Our Speakers

Here to inspire and inform

Empowering education professionals to prioritise wellbeing is vital for fostering resilient, motivated, and thriving school communities. Our expert speakers are here to inspire, inform, and equip education staff with practical tools to enhance their wellbeing, emotional resilience, and workplace satisfaction. We work with Schools and MATs to inspire leaders to move wellbeing beyond the biscuits in the staff room, and to embed it at an organisational level to aid recruitment and retention.

Whether you're planning a conference, a headteacher cluster, trust conference or are looking for a keynote speaker for your next seminar, our dynamic speakers bring a wealth of experience and expertise to your audience. From addressing stress management and burnout prevention, raising awareness and creating menopause advocates, to addressing why staff wellbeing matters, our talks are tailored to meet the unique challenges faced by education staff and school leaders.
