Are you looking for plan a “Lunch & Learn” event or could be something you may wish to introduce into your organisation?

Typically, a “lunch and learn” is a workplace session during lunch where employees eat and learn and hear from a speaker on a specific topic. Usually, a very informal setting, the sessions can cover job-related skills, or personal development like wellness and mental health. 

These are a few speakers that have done sessions for us in this environment or could be suitable for such a session.

Throughout the course of year there is a number of speaking topics that come up more than others and one of the more popular subjects is Equality in the work place.

We work with a number of speakers that share their experiences and insights on diversity, inclusion, gender, race, disability, and LGBTQ+ rights to inspire change and foster equitable environments in workplaces, schools, and communities

This is our February 2026 speaker news round up this month featuring feedback on Alan Chambers, Anthony Bennett, James Poulter, Richard McCann and Mickey Wilson; we welcome Leon Bamforth & Georgie Frost to the website: we have updates from Ollie Cook, Danny Crates and Priya Lakhani and new videos from Jose Ucar and Maria Conceicao.

Our book of the Month for February 2026 is “Behind the I’m Fine: the Truth about modern day Masculinity” by Chris Britton, a speaker and podcast host on appreciation, empathy and Men’s Health.

This book reports the alarming statistics regarding men’s physical and mental health and includes personal stories facing men today. Crucially, it offers practical and positive solutions to the growing crisis faced by males of all ages.

“Monday Tuesday Happy Days……” one of things we have noticed is that since the pandemic and with more people working remotely (and some people on 4 day weeks) there seems to be more events held now on Monday and Tuesday than before and less on a Friday.

The working week has changed and so has the workplace and clients are needing to adapt to new ways of working with remote teams, many different generations and new technologies.

These are a few speakers that cover some of the different aspects of the future of work.

As I write this my beloved West Ham are struggling in the Premier League and many fear that relegation is on the cards. BUT – like any true fan you have to believe their they can turn it around.

With this not-so-subtle link, whilst we may not be able to offer West Ham a manager (or players) to turn the fortunes around, we do work with a number of speakers who can offer their insights into turning around a business – so if you looking for a speaker on business turnaround these are a few we would recommend.
