Scamp News

This is our June 2024 speaker news and this month we feature feedback on Zoe Lyons, JJ Chalmers, Matt Ellison, and Paul Sinha; we welcome Benita Matofksa to the website; we have updates from Justin Hughes and Erica Farmer; and details on Sally Orange’s next challenges!  

Another area we get asked for speakers on is Education.

Working in an educational environment, these speakers can offer insights into the future of education but also provide training, inspiring stories, and practical advice that can be used and transferred to organisations outside the education sector. 

These are just a few of the education-related speakers we work with that I hope you will find inspiring 

The Technology landscape is constantly evolving and to many, it might be hard to keep up. How many people actually know what Generative AI is? Or what Deepfake is or what the Metaverse is? How many of you know what Enshittification is? 

These are just four of the terms that feature in the “The Start Up Lexicon” authored by Ken Valledy and Eamonn Carey, speakers on the world of start-ups, innovation, and collaboration 

With simple definitions of the most frequently used words, alongside stories that give more context and colour, the Startup Lexicon is an incredible primer for anyone interested in one of the biggest and fastest growing sectors in the business world.

Self-leadership can be defined as recognising, exercising, and improving your own leadership. It is about your own qualities and how through your own thoughts and actions you can reach your goals successfully and build a satisfying life.

The emphasis is on self and whilst you can get outside perspectives it is down to you to make your own decisions and to motivate yourself to act.

These are a few of the speakers we work with who speak on Self Leadership.

Our May Book of the Month is “ Happy Economics: Why the Happiest Workplaces are the most Successful” by Lord Mark Price – businessman, speaker and founder of WorkL.

In Happy Economics, business expert Mark Price clearly demonstrates why the opportunity represented by happiness is huge for businesses. Using real world examples of those organizations who have got it right, he explains what happy economics is, why happiness metrics matter, connects high happiness with high performance, explores how to create happy teams and he creates a corporate happiness plan that can be used by any business.

As well as seeing a rise in the number of enquiries for mental health speakers, we have also had a number of enquiries about confidence.

These enquiries have varied from being more confident in terms of presenting in front of other people, to having more self-confidence and belief in your own ability and on body confidence.

If you looking for a speaker around any of these areas of confidence these are just a few of the speakers we work with.

This is our May 2024 speaker news and this month we feature feedback on Josh Littlejohn, Anthony Bennett, Michael Barton, and Tobi Asare; we welcome Lord Mark Price to the website; we have updates from Anna Hemmings, Alison Edgar, and Andrew Byrant and news of awards for both Terence Mauri and Lurata Lyon.

He is the former secondary school headteacher who heard the word ‘snowflake’ once too often to describe his former pupils.
