Meet our Speakers

Andy Moss spent 24 years learning that the hard way, finishing his Army career as a Regimental Sergeant Major, the senior soldier responsible for discipline and for upholding values and standards. Andy has spent his life doing the hard things. He ran the Comrades Marathon, 56 miles uphill, and, being afraid only of heights and falling, jumped out of a plane and abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower. He has swum with great white sharks, burpee’d for a mile, and raised thousands for good causes along the way. His knees are now made of biscuits, which is proof that none of it was big nor clever, but he would probably do it again. Andy supports leaders from across business and the public sector. He is the author of the forthcoming book The Standard You Walk Past. At TEDxGosport he asks what it costs us every day, to look the other way. What are you walking past that you have told yourself isn’t your problem? You are only as good as the standard you walk past.

Anna Lundberg works with founders and leaders at the point where the very things that made them successful start holding them back. The drive, the habits, the definition of success they built a career on – the ones that worked, until they didn’t. She helps them see the scripts running underneath it all: the beliefs about success we pick up so early we forget we ever absorbed them, and rarely stop to question. She spent a decade chasing the conventional version of success – an Oxford degree, a marketing career, ticking every box – then a decade redefining it. She’s written two books, with a third on the way, and hosts the Reimagining Success podcast. Anna lives in Poole with her partner and two young children, and builds her work around school hours and real life.

Dr. Aditi Bhalla is a Specialist Dentist, Integrative Psychotherapist, and mother – she had the credentials, the career, and was quietly falling apart anyway. She lived through burnout, postnatal depression, anxiety, and a painful wrist condition that forced everything – her work, her identity, her carefully constructed life – to stop. What emerged on the other side was a new focus: helping high-achieving professionals build the kind of life that prevents the fall rather than waiting for it. In her TEDx talk: What Kind of Villager Am I?, she shares what she found in her time of stillness- not a wellness plan, but a question that changed how she shows up for her own life and work. Honest, warm, and carrying the clarity that only comes from hitting the floor, she’ll leave you thinking differently about connection, community, care, and the village you have the power to create.

Professional peacemaker’, Emma Jenkings, spends her time navigating interpersonal conflict as a workplace mediator, SEND mediator, conflict coach, and interpersonal skills trainer. Emma’s focus is helping individuals and organisations navigate conflict by uncovering the shared values hidden beneath complex disagreements. Emma loves facilitating the difficult conversations that bridge divides and prioritises deeper listening and understanding over winning arguments. In her TED talk, Emma explores how rediscovering what lies beneath behaviour in conflict offers a route to insight and connection in an increasingly polarised world.

What if the thing that made you happiest as a child is exactly what your adult brain is missing? Jimmy has spent a lifetime climbing trees, from the New Forest as a four year old to founding a recreational tree climbing business in Stanley Park, Gosport. In his TEDx talk, Jimmy explores the surprising neuroscience of what happens when adults reconnect with nature through challenge, and why climbing a tree might be one of the simplest resets available to a busy, overstimulated mind. What started as a childhood passion has since grown into a family-run business, taking children and adults up into the canopies of trees across the UK, connecting people of all ages with the unique perspective only found at height – pausing, looking up, and rediscovering the playfulness many of us leave behind as we grow up.
