About Speaker Buzz
We believe that in today’s challenging world, organisations and their people need more support than ever to develop and maintain morale, clarity of purpose, resilience and productivity.
Our handpicked speakers talk passionately and inspirationally about today’s most relevant topics – from workplace wellbeing and leadership for remote teams and mental health in our always-on digital culture, to urgent challenges around diversity, inclusion, social impact and the environment.
We also believe that bringing about change takes time.
While a one-off motivational talk is hugely effective, we work closely with our clients to create bespoke support programmes that address long-term challenges and objectives to deliver lasting change.

"It was an absolute pleasure working with John Barclay at the HIT Leadership Conference. He was warm and friendly and instantly connected with the audience. His experience of overcoming adversity and helping turn around attitudes makes him a great corporate speaker."
"Kenton’s achievements are truly exceptional. He can literally and metaphorically get your team to climb to new heights! An outstanding motivational speaker."
“Lauren Currie brought real honesty and humility to the conversation which made a mark on us all.”
"Just wanted to say a big thanks to Laura for her great workshop. It was good fun, she had really high energy and was the perfect fit for our culture internally! Laura kept the session upbeat and interactive and we have had really good feedback so far. Keep up the awesomeness!"
"John Hatfield was a valuable contribution to our conference. Communication is everything and the core message he gave was spot on. We can only work effectively if we communicate effectively, especially in a geographically distributed business. The human element in any business is core to making people feel like they belong and diversity of style needs to be welcomed."
