Social mobility refers to the ability of an individual or a family to move up or down the social and economic ladder within a society and within the workplace this refers to an individual’s ability to move upward or downward within the hierarchy or structure of a company or organisation.

We work with a few speakers that speak on social mobility and what companies can do fulfil their social and moral responsibility to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to succeed, regardless of their background.

As we enter the summer months, many of us will be taking a well-deserved break and recharging after a busy first six or seven months of the year.

However, you might also be using this time to start planning your Autumn events. Traditionally September to early December can be a busy time for events and with a number of awareness months/days too, many of you might be looking for speakers for those events.

With that in mind, these are a few areas we can help you with if you are looking for a speaker for your event in the latter part of the year.

National Inclusion Week takes place in 2025 from the 15th to the 21st September and is a yearly event that is dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to build inclusive workplaces.

Established by Inclusive Employers, this week aims to raise awareness about the importance of inclusion and diversity, encouraging organisations and individuals to take meaningful actions towards creating more inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and respected. The week is a great opportunity to discuss intersectional issues and across all communities – across gender, race, religion, LGBTQ+, disabilities, carers and social mobility.

If you planning an event that week these are a few speakers we would recommend.

Paula Reid has Yacht Raced around the world and Skied full distance to the South Pole and is an inspiring and motivational speaker. More than that, Paula uses her adventure experience and Masters Degree in Applied Positive Psychology to help organisations survive, cope, and thrive in uncertain and challenging conditions via her Adventure Psychology talks.

I first started working with Paula back in 2008 and its always been a pleasure to work with her over the years. She very kindly answered a few questions for our Speaker Focus this month.

This is our June 2025 Speaker News round up this month featuring feedback on Darren Edwards, Jono Lancaster, Maria Conceicao, Anthony Bennett and Dr Amit Patel; we welcome Dr Amrita Mukherjee and Geffrye Parsons to the website; have updates from Tracy Hill, Katy Ashworth and Trewin Restorick and news on Alex Staniforth’s 446 Challenge.

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.
