Scamp News

April marks Stress Awareness Month. Held every April since 1992 it aims to raise awareness of the causes of stress and how to ease and prevent stress. 

Stress is one of the most common causes of long-term work absence in the UK and the awareness month is also used to guide how employers can help support their staff and provide practical steps that can be taken to address stress and help staff feel more positive and productive at work.

If you are planning an event to mark Stress Awareness Month, here are some speakers we work with that might be of interest.

Our book of the month for April is “Heard the one about Identity Theft” by BAFTA-shortlisted Scriptwriter, Comedian and Television Presenter, Bennett Arron. Bennett had become one of Britain’s first major victims of Identity Theft and the book tells his story.

Everyone at Scamp Speakers would like to wish the very best of luck to two of the speakers we work with who are embarking on incredible challenges this year. Dan Keeley is running to Rome this April and later in the year, Penny Mallory will be rowing across the Atlantic – both supporting some fantastic charities.

April 2023 marks our 4th anniversary and I wanted to say a huge thanks to all the clients who have booked with us during that time and to all the speakers who have spoken for us over those four years.

From our first booking, who was Joanna Rowsell Shand, to our most recent, Darren Edwards (who we booked just yesterday at the time of writing) it has been a fun, challenging, and somewhat constantly changing journey so far. 

This is our March speaker News round-up. This month we feedback on BJ Cunningham, Sue Firth, Andrew Pain, Richard Newman, and Caspar Berry; feature new showreels from Alison Edgar, Chris Moon, and Monty Halls, Podcasts from Andy Lopata, and Chris Roebuck; we welcome Akil Hunte to the website and a huge congratulations to Darren Edwards.

With Open-source AI platforms like ChatGPT being the talk of the day, how can they help your business serve customers in 2023 James Poulter is the founder and CEO of Vixen Labs one of the UK’s leading Voice Technology companies and is a thought leader and speaker on Innovation Culture, the Future of Work, and Emerging Technologies and has developed a new talk on the AI Battle Ahead.

Our books of the month for March are “How Leaders Make it Happen” and “The Inner Athlete” by high-performance speaker Martin Robert Hall. Martin Robert Hall is an award-winning speaker, author, and high-performance coach. He consults to top athletes, organisations, and ambitious individuals helping them to consistently perform at the highest level.

Monday 21st May 2023 to Sunday 21st May 2023 marks Mental Health Awareness Week. The week is an annual event where the whole of the UK is encouraged to come together to focus on achieving good mental health. The theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is “Anxiety” and the Mental Health Foundation hopes the week can help improve the public’s understanding of anxiety and share some of the things that can help prevent it from becoming a problem.

If you planning an event these are a few of the speakers who can speak on anxiety or share their own experiences of anxiety.
