Clare Kenny

Before her late diagnosis, she spent decades navigating extreme anxiety, emotional dysregulation, memory challenges, addiction and overwhelm. Nobody ever suggested ADHD because she didn’t fit the stereotypical picture of what ADHD looked like.

Living with an unregulated nervous system without understanding why led Clare into the neuroscience of performance, leadership and psychological safety. Today, she helps organisations build cultures that don’t constantly activate people’s nervous systems and instead harness diversity of thought to improve inclusion, wellbeing and performance.

With over two decades of experience in leadership, learning and development, Clare has led global wellbeing strategy at Burberry and held senior roles within leading consultancies across Europe and Asia. She translates the science of the nervous system into practical strategies that help leaders and teams create psychologically safe, inclusive and high-performing cultures.

Clare has delivered hundreds of keynote speeches, workshops and leadership programmes internationally, including a TEDx talk. Her clients include HSBC, KPMG, Novartis, Vestas, Channel 4 and Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter. Audiences leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to create healthier, more inclusive and higher-performing teams.

Clare is an engaging, insightful and highly practical speaker who combines personal experience with evidence-based research. Her keynotes challenge the way people think about leadership, wellbeing and workplace culture, giving organisations the tools to unlock performance by creating environments where people can do their best work.
