Inspirational Speakers - February 2024
We are well and truly in the swing of 2024 now!
With neurodiversity awareness week and International Womens day just around the corner, we are busy booking phenomenal speakers for events.
We have had a huge increase in certain topics which has led to a demand in taking on new speakers to fit this need – which means attending events to see them speak… which I love doing!
I have put below a few new speakers that we are excited to work with, and just a few featured podcasts, testimonials and showreels to champion the fantastic people we get to work with!
