We are very fortunate to work with a number of speakers who have some incredible stories to tell. Whilst it is fantastic to hear their stories firsthand at your events, some of these stories have also either featured in documentaries or become feature-length films.

These are just a few examples of speakers’ stories that have been turned into movies or feature-length documentaries you might like to watch.

The charity’s CEO, is inspirational speaker, Michael McGrath* who said “With the country’s obsession with food programmes such as Bake Off and MasterChef seemingly never ending, and a growth reported in the popularity of shared food experiences, now is the perfect time to build momentum for November’s Meatball Month.”

To help make Muscle Dreams come true, and all you need to do is host your own meatball dinner party and ask your guests to make a donation. More information can be found on their website – https://meatballmonth.com/

Our November Book of the Month is “From Behind the Mask” by international speaker, leadership trainer, and Paddington Train Crash Survivor Pam Warren. In October 1999, Pam Warren’s life was turned on its head when she sustained horrific injuries in the Paddington rail crash. Unwittingly, she became the public face of the disaster. Now, over a decade on from that terrible event, From Behind the Mask charts the true inside story of Pam’s journey from victim to survivor and campaigner. 

With many organisations and individuals still learning about ChatGPT and AI and trying to understand what impact it is going to have (or is having) on how we work, James Poulter has developed a new talk to help clients find out some of those answers.

Established and launched by the United Nations in 1992, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities takes place on 3 December each year. The day recognises visible and invisible disabilities and promotes the importance of inclusion in life and the workplace.

This is our October Speaker News round-up this month featuring feedback on Alan Chambers, Nigel Taberner, James Poulter, and Michael Duberry; we welcome Pam Warren to our website; updates on new books from Warren Knight and Bianca Miller Cole, updated biogs from Sam Conniff and Josh Littlejohn, and news on Andrew Pain’s new podcast.
