Inspirational Speakers – May 2025

May has been another fantastic month at Inspirational Speakers, filled with brilliant events, impactful conversations, and the addition of some exciting new speakers to our roster.

One of the highlights this month has been supporting a wide range of events for Mental Health Awareness Week. It has been incredible to see so many organisations prioritising wellbeing and creating space for honest, powerful conversations. A huge thank you to all our speakers who have delivered thought-provoking, supportive, and inspiring talks throughout the week. The feedback has been phenomenal.

We have also welcomed some brilliant new names to our speaker line up (scroll down to meet them!) and continue to enjoy working with clients old and new on events that really make a difference.

Scroll down for this month’s speaker shoutout, glowing client feedback, and a sneak peek at what is coming up.

Here is to ending spring on a high!

Monthly Shoutout

This month, we’re giving a well deserved shoutout to the brilliant Dave Keeling – an international speaker known for his energising and engaging talks on change management, teamwork, communication, creativity, and wellbeing.

Dave recently delivered a session for Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, tackling the famously tricky after lunch slot and absolutely smashed it! His ability to connect with the audience, lift the energy in the room, and deliver powerful takeaways led to glowing feedback across the board.

Dave brings a unique blend of humour, insight, and authenticity to every event he’s part of. He knows exactly how to strike the right balance between engaging and impactful, and it’s always a pleasure to work with him.

Well done Dave, this shoutout is more than earned!
