Jackie Handy

Jackie Handy is a dynamic speaker and expert in workforce engagement, dedicated to transforming organisational culture. With over two decades of experience in executive recruitment, leadership development and inclusion, Jackie brings fresh perspectives and offers practical strategies for driving sustainable change.

In her role as Head of Management Development for one of the worlds largest recruitment companies, Jackie challenged the conventional approach to leadership development and was instrumental in launching several successful, transformative learning experiences across the organisation. Companies work with her now because she combines creative thinking with research and data, always seeking out new, fresh perspectives for business improvement.

Jackie’s experience and future-focused mindset combined to inspire her ground-breaking A-Frame model, which provides a blueprint for true cultural transformation in the modern workplace. A connected workforce is more crucial than ever. Companies invest heavily in employee engagement programmes and diversity and inclusion initiatives, yet research shows we are becoming more disconnected than ever. Shockingly, fewer than 1 in 5 people globally are actively engaged in their work.

These statistics result in low morale, decreased productivity, high staff turnover, and brand damage. True feelings of belonging at work remain elusive. Diversity and inclusion efforts are increasingly seen as tick-box exercises, leading to diminished trust from employees and exhaustion from leaders.

It is time to change the approach.

As a highly recommended keynote speaker and facilitator, Jackie has addressed global audiences and partnered with diverse organisations. Her presentations spark imagination and inspire action, providing audiences with the blueprint for sustainable culture transformation in the modern workplace.

Personally, Jackie is an active fundraiser for Dementia UK. She loves walking and has hiked three of the Camino de Santiago routes across Spain and Portugal in recent years. She brings many of the lessons learned into her work and her stories are captivating.
