Are you looking to plan a conference this year and looking for a conference host or facilitator? Or looking for someone to interview your CEO on stage in a fireside chat format?

We have supplied and worked with a number of experienced conference hosts and journalists that have hosted half day and full day conferences and these are just a few of them we would recommend

Our book of the Month for March 2026 is “The Uncertainty Toolkit: How to Feel Calmer, Happier and More Confident in an Uncertain World” by Sam Conniff and Katherine Templar Lewis.

Drawing on the world’s most extensive study into ‘uncertainty tolerance’, led with professors from University College London, the book explains the science behind how we cope with the unknown.

On the 12th April 2026 I am taking part in the Brighton Marathon and a big part of the reason I do them is essentially I just really like getting the medal and t-shirt at the end!

More seriously though I have actually found exercise really helps me personally with my mental health and helps me switch off from the day to day. The 11th May to the 17th May marks Mental Health Awareness Week and this years theme focuses on “Action,” encouraging individuals and communities to take practical steps to support mental health, rather than just raising awareness.

If you are looking planning an event this week and looking for a speaker these are a just a few speakers we work with who we would recommend.

Darren Edwards has faced life’s greatest uncertainties head-on, drawing from his experience leading record-breaking expeditions and overcoming a life-changing injury.

After a time in the armed forces, and pursuing his mountaineering passion, Darren trained as a teacher. Shortly after qualifying, he was climbing in North Wales when the ledge he stood on fell away, and he plunged over 100 feet. Lucky to survive, he broke his back in two places, severing his spinal cord. Darren was paralysed from the chest down. As well as dealing with the trauma of his new circumstances, he faced a gruelling rehabilitation regime and an uncertain future.

An incredible inspiring speaker Darren has allowed us to share this recent blog he wrote about Staying Accountable.

This is our March 2026 speaker news this month featuring updated biogs and speaking topics from George King, Nick Saunders, Monty Halls and Phil Olley; we welcome Seb Sheppard, Michelle Mills-Porter and Charlie Martin the website; have updated showreels from Rob Hosking and Paul Tolley; feedback on Anthony Bennett and Nigel Taberner and news on an article from Andy Lopata.

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
