Testimonials
"Beth delivered an insightful session to our Investment Division. Beth was incredibly honest and open about her own experiences, which provided a powerful introduction to an unfortunately oft overlooked pillar of inclusion and diversity. The presentation and subsequent Q&A were very well-received on the day and many more people watched the recording afterward with outstanding feedback."
St James’s Place
"Beth ran an engaging and informative session for our Division. The session challenged misconceptions and really struck a chord with members of the Division, particularly with regard to Invisible Disabilities and the challenges individuals can face unbeknownst to others. I would really recommend the session to any organisation looking to become more accessible or open up a conversation on barriers to conventional ‘9-5’ employment."
Department for Education
"Beth is an articulate, thoughtful, and dynamic speaker. Combining her accomplished speaking skills and sincerity, she is able to not only connect with people (even in virtual spaces) but also to move them to take action. I would highly recommend Beth as a keynote speaker, especially if you want your audience to love learning something new!"
Harvard University
"Beth Kume-Holland is a very understated, very determined, hugely impressive person... leading a critical culture change in work and health for employers as we move into our 'new normal'. Bringing together global businesses, charities and experts to create accessible work opportunities for those currently excluded by traditional work practises, and challenging assumptions around a hidden pool of talent."
