Speakers:

Naomi Glover - Naomi is an Applied Neuroscientist who has a sharp focus on brain health at work. Naomi will be running a wowrkshop for us on making workplaces more brain healthy for brains of all ages and stages - including a section on menopause.

Helen Davies - Founder of Practical Wisdom, a Clinical Director and the creator of The Neuroinclusion Quality Marker Accreditation. Helen's session at Culture Camp DEI is around embracing diverse neuro-types and enhancing performance for all. This will be an interactive session where we consider DEI, neurodiversity and its intersectionality.

Akil Hunte - Akil is Chair of NRG Lawyers, a public speaker and a spoken word poet. Akil's session is on 'leading with confidence through genuine and authentic connections'. Given the increasing rise of tech and social media, the way people develop networks and create connections to encourage DEI and belonging is evolving. Akil is going to talk about how we get that right.

Shurron Rosales - Shurron is back to Culture Camp by very popular demand. Shurron is an Inclusion Specialist and will be leading a session on the importance of inclusive language. Shurron spoke at Culture Camp in October 2025, and the session was incredible. Shurron has 20+ years of experience across charities, corporates and education. She brings both deep expertise and rich, intersectional lived experience as a South Asian daughter of immigrants, a mother of dual-heritage and non-binary children, and an unpaid carer to her disabled son.

Lucy Harvey - Lucy is COO at Stribe - the award-winning employee survey software that helps organisations create workplaces where people genuinely thrive. Lucy's session is called: 'Heard. Filed. Forgotten. The feedback gap burning out HR and eroding trust'. Most of us are running more employee surveys than ever, but fewer feel confident that anything actually changes as a result. That gap is where trust quietly erodes and where so much of our energy gets lost. This session is about naming exactly where the feedback loop breaks - because we can't fix what we can't say out loud. Lucy will dig in to what HR leaders across the UK are saying is really going on, then she'll hand over to the audience for the kind of conversation that Culture Camp was built for.

Why Culture Camp?

Because too many conversations about the future of work are pessimistic.
Because we believe hope and optimism is a strategy.
Because community beats competition.
Because leadership isn’t about power; it’s about presence, compassion and courage.

Culture Camp is a space to think big, slow down, connect deeply and leave recharged.
