BLAIRE PALMER
" These have been the most important conversations I've had in my career. "
Blaire Palmer is an author, speaker, coach, consultant and commentator with two decades of experience coaching and provoking boards and senior leaders to think differently about how they lead in fast changing times. Finding ways to lead in partnership with their people, with authenticity, balancing the demands of a big, broad role, working across time zones and cultures and finding the time and space to think, play, innovate and grow are all on the agenda for those who work with her.
As one of the youngest female producers of the BBC’s flagship “Today Programme” Blaire spent a decade breaking stories and shaping the UK news agenda before her fascination with leadership and change led her to train as one of the UK’s first corporate coaches. Since then she’s written 3 successful books on the subject and is regularly quoted in the media.
Blaire is no stranger to change herself. From leaving her safe and respected job at the BBC and starting her own company at the age of 29 to becoming a digital nomad and taking her family (and her two dogs) on the road for a year, she is well-versed in the personal roller-coaster of change. She believes business can be a force for good in the world without sacrificing profitability and sustainability, and that work can provide us with a sense of meaning, purpose and community. She's on a mission to live and work on these terms...and help others do the same. But that can't happen without change.
Known for combining warmth and charm with a no nonsense, straight talking style, she shakes up our thinking and inspires her clients to challenge everything they thought they knew. They love her energy, her down to earth approach and her depth of knowledge.
