Our June book of the month is “Global Influence: Simplify, Improve and Amplify Your International Leadership Impact”, by International Communication and Influence speaker Jose Ucar.

What makes a leader influential on a global scale? What does it mean to communicate effectively across borders, cultures, languages, and accents, and how do you master this complex art? If you are asking yourself some of these questions, then this book is for you.

Over the course of the year, we often get asked my schools and educational institutes to help supply a speaker for one of their events.

These vary from inset days, annual awards presentations to sixth form lectures. We work with a number of speakers that deliver talks in schools, but these are a few of more popular ones and some of the subject areas they cover.

May marked the end of the football season and depending on who you support a time to celebrate success or maybe face up to relegation. Or as a West Ham fan like me a season of mediocrity.

Whilst the football fixtures will be out relatively soon, if you cannot wait, we work with a number of inspirational football related speakers who share their own lessons and experience from the sport.

This is our May 2025 speaker news round up this month featuring feedback on James Poulter, Sir Bill Beaumont, Maria Conceicao and George King; we welcome James Lambert to the website; a new showreel from Andrew Bryant, updates from Mark Julian Edwards and Danny Crates and news of a podcast with Bennett Arron.

Our May book Of the Month is “The Science of Racism: Everything you need to know but probably don’t – yet” by Professor Keon West, a keynote speaker on identity, prejudice and representation.

Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades’ worth of clear, factual, rigorous science – the data that reveals truths about racism that are shocking and tragic, but also (somehow) funny and entertaining.

Ken Valledy is a seasoned entrepreneur, speaker and author of The Startup Lexicon, a must-read guide for navigating the language of startups.

Ken has recently developed a new speech and initiative called “The Great Escape” on how to start your own business.

Pride Month is once again taking place in June this year.

In the United Kingdom, the first official Pride march took place in London in 1972. Since then, Pride Month has grown in significance, and is a celebration that recognises the LGBTQ+ community and their contributions to society. Marked by events and activities, Pride Month helps to promote inclusivity, help educate the public, and celebrate the diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities.

If you are looking to hold an event to mark Pride these are a few of the speakers we work with you may wish to consider.

We had an enquiry the other day for a speaker on Leadership in Uncertain Times and it is not the first time either, that someone has looked for a speaker to help motivate their team through this period of ambiguity and instability

Given the times we find ourselves in how can you create a “we’re in this together mindset” and build trust and resilience within you team. These a few speakers we work with that speak on uncertainty.
