Rob Burnet from Nairobi was first class. His brilliant insights into how to tell powerful stories which really connect people, was hugely useful to me and he made me rethink the whole way we communicate authentically with our customers.

Every time I work with the SpeakersHub team, I'm blown away by the quality of people on their roster and the access they have to a who's-who of innovative, provocative and leading edge thinkers and leaders. If you want to build knowledge and get insight from people who are at the very top of the latest thinking and leaders in their field then Sarah and the team are the people to talk to.

Thanks for yesterday Geoff - extremely powerful content and delivery, which made a great impact on the team. Afterwards,I was struck by how many people were openly discussing ‎the strains in their own life and the overall absence of cynicism about the event - both of which are a big departure from the norm and a proof point of the difference you are making in the world.

‘Your talk was fundamental to the success of the event, and we are very grateful for the time and effort you took to come to Lima to share your knowledge and experiences with us. Your contribution helped us inspire over 8,000 virtual and in-person attendees, fostering crucial conversations about how new technologies can enhance our capabilities while keeping us connected to our essential humanity.’

Having worked for the same business for almost 17 years, I felt my knowledge of leadership practices outside our company was limited. I have found it invaluable hearing from other leaders, across a broad range of industries. It’s good to know where we’re getting things right, and I’ve also been able to take new ideas & learnings back to our wider SLT to see how we can apply them to our own business.

Last week the Health Services Executive Team and I had the pleasure of visiting Alder Hey Children’s Hospital for a tour and a visit to their Innovation Hub, led by Dr Iain Hennessey and team. It was incredibly impressive and I really enjoyed spending time in another healthcare organisation, seeing and learning about how they are delivering excellence in innovation. The hospital puts patients and their families at the heart of every decision they make and actions they take, making the environment as welcoming as possible, including things like the smell and look of different areas to make the children feel comfortable. They also have no sirens when the ambulances arrive so not to distress any of the patients.
The day was organised by Wavelength in partnership with Alder Hey, Adrian Simpson from Wavelength helped facilitate a great session where we were able to share ideas around patient centricity and innovation and look for ways in which we can continue to develop the healthcare we deliver for our own patients and customers. Huge thank you to the hospital and Wavelength for an amazing day it has certainly inspired us!

"The programme worked extremely well and gave my team and I a great opportunity to connect with many entrepreneurs, businesses and ideas. We now approach innovation differently at Tesco from both an organisational and cultural perspective.”

Your own participation received one of the two highest ratings for the Summit overall at 4.23 out of 5, together with much very favourable written and verbal feedback. On behalf of Fidelity International I would like to thank you sincerely for your significant contribution towards making this year’s Summit a success.
