus the 2024 Formula Regional European title give him a documented record of converting promotion-year pressure into results. Speaks credibly to teams working in multicultural, multilingual environments, having raced and lived across European championships from a Brazilian base since his teens. Biography highlights 2025 FIA Formula 3 Champion with Trident, clinching the title with one round remaining FIA Rookie of the Year and Aramco Best Rookie Award, 2025 2024 Formula Regional European Champion with Prema Racing; first Brazilian to win the title Member of the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy 2021 WSK Champions Cup winner in karting Signed to Invicta Racing for the 2026 FIA Formula 2 Championship Biography Formula 3 has not seen a rookie campaign quite like the one Trident and Camara put together in 2025. Four feature-race victories, five pole positions, and a championship sealed with a round still to run. He took both the FIA Rookie of the Year and Aramco Best Rookie awards in the same season. The year before, he had already done something no Brazilian had managed. With Prema Racing he won the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship and set a single-season points record on the way. Two titles, two teams, two consecutive promotion years. Behind the results sits a Ferrari Driver Academy programme that has produced Charles Leclerc and a structured way of preparing young drivers for the pressure that comes with a Scuderia seat. Camara has been inside that system through his step up from karting into single-seaters, and through his moves to FREC, F3, and now F2 with Invicta Racing for 2026. For business audiences, that is the substance he draws on. How a competitive team uses debrief data, how preparation is structured when you have one qualifying lap to deliver, and what composure looks like when a season turns on a handful of corners.

Why organisations work with Timur Boguslavskiy Two GT World Challenge Europe overall titles, in 2020 and 2023, with the 2020 win making him the youngest overall champion in the series’ history. The record is verifiable and current. Active top-tier competitor in the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 class with Team WRT, sharing a BMW M4 GT3 EVO with Augusto Farfus and Yasser Shahin. The material is fresh, not retrospective. Direct experience of multi-driver endurance racing, where handover, radio discipline and shared decision-making decide results across hours of competition. A 2023 Endurance Cup title won alongside Raffaele Marciello and Jules Gounon, a useful proof point for audiences interested in how mixed-rated teams perform under pressure. Biography highlights 2020 GT World Challenge Europe overall champion, youngest in the series’ history. 2023 GT World Challenge Europe overall champion and Endurance Cup champion with Raffaele Marciello and Jules Gounon. 2019 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup Silver Cup champion with Nico Bastian and Felipe Fraga. 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans debut with Akkodis ASP in the LMGT3 class. 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship driver for Team WRT in the #31 BMW M4 GT3 EVO. FIA Silver-rated; 13 GTWC career wins and 29 GTWC Europe podiums. Biography Endurance racing exposes a leadership problem most boardrooms never see directly. Three drivers, one car, a shared radio and a result that depends on hours of disciplined handover. Boguslavskiy has spent his career inside that environment and at the top of it. In 2020 he won the GT World Challenge Europe overall championship, becoming the youngest overall champion in the series’ history. He repeated the feat in 2023, taking both the overall title and the Endurance Cup with Raffaele Marciello and Jules Gounon. Those are two of the most competitive seasons in modern GT racing, decided across short sprints and multi-hour endurance rounds. The career arc gives him recent, top-tier material. In 2024 he stepped up to the FIA World Endurance Championship with Akkodis ASP and contested the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For 2025 he joined Team WRT in the LMGT3 class, sharing a BMW M4 GT3 EVO with Augusto Farfus and Yasser Shahin, and the trio took podiums in Doha and Fuji during the season. The reason organisations book a driver of this profile is narrower than the topic label suggests. They want a credible inside view of how composure, repetition and team coordination are engineered at the level where any of those breaking down costs the result. Boguslavskiy has the current competitive record to offer that view firsthand. Key speaking topics High performance under competitive pressure Focus and composure in real-time decision-making Team coordination in multi-driver endurance racing Resilience after setbacks Risk management at speed Ideal for Leadership offsites where the agenda centres on composure and decision-making under pressure Sales kick-offs and high-performance team events looking for an authentic competitor’s perspective Automotive, motorsport-adjacent and partner-led brand events with a performance theme Audience outcomes A firsthand account of how elite drivers prepare for and recover from high-stakes moments A clearer view of how multi-person teams coordinate decisions when communication windows are short Specific examples from current FIA WEC and GT World Challenge Europe seasons, not generic motorsport anecdotes A reference point for talking about composure as a trained capability, not a personality trait

Why organisations work with Hamda Al Qubaisi She is a working case study, not a retired one. She is still competing at the front of an international single-seater field, which gives her perspective on inclusion the credibility of present tense rather than retrospect. The credential is specific and verifiable: first woman to podium in Italian F4, third in the inaugural F1 Academy championship with MP Motorsport, Red Bull Academy programme driver. Audiences can place her without an introduction. She speaks from inside the Gulf, not about it. For organisations operating in the Middle East, or building gender strategies that have to work in the region, that vantage point is unusual on the international circuit. Her message is operational, not motivational. She addresses what funding, family backing, and team-level decisions actually made the difference, which is closer to what HR and DEI leads need than a generic empowerment talk. Biography highlights Member of the Red Bull Academy Programme, representing Red Bull Racing in the 2024 F1 Academy season. Drove for MP Motorsport in the inaugural 2023 F1 Academy season, finishing third in the championship with four wins and seven podiums. First woman to score a podium in Italian F4, at Misano in 2021. First Emirati driver invited to the FIA CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy, in 2016. Featured by Nasdaq, Formula 1, Arab News, Goodwood, and Entrepreneur Middle East on women in motorsport and STEM. Ambassador for Abu Dhabi-based Yas Heat Racing; signed with AKCEL GP x PHM Racing for the 2025 F4 Middle East Championship. Biography Single-seater motorsport is one of the most consistently male environments in elite sport. The path through karting, regional Formula 4, and feeder series rewards drivers who have been visible to teams from childhood, which historically has not included girls from the Gulf. The arrival of a competitive Emirati woman in that pipeline is not a soft story about representation. It is a structural anomaly worth understanding. Hamda Al Qubaisi entered Italian F4 in 2019 and in 2021 became the first woman to podium in the championship’s history, at Misano. She won three races on home soil in the F4 UAE series and built the record that earned her a seat with MP Motorsport for the inaugural F1 Academy season in 2023, where she finished third overall with four race wins and seven podiums. The Red Bull Academy Programme signed her for 2024, putting her on the Red Bull Racing development pathway and giving her a commercial platform that few drivers, male or female, reach in their early twenties. She closed her two-year F1 Academy stint with two podiums in the final three races at Yas Marina, in front of a home crowd. What makes her useful in a corporate setting is the specificity of her account. She has spoken publicly, including at Nasdaq MarketSite, about how partnerships, family backing, and access to machinery decide who actually makes it through, rather than the abstract language of empowerment. For audiences in the Gulf, or for organisations whose inclusion work has to function in that region, she offers a first-person view from inside the pipeline that is still being built. Key speaking topics Women in male-coded high-performance environments Diversity and inclusion in motorsport and STEM Emirati and Gulf perspectives on women in sport Resilience and pressure management in elite competition Sponsorship, partnerships, and access in early careers Sustainable technology and the future of motorsport Ideal for CHROs and DEI leads designing inclusion programmes for technical, engineering, or operational workforces Organisations with a Gulf footprint building gender strategies that have to function regionally Corporate sponsorship, partnership, and brand teams in motorsport, automotive, and STEM Women’s leadership networks and graduate audiences in engineering and high-performance disciplines Audience outcomes A first-person view of what it takes for a woman to enter and hold a place in a male-coded technical field A clearer read on the Gulf context for women in sport, STEM, and competitive performance Specific examples of how sponsorship, family backing, and team decisions shape who progresses A working case for inclusion grounded in present-tense competition, not retrospective career story Honest framing of the pressure, scrutiny, and trade-offs that come with being the first or only in a room

Why organisations work with Riccardo Agostini Eight national and international titles across single-seater and GT racing, including three consecutive Italian GT Sprint championships and the Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Final. The credibility is documented, not narrated. A working understanding of how a small, specialised team performs under repeated time pressure. Pit crew, race engineer, and driver decisions land in the same second, and Agostini speaks to how that coordination is built and held. Instructor experience at Centro Internazionale Guida Sicura, the Italian advanced driving school. He coaches as well as competes, which translates into a session that can teach, not only inspire. Italian and English delivery for European corporate audiences without translation overhead. Biography highlights Three-time Italian GT Sprint champion (2019, 2020, 2021) and 2021 Italian GT Endurance champion. 2017 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America champion and Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Final winner. 2015 Porsche Carrera Cup Italia champion; 2012 Italian Formula Three champion (European and Italian series). Tested a Ferrari Formula One car in November 2012 as the Italian F3 rookie prize. Current factory-supported driver competing for Richard Mille AF Corse in the 2025 European Le Mans Series and the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans. Development driver and instructor at Centro Internazionale Guida Sicura, founded by former F1 driver Andrea De Adamich. Biography A GT car at racing speed sends information to the driver faster than most people can read a single line of text. The driver acts on it, the engineer on the pit wall reads telemetry from the same lap, and the crew prepares the stop. Three roles, one decision, repeated for two hours. That is the working environment Agostini has competed in since 2015. His titles span four manufacturer programmes. Porsche Carrera Cup Italia in 2015. Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America and the Super Trofeo World Final in 2017. Italian GT Sprint with Audi Sport Italia in 2019, 2020, and 2021, alongside the Italian GT Endurance title in 2021. He now races a Ferrari 296 GT3 for Richard Mille AF Corse in the European Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The relevance to leadership audiences sits in two places. The first is composure: how a driver handles a bad lap, a strategy call that goes against him, or a mechanical failure with thirty minutes still to run. The second is coordination: how a driver, engineer, and crew of specialists make a sequence of decisions in compressed time without re-litigating each one. Both translate cleanly to senior teams operating in markets where the response window has shrunk. Agostini also coaches. As an instructor at Centro Internazionale Guida Sicura, the high-performance driving school founded by former F1 driver Andrea De Adamich, he develops younger drivers and corporate clients. That teaching role is what differentiates him from a circuit-only speaker. He has practised the translation from the cockpit to the classroom, which is the part that most motorsport profiles describe but few have actually done.

Why organisations work with Leah Williamson She has captained the same team to two consecutive major international titles, a result that puts her in a category of one in English senior football and gives her a direct view of how a leadership group sustains performance across cycles, not just peaks. Her leadership story is built around a specific event with a public outcome: the Euro 2022 final at Wembley and the Euro 2025 final in Switzerland. She can talk about preparation, pressure, and decision-making with reference to moments the audience watched. She has led through serious setback, including a long-term ACL injury that ruled her out of the 2023 World Cup. The recovery and return to captaincy is a credible reference point on resilience that most sports speakers cannot match. Her platform extends beyond the pitch into authorship and advocacy. Her book “You Have the Power” with Pan Macmillan and her public stance on social issues during Euro 2022 give her a broader voice than a standard athlete keynote. She holds an OBE and a CBE for services to football, recognition from a credible national honours body that anchors her credibility outside the sport itself. Biography highlights Captain of the England senior women’s team since 2022, lifting the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 and Euro 2025 trophies. Named in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 Team of the Tournament, leading the competition for ball recoveries and completed passes. Arsenal Women defender since her senior debut in 2014, with FA Women’s Super League and multiple domestic cup honours. Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), 2023 New Year Honours; Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), 2026 New Year Honours. Author of “You Have the Power: Find Your Strength and Believe You Can,” published by Pan Macmillan with co-writer Suzanne Wrack. Long-term Nike athlete, with brand partnerships that include Gucci and Mastercard. Biography The Euro 2022 final at Wembley was the moment English women’s football changed its commercial and cultural standing. Leah Williamson was the captain who lifted the trophy, and three years later she was the captain who lifted it again in Switzerland at Euro 2025. No other England senior football captain, women’s or men’s, has done that. What sits underneath the result is more useful to a corporate audience than the result itself. Williamson took the armband from Sarina Wiegman in 2022 having spent more than a decade inside Arsenal’s system, from the Centre of Excellence at age nine to the senior squad in 2014. Her leadership is built on a long apprenticeship and a clear professional standard, not on charisma alone. The story is not a clean line. An ACL rupture in 2023 ruled her out of a World Cup that England reached the final of, and the comeback to fitness, form, and captaincy is the reference point she draws on when the topic is resilience under public scrutiny. Her advocacy work, from the rainbow armband at Euro 2022 to her writing for younger readers in “You Have the Power” with Pan Macmillan, places her in a small group of athletes who use the platform deliberately rather than reactively. For a senior audience, the value is specific. Williamson can describe how a captaincy group sets standards, how a team holds its nerve in the back half of a tournament, and how a leader recovers personal authority after a setback that takes them out of the room. Her two OBE and CBE honours sit alongside the trophies as a public marker that the contribution is taken seriously beyond the sport. Key speaking topics Captaincy and team leadership under pressure Building and sustaining a winning team culture Resilience and recovery from setback High-performance preparation Women in sport and the business of women’s football Purpose and platform in elite sport Ideal for Senior leadership offsites and leadership-team development sessions All-hands events tied to a major performance moment, transformation milestone, or annual kick-off Audiences focused on team culture, captaincy, and high-performance habits, including HR, talent and L&D leaders Events centred on women in leadership, sport, or business Audience outcomes A first-hand account of how a captaincy group prepares for, and holds together through, the highest-pressure moments of a tournament. A credible reference point on returning to leadership after a serious setback, drawn from her ACL recovery and return to the England captaincy. A clearer view of what separates a high-performing team culture from a high-talent group that underdelivers. A view of how a public-facing leader uses platform with intent, including the choices behind her advocacy work.

Why organisations work with Jason Roberts He is the named architect of the 2012 player boycott of the Kick It Out campaign, which produced the PFA’s six-point plan and a UK Rooney Rule for coaching appointments. He can speak to inclusion as institutional reform, not as awareness work. He runs football development across CONCACAF’s forty-one member associations, including the Coaching Convention and the Pro Licence, which gives him a working operator’s view of talent pathways and governance at scale. He built and still leads the Jason Roberts Foundation, active since 2007 across the UK and Grenada, with a documented record of programme delivery rather than badge philanthropy. His MBE was awarded for services to sport in both Grenada and London, recognition of cross-jurisdiction social impact, not single-country celebrity endorsement. He has a long broadcast track record (BBC 5 Live 606, Match of the Day 2, Sky Sports), so he handles audience and conversation with the fluency of a working presenter. Biography highlights Chief Football Development Officer, CONCACAF, leading coaching education and grassroots infrastructure across forty-one member associations. MBE, 2010 New Year Honours, for services to sport in Grenada and London. Founder and chair, Jason Roberts Foundation, established 2007, operating in the UK and Grenada. Premier League career across West Bromwich Albion, Wigan Athletic, Blackburn Rovers and Reading; full Grenada international. Director, West Bromwich Albion Football Club Limited (board appointment, April 2026). Broadcaster for BBC Radio 5 Live (606), Match of the Day 2 and Sky Sports. Biography In October 2012, a group of Premier League players refused to wear the Kick It Out t-shirt at the weekend’s fixtures. The protest had a named leader. Roberts, then at Reading, had written publicly that the campaign was under-resourced and that the league’s anti-racism work was failing the players it was meant to protect. The fallout produced concrete reform. The PFA published a six-point plan that included tougher sanctions for racial abuse and an English version of the NFL’s Rooney Rule for coaching interview opportunities. Inclusion in English football moved, however briefly, from communications campaign to procedural change. That is the through-line of his career: refusing the symbolic version of an institutional problem and pushing for the operating version. That instinct now runs at confederation scale. As Chief Football Development Officer at CONCACAF, he leads coaching education, the Pro Licence, and grassroots infrastructure across forty-one member associations from Canada to Caribbean micro-states. The work is structural. It is about who gets coached, by whom, to what standard, in which country. The credentials on paper, MBE for services to sport in Grenada and London, a Premier League career of nearly five hundred appearances, broadcast roles at BBC 5 Live and Sky, and the foundation running since 2007, are real. They matter most as evidence that the inclusion argument and the development work are not separate tracks. They are the same job done from different positions. Key speaking topics Inclusive leadership and institutional reform Race equality in elite sport and corporate parallels Talent pathways and development systems Governance and culture change in high-performance organisations Social impact through sport Leadership and resilience in competitive environments Ideal for CHROs, DEI leads and culture transformation executives examining the gap between inclusion narrative and operating change. Board and executive committees responsible for governance reform in legacy institutions. Talent and learning leaders rebuilding development pathways and progression systems. Sport, broadcast and entertainment organisations facing reputational and structural inclusion pressure. Audience outcomes A clearer picture of what it takes to convert an inclusion problem into a procedural reform with measurable obligations. A working view of how confederation-scale development systems are structured, useful by analogy for any federated organisation. Honest assessment of the personal and reputational cost of leading reform from inside a powerful institution. A grounded perspective on social impact programmes that survive past the initial press cycle.

Why organisations work with Tracey Neville She has the rare credential of turning a chronically second-tier national team into a major-tournament winner inside one Games cycle, against opponents with deeper systems and bigger budgets. She speaks credibly about selection, the hardest part of senior leadership, because she made the call to drop senior England players whose form had slipped, and held the room through it. Her coaching record holds up to scrutiny: Superleague titles at Manchester Thunder, three Netball Europe Open Championships, World Cup medals at both ends of her England tenure, and gold at the Commonwealth Games. An MBE for services to netball and a continuing senior coaching role in Australia’s Super Netball mean her authority is current, not retrospective. Biography highlights Head Coach, England Netball, 2015 to 2019. Gold medal, 2018 Commonwealth Games. Bronze medals, 2015 and 2019 Netball World Cups, as Head Coach. Head Coach, Manchester Thunder; Netball Superleague champions, 2012 and 2014. MBE, 2016, for services to netball. 81 senior caps for England as a player; bronze at the 1998 Commonwealth Games and 1999 World Championships. Sky Sports netball pundit; Vitality ambassador; current senior coaching role in Australia’s Super Netball. Biography England had never beaten Australia or New Zealand to win a major netball title. In April 2018, on the Gold Coast, the team Tracey Neville had taken over three years earlier as an interim appointment beat Australia in the final by a single goal. That result reset the order of a sport that two countries had owned for forty years. The job she walked into in 2015 was a programme that had earned bronzes and lost finals. Neville had a Superleague pedigree from Manchester Thunder, where she had won the domestic title twice, and 81 England caps as a player, but no senior international head coaching record. She made the appointment permanent inside six months by taking England to bronze at the 2015 World Cup, then spent the next two years rebuilding selection, fitness standards, and the squad’s tolerance for being told it was not yet good enough. What she offers corporate audiences is the substance of how that rebuild was done. The recognisable parts of high-performance coaching, marginal gains and culture work, sit underneath harder questions about who plays, who is dropped, who is told the truth about their form, and how a head coach holds the room when those decisions are unpopular. She is direct about the cost of those calls, including her own, which gives senior leaders a usable account of selection and accountability rather than a motivational set piece. Her authority is also current. After leaving England in 2019 she moved into senior coaching roles in Australia’s Super Netball, the strongest domestic league in the sport, which is the same competitive environment she beat at the Commonwealth Games. She holds an MBE for services to netball and continues as a Sky Sports pundit on the international game. Key speaking topics High-performance team building under competitive pressure Selection and accountability in senior leadership Leading through transition and interim mandates Resilience and composure in decisive moments Inclusive team culture in elite environments Succession and bench strength Ideal for Executive teams rebuilding standards after a period of underperformance HR and talent leaders working on selection, succession, and bench depth Sales and commercial leaders running through a major competitive cycle Women’s leadership programmes and senior development cohorts Audience outcomes A concrete account of how a head coach makes and communicates hard selection decisions A working model of building winning culture without abandoning standards under pressure Honest perspective on the personal cost of accountability at the top of a programme Practical reference points for leading a team through a defined competitive cycle

Why organisations work with Emma Hayes She has built two elite teams from different starting points: a Chelsea side she took from mid-table to seven Women’s Super League titles, and a US national team she led to Olympic gold within ten matches of taking charge. Her leadership thesis is published and tested. A Completely Different Game sets out a working method built around team, staff and standards, not personality. She speaks from a current operational seat, not a retired one. Buyers get a working head coach describing live decisions under pressure, not retrospective career narrative. Named The Best FIFA Women’s Coach (2021) and winner of the inaugural Johan Cruyff Trophy (2024); the formal recognition tracks the operational record. She is fluent in the language of senior business audiences from regular broadcast and conference work, including Sky and BBC punditry and the Leaders in Sport platform. Biography highlights Head Coach, United States Women’s National Team, 2024 to present. Manager, Chelsea FC Women, 2012 to 2024; seven WSL titles, five FA Cups, five domestic doubles. Olympic gold medal with the USWNT, Paris 2024. The Best FIFA Women’s Coach, 2021; inaugural Johan Cruyff Trophy, 2024. OBE (2022) and MBE (2016) for services to football. Author, A Completely Different Game: My Leadership Playbook (2024), expanded from the Audible Original Kill the Unicorn. Biography Chelsea FC Women were a mid-table side in 2012. By the time Emma Hayes left in 2024, they had won seven Women’s Super League titles, including five in a row, alongside five FA Cups and multiple League Cups. The rebuild was not the result of a single tactical idea. It was the product of how she organised the staff around her, the standards she held, and the way she handled players, ownership and scrutiny over twelve seasons. The work translated directly. Appointed Head Coach of the United States Women’s National Team in 2024, she led the side to Olympic gold in Paris in her tenth match in charge, winning every knockout game 1-0. The body of evidence sits across two contexts, club and country, with very different constraints. The leadership method travelled. Her book, A Completely Different Game: My Leadership Playbook, sets out the underlying argument. Published in 2024 as the print expansion of the Audible Original Kill the Unicorn, written with Michael Calvin, it dismantles the idea of the lone great leader. Sustained performance, she argues, is built by the staff around the leader and the culture the leader is willing to enforce. The book is grounded in operational practice, not theory. Formal recognition has followed the record. She was named The Best FIFA Women’s Coach in 2021, won the inaugural Johan Cruyff Trophy for the best women’s coach in the world in 2024, and was appointed OBE in 2022 after an MBE in 2016. She continues to coach at the top of the international game, which is what gives her speaking work its weight: the material is live, not retrospective.

Why organisations work with Dion Dublin A first-hand account of returning to elite performance after a life-threatening broken neck in 1999, with the medical and professional detail that gives the story credibility beyond inspiration. Twenty years inside top-flight football dressing rooms at Manchester United, Coventry, Aston Villa and the England squad, used as material for senior-team conversations on cohesion and standards. A working portfolio career that few sports speakers can match: BBC daytime presenter on Homes Under the Hammer since 2015, regular pundit on Match of the Day and Final Score, and inventor of the Dube percussion instrument used by Stevie Wonder. Comfortable on stage as host, panel chair or interviewer, drawn from a decade of live broadcast work, which makes him useful for full event hosting rather than only keynote slots. Biography highlights Premier League Golden Boot, 1997-98 season, shared with Chris Sutton and Michael Owen on 18 league goals. Four senior England caps; clubs included Manchester United, Coventry City, Aston Villa, Norwich City, Leicester City and Celtic. Returned to top-flight football within months of a broken neck sustained playing for Aston Villa in December 1999; helped the club to the FA Cup final the following April. Presenter on BBC One’s Homes Under the Hammer since 2015; pundit for BBC Football Focus, Match of the Day and Final Score. Inventor of the Dube, a four-sided percussion instrument used by Stevie Wonder and the Official England Supporters Band. Board member of Cambridge United F.C. since July 2021. Biography A broken neck in December 1999 should have ended a football career. Dion Dublin ran headfirst into a Sheffield Wednesday defender playing for Aston Villa, fractured three vertebrae and underwent surgery in which part of his pelvis was used to replace a crushed bone in his neck. He was back in the Villa side within months and helped the club to the FA Cup final the following April. He still plays with a titanium plate in his neck. That recovery sits inside a career that began at Cambridge United, took in Manchester United, Coventry City, Aston Villa, Norwich City, Leicester City and Celtic, and produced the Premier League Golden Boot in 1997-98, shared with Chris Sutton and Michael Owen. Four England caps followed. The material he uses with senior teams is drawn directly from that period: how high-performing dressing rooms hold each other to a standard, how players manage themselves through long injuries, and what happens to identity when the playing career ends. The post-playing career is unusual. Since 2015 Dublin has been a regular presenter on BBC One’s Homes Under the Hammer and a pundit on BBC Football Focus, Match of the Day and Final Score. He invented the Dube, a four-sided wooden percussion instrument that has been bought by Stevie Wonder and the Official England Supporters Band. In July 2021 he joined the board of Cambridge United, the club where he started. He finished fourth on Celebrity MasterChef in 2021. For corporate audiences the practical value is twofold. He speaks credibly on resilience and team performance from inside the experience rather than as commentary on it. He also hosts well, with a decade of live broadcast practice behind him, which makes him a strong fit for award nights, conference plenaries and panel sessions where a recognisable presence carries the room.

Why organisations work with Danny Webber He played professionally across four divisions, from Manchester United’s youth setup through Premier League football with Sheffield United to non-league title-winning sides at Salford City. He has lived the full spectrum of elite team environments, not one rarefied tier of it. He has reinvented himself twice since retiring as a player: as a pundit and co-commentator working regularly across BBC Sport, Sky Sports, MUTV, ITV and talkSPORT, and as founder and CEO of his own sports agency, Autograph Sports Management. Through Autograph he mentors young athletes on building professional and personal brands, which gives him a current operator’s view of talent development, not retired-player nostalgia. His broadcast career means he can hold a room, run a Q and A, and host a panel without external moderation, which materially expands how he can be used at an event. Biography highlights Former professional footballer for Manchester United, Watford, Sheffield United, Portsmouth, Leeds United (loan), Accrington Stanley and Salford City. Helped Sheffield United win promotion to the Premier League in the 2005-06 season. England Under-20 international. Northern Premier League Division One North champion (2014-15) and Premier Division play-off winner (2016) with Salford City. Pundit and co-commentator for BBC Sport, Sky Sports, MUTV, ITV Sport, talkSPORT and BBC 5 Live. Founder and CEO of Autograph Sports Management, a sports and commercial agency representing players and building athlete brands. Biography A teenager scoring 16 goals in 11 youth appearances for Manchester United is normally on a single track. Webber turned down a three-year contract at Old Trafford at the end of the 2002-03 season to chase senior football elsewhere. The decision shaped everything that followed: a deliberate move toward first-team minutes over reputation. What came next was a Premier League career built around adaptability. Watford, where he scored 21 goals across 72 games. Sheffield United, where his goals contributed to promotion to the Premier League in 2005-06. Portsmouth, Leeds United and Accrington Stanley followed, then a title-winning run with Salford City in the Northern Premier League. Few players cover that range of clubs and divisions inside one career. The second act has been the harder one. After retiring he built a media presence as a pundit and co-commentator across BBC Sport, Sky Sports, MUTV, ITV and talkSPORT, and founded Autograph Sports Management, a player representation and brand-building agency. He now mentors young athletes through the same career decisions he made himself. That is the substance he brings to a corporate audience. Not the highlight reel, but the working knowledge of how elite teams hold together, what reinvention costs when the first career ends, and how to keep performing when the conditions keep changing.

Why organisations work with Andy Cole A Premier League Hall of Fame career inside one of football’s most demanding dressing rooms, used to ground sessions on standards, feedback and accountability with detail rather than slogan. Five Premier League titles and the 1999 Champions League final, including a goal tally of 121 for Manchester United, give his team-performance material the weight of evidence. Personal authority on resilience through a 2017 kidney transplant and the founding of the Andy Cole Fund with Kidney Research UK, used in sessions on recovery, mental health and the cost of carrying on. Active Manchester United Ambassador and broadcast pundit, comfortable in moderated panels, post-dinner Q and A and corporate hospitality formats where the audience expects fluency under questioning. Biography highlights Premier League Hall of Fame inductee (2024). 187 Premier League goals; Premier League Golden Boot winner 1993/94 with 34 goals in a 42-game season. Five Premier League titles, FA Cup honours and the 1999 UEFA Champions League with Manchester United. 15 senior England caps; PFA Young Player of the Year, 1994. Author of “Fast Forward: The Autobiography”, Hodder & Stoughton, 2020. Founder of the Andy Cole Fund with Kidney Research UK, launched 2020 with a personal pledge of £250,000. Biography The 1999 Manchester United dressing room is the most studied team environment in English football. Andy Cole spent six years inside it, scoring 121 goals and winning five league titles, an FA Cup and the Champions League final that completed the Treble. The standards inside that group, and the cost of meeting them, are the raw material he draws on when he speaks to senior teams. His Premier League career produced 187 goals across Newcastle, Manchester United, Blackburn, Fulham, Manchester City and others, the Golden Boot in 1993/94 with 34 goals in a 42-game season, and induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2024. The numbers matter for credibility, but the more useful content is what they describe: a working life judged in public, every week, for nineteen years. In 2015 he was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. By 2017 his kidney function had fallen to seven per cent and his nephew donated the organ that saved his life. He has since spoken openly about the mental health collapse that followed, founded the Andy Cole Fund with Kidney Research UK, and pledged £250,000 of his own money toward research into transplants and patient wellbeing. His 2020 autobiography “Fast Forward” set out the same arc in print: standards, friction, recovery. For corporate audiences, the offer is reflective rather than instructional. He works best in conversation, in moderated panels, and in after-dinner formats where senior leaders want a serious account of performance and recovery from someone who has lived both.
