Kirsty Hulse runs companies that make work better. She's helped more than 60,000 leaders, teams and C-suite executives to build confidence and communicate better. She has spoken in more than 20 countries, sharing her wisdom with companies like LinkedIn, Amazon and Meta.

As CEO of Neuroworx, Kirsty is fixing hiring by making it simpler and fairer. She also runs Roar!, turning boring corporate training into something people actually enjoy. She created Confidence Live, the world's largest conference dedicated to confidence, where CEOs share stages with comedians, and drag queens perform alongside poets, drawing people from around the world to the unlikely setting of her hometown, Stoke-on-Trent. Her first book, The Future is Freelance, predicted the flexible-working revolution back in 2016 (nobody believed her then, yet here we all are, directing global operations in paint-splattered yoga pants).

On top of all that, Kirsty is a stand-up comedian and brings that energy to everything she does. When she's not fixing workplaces, she's making corporate PowerPoints funny ? because someone has to.
