Leadership Speakers

About Our Leadership Speakers

Leadership has always been open to widely varied interpretations. As leadership expert Alan Chapman states, we can find leadership in every sort of work and play, and in every sort of adventure and project, regardless of scale, and regardless of financial or official authority.

Our leadership speakers come from varied backgrounds. They are from the corporate world – CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, politicians. They are athletes, media and entertainment experts. Our speakers may discuss the subject as a behaviour, a philosophy or a model. They may provide actionable takeaways from their presentation that are motivational or inspirational in nature. They draw on personal experience, failures and achievements of themselves and others to deliver their message and connect with the audience in a relatable way.
