Inspirational Speakers – March 2026

As we reach the end of the financial year, it feels like the perfect time to pause and say a huge thank you to all our amazing speakers. This month has been incredibly busy, with some fantastic events taking place and brilliant feedback coming in, including sessions from Bradley Scanes at L’Oreal, Sara Pascoe at the ATC Awards, Martine Wright with Network Rail and Ben Hunt-Davis at Planet Labs – to name just a few!

Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome a few new speakers to the roster, covering some of the topics in highest demand. It’s an exciting time for us and we cannot wait to see what the next few months bring.

Client feedback

We were looking for a speaker for International Women's Day, and Victoria provided a list of speakers that met our criteria and budget. Once we selected a speaker the support was great from Inspirational Speakers, with a planning meeting and correspondence all organised smoothly and efficiently. The speaker choice was excellent, and our selected speaker was perfect for what we needed - with fantastic feedback from our attendees.

The Hinckley SchoolSpeaker: Action Jackson

We had the panel event this morning and what a pleasure it was to have Toni with us. Her contributions to the discussion were fantastic and we are very grateful for her time.

Phillip Morris InternationalSpeaker: Toni Horn

On behalf of everyone at ECC, a huge thank you for your fantastic keynote at our conference last Thursday. Although we’ve not yet received formal feedback, it’s clear that your session was a real highlight. It has already been the subject of several positive conversations within our own team, and we know our delegates will also have taken away an enormous amount. It was inspiring, thought-provoking and we're sure genuinely impactful, with so much insightful content to refer back to. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you again, and we very much hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together again in the future.
