With the football returning it seems appropriate that our book of the month for August is “Edge: Leadership Secrets From Football’s Top Thinkers” by football journalist and keynote speaker Ben Lyttleton.

We are delighted to welcome three new speakers to our website – Andy Budd, an internationally renowned designer, turned tech investor; Pam Burrows, a People Booster and an inspirational speaker that speaks on managing stress, avoiding burnout, and creating a wellbeing culture and Dan Edwards a former Headteacher and Leadership Speaker who held leadership roles in both the secondary and primary sector, and is now repositioning doughnuts!

Whilst the summer is traditionally a time when fewer corporate events are taking place, it also happens to be a time when many start (or continue) their planning for their Autumn events. From annual conferences, awards events, and Christmas parties, September onwards has always been a busy time of year. If you are planning for the Autumn and looking for some speakers for your events here are some areas we can help in. 

As we head into August, traditionally a quieter month for events, this is our July Speaker News round-up. This month we have some testimonials on James Poulter, Anthony Bennett, Ben Fogle, and Roger Bootle; new showreels from Alex Barker and Adrian Webster; updated biogs from Nick Jankel and Darren Edwards and we welcome Lurata Lyon and Ben Lyttleton to the website

Founded by Inclusive Employers, National Inclusion Week will run from the 26th of September to the 2nd of October 2022. The week is designed to celebrate inclusion and promote inclusive workplaces. Now in its 10th year, its theme this year is “Time to Act: The Power of Now”. If you are planning an event to mark that week, these are a few suggestions of speakers we would recommend.

Our July Book of the month is the “The Little Book of Belonging” by Jackie Handy, a keynote speaker on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. With words to motivate you and questions for self-reflection, The Little Book of Belonging provides you with simple ideas spanning 52 weeks, that will have a positive impact on your life and on the lives of those around you.

Inspirational and Business Speaker Phil Olley, has recently devised several new talks that are aimed at young adults and those working in the educational or healthcare management – Stepping up the Start Line and Self Leadership for Busy Professionals in Challenging Times. 

We often get asked can we book someone who is not on our website and the answer to this is YES. Whilst we have about 300 speakers on our website and add new names relatively frequently, we also have an extensive database of further contacts that allow us to book a wider range of speakers. Below are just a few examples of speakers we have worked with who are not on our website but have recently done speaking events for us.
