Scamp News

Whilst we primarily operate as a Speaker Bureau we do have a number of exclusive speakers we managed too and are thrilled to act as exclusive agents to the following speakers.

This is our September 2025 speaker news round up this month featuring feedback Michael Maisey, Marc Hogan, Sally Orange, Lord Coe and Gary Hibberd; we welcome Retail Champion Clare Bailey to the website: we have updates from Anj Handa, Lurata Lyon and Richard Newman, some details on Sina Kahen new book and Alex Wood being part of the team on Scam Secrets. 

How often do you get a feedback survey after just making one phone? Or every time you order something online you are expected to rate service out of 10?

But replying to a form is different to receiving feedback face to face. You might be asked to deliver feedback on someone’s performance – how do you deliver that with empathy? How might you handle negative feedback.  

These are two speakers we work with who offer some insights into delivering feedback and how to handle negative feedback

Richard Gerver came to prominence when, as a headteacher he turned around a failing school in the UK in under two years. Richard was referred to as “The Walt Disney of The Classroom” by the UK media, and went on to win a multitude of international awards including a UNESCO award for leadership and innovation, Global Gurus Top 30 Thinker, and The National Teaching Awards, Headteacher of the Year.

Richard has since taken to the global stage where he uses his trademark humour and natural style to deliver inspirational and authentic speeches on numerous topics, including change, resilience and leadership. Most recently his focus has turned to Curiosity and he has kindly shared with us some details on his new talk “The Currency of Curiosity”.

Our September Book of the Month is “Not All Heroes Wear Capes” by inspirational speaker and presenter Jono Lancaster.

Jono Lancaster is a passionate disability campaigner, public speaking to audiences around the world and engaging young people through talks in schools, encouraging all to find their own self-love alongside tolerance, acceptance and kindness.

Cybersecurity, Cybercrime, Cybertrauma and Cyber-Scammers these are just a few areas of concern for companies and individuals a like.

We work with a number of cyber related speakers that share their expertise in these fields or share their own personal experiences of cyber related issues and the lessons they have learned and what we should be aware off and possibly how to prevent incidents happening again.

Phil Olley is a sought-after inspirational speaker and international author, who speaks on Self-Leadership, Mental Toughness, High Performance Teams, and Overcoming adversity

I first met Phil shortly after we set up Scamp Speakers and has been one of the supportive speakers we have worked with. Constantly evolving his talks with new ideas, Phil is a trusted coach to many business leaders and he kindly took some time out to answer some of our questions for our speaker Focus series.

The 10th of September is World Suicide Prevention Day. Organised by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) the purpose of this day is to raise awareness around the globe that suicide can be prevented.

Ahead of the day Rob Hosking, a former front line police officer and now international TEDx Motivational Speaker has kindly allowed us to share the article he has written about how psychologically safe workplaces can save lives and shares some of his own story too.
